Top Sandbanks Beach Hotel Reviews

Bournemouth Highcliff Marriott Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything that you expect from a Marriott service and hotel <3"

Haven Hotel

8/10 Good

"Overall a great hotel. A bit worn in places especially pool area. Lovely hotel to take our dog to the beach was accessed through a gate from the hotel and was lovely and dog friendly. The room was very hot and quite unbearable in the hot weathers the staff got us an extra fan but it didn’t help. They need air con. The room did ruin our stay"

Sandbanks Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel (which we’ve been to a few times now) Right on the lovely sandy beach m which is a big plus for us! Free parking available (but must remember to enter your registration at reception) Able to still use some Hotel facilities for the remainder of the day after 11am checkout. Friendly and polite staff throughout. Lift available Good choice of buffet breakfast & good choice of drinks at the bar. Upgraded to a larger room with living area - many thanks. Unfortunately couldn’t get the living room window to open, but staff were very amenable and supplied us with a fan & mini fridge (it was a particularly hot time) - again “thank you”. We will definitely be back soon."

Modern apartment on Sandbanks Peninsula, with private garden. (pet friendly)

10/10 Excellent

"Overall our stay was excellent right in the middle of a heatwave. Only niggle was slow water trickle and no hot water to hand basin in bathroom but put up with it as we were only there for 3 nights.Be aware double bed mattress is very soft!"

Harbour Heights Hotel

8/10 Good

"We stayed in the old honeymoon suite by chance, as we booked a dog friendly room and on checking before travel there weren’t any available- so they allowed us this room as we’d paid ahead! Beautiful views of the sea and over the terraces of the hotel. The room itself, including the bathroom, as with most of the hotel, was very dated. The carpet was quite marked and 2 simple tub chairs were for ‘lounging’ in. Appreciated the aircon! The evening meal first 2 courses were excellent. Unfortunately we didn’t receive our desserts ordered so gave up and went to bed. There was no Sauvignon Blanc or Rose wines available (a change of bar manager that week apparently). A substitute bottle not listed was found - and we were charged £10 more than the most expensive one showing on the drinks menu ! Not what we’ve experienced anywhere else. After 2 discussions £5 reduction was given on our overall bill on checkout. Nb. Travelling with the dog means you get to have breakfast in the Loune area just aside from the main restaurant. It’s a bonus- lovely views of the sea!"

10/10 Excellent

"Villa Sofia is a wonderful place to stay. Donna is a fantastic host. The beds were super comfy, the kitchen is so well stocked, the house is immaculate and the robes were such a luxurious and unexpected addition.Being able to sit on the terrace and watch my daughter laugh and play on the swings, whilst the sun going down, was really special. We had such a memorable time at Villa Sofia and I would thoroughly recommend it."
