Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The view is just sublime. The room was delightful. The service was mixed. We did think at one point we were wearing a cloak of invisibility. And we felt like replying when someone asked,”Any allergies,” “Yes, slow service.” The food was excellent and we heard one gentleman say he had eaten scrambled eggs all over the world but the ones at The Harbour Heights were the finest.

Dated room but good breakfast

Room itself was a bit dated but breakfast was really nice and made to order with a view of Poole harbour. Location is 9 minutes walk from the beach but you can’t really see it unless you’re in the dining room or specific rooms I believe

We had a wonderful 3 nights, in a comfortable room, with excellent food and a stunning view of the harbour from the dining terrace and our bedroom. A very friendly welcome from reception staff, including a courtesy call the day before. Most of the dining staff, were helpful and efficient. We would definitely return again. We had a lovely time in beautiful Sandbanks and the hotel was in a great location for a walk to the beach.

Wyndham

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I can only imagine what this place used to be. The views are breathtaking but the hotel has certainly seen better days. Very tired and dirty! Food was appalling so give that a miss. We sent both dishes, from the very dire menu, back as it was not edible. The rooms was dated, tired and dirty. The restaurant and veranda look over to the most amazing views but was somewhat dampened down by the dirty windows. Manager seemed to not enjoy being there, which I feel was adding to the problem. I can imagine him not motivating staff or leading. His own trousers were filthy! Such a shame as this could be such a gem!

Stunning views

Very nice and friendly reception staff and a lovely room. Our only gripe would be no table service for drinks from the bar. There were so many tables with old used glasses and tea & coffee cups lying around as no one was collecting them during the day and again when we were in the bar in the evening. We had to wait half an our for our breakfast once we ordered it which we felt was too long. The hotel has stunning views and the location is great. We would stay there again.

Hotel was very good..my only criticism would be related to the staff. Some were ok...others not so, and they were at the point of being rude. Which is a shame as the hotel is ideally situated for fantastic views ,with very good facilities.
