    great family friendly hotel
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Family Room with Sofa Bed (2 Adults + 1 Child)
    • Stayed 2 nights

    terrible internet connection, need to improve breakfast ordering (or offer buffet instead) as you end up waiting >20mins for your order

    The staff was very helpful, offering treats for kids, great breakfast (although quite busy and confusing ordering process), nice pool and spa area, definitely good choice for families with kids

    Odd manner of bar server, firstly nowhere to be seen, then asking me to move to a table for 2 when restaurant otherwise empty.

    No parking charge. Holiday vibe. Appeared recently refurbished and up to date. Comfy bed. Quiet room at rear of building.

    I had to send food back on two occasions and I was only there for 3 nights. First time was they completely burnt my daughters chicken nuggets, they where black. Why would you even send that out. Second was my English breakfast, both the bacon and sausage came out raw!

    Loved the location and the hotel facilities. The rooms are very warm,clean and comfortable.

    Bath was unsafe as it had no grab rails/handles on the bath which caused me to slip. Bathroom floor also very slippy when wet. The £50.00 security deposit has still not been returned to us despite the receptionist asuring us on departure yesterday that it would be returned immediately!!

    Facilities were good and location was fantastic overlooking fistral beach.

    Service in the restaurant at breakfast can be a little slow if the restaurant is busy but the new a la carte breakfast is a great improvement on the previous somewhat chaotic buffet. The eggs Benedict and full English were great but my family were disappointed with the quality and quantity of the pancakes. Please also increase the avocado in the smashed avocado - it was more like avocado spread.

    The location, the hotel is walking distance to Fistral beach and the sea view rooms have amazing views. I have been staying at this hotel for at least 15 years and was very impressed on my visit this year with the renovations since my last visit in 2020. The food in the restaurant has also greatly improved, both for dinner and breakfast. The hotel was a lovely venue for my daughter’s 18th birthday. No doubt we will return again.

    Leaks in the conservatory when the rain was extreme which I was told are being rectified in the Jan 23 closure. Likewise a little noisy from the room above which I was also told is being rectified in closedown.

    Great location, views from the room and public areas were amazing. Food good.

    The only improvement I would make is to provide a few more things on the buffet breakfast bar for those who aren’t into big hot breakfasts, but apart from that a PERFECT like getaway with my boyfriend, and would definitely return to this hotel.

    I loved the view/location we could not be much closer to the sea. The staff in the hotel were really friendly the whole way through our stay, and the food was lovely.

    Not all dogs were on leads which made my child nervous. The rooms were quite small for the price.

    Right in front of the beach, good facilities. Restaurant was lovely and the soft play and games area was perfect for the kids after dinner!

    All was perfect except that the room toilet was not working properly. Need to try plunging the flush three times before it goes in.

    Perfect Cornwall view and spot for surfing. This is our 3rd time staying in Esplanade. The hotel has a pool and a game room where our son loved to play and hangout.

    It took an hour for breakfast to be served. Problem with parking, even on the road. We couldn’t extend the stay by 1h to use the swimming pool, all due to breakfast taking 1h

    Amazing rooms, location & facilities.
