Disliked: Cleanliness
great location, but our feeling is its an old tired hotel, we had basic room but was musty smelling and found dirty i had a dirty pillow cases, so had to sleep with one pillow, It was a very hot night, but window only open slightly, so no air, we did find a fan in cupboard, which helped. The beds are not very comfortable. Breakfast is self service, nothing to write home about, but adequate and you can eat outside with great views. Not great value for the money! but hopefully the better sea view rooms are better & cleaner.

The property was very expensive for the price, I expected at 4 star and have received better facilities in a 3 star. The room had a desk top fan, a dirty broken kettle and the bathroom looked like it had seen better days (20 years ago!) the building needs some tlc and attention, and the gate access to the swimming pool and beach really needs to be changed as the the doors would not open. The staff were nice and I did not complain as I was there for 1 night. I’ve spent less in the Maldives for 5 star facilities!

Bad service and bar
The location is superb and the spa and pool facilities good, however the hotel service was unprofess ional with untrained staff. Furthermore the bar cocktails were appalling and there were no nibbles available.

Lovely as ever!
There was a slight hiccup with my room, but they very kindly sorted it out. As ever the stay was lovely, I just need to let them know of my difficulties with stairs, which is why I was moved to nearer the lift. Great service by everyone.

Pleasant Sandbanks Stay
Hotel has a nice atmosphere, is in a great location as it is overlooking the ocean with easy access to the sandy beaches. I had a room with a balcony which was lovely watching the boats go by & having a cuppa in the morning. Room was very clean, bed was comfortable. Shower head was too heavy for the holder & it kept drooping down but i made do. Was happy tea/coffee was available in the room & a hairdryer & desk fan. Leisure centre was really nice, had a great time going in the hydro pool, sauna & steam room. Staff were polite & lovely, were happy to help & give me information about the place. Wasn’t busy at the time i went (June). Breakfast buffet had a good choice, you can have a full english, pastries, cereal, or cold cuts. Only thing that would’ve made it better was a better selection of fresh fruit, as it was only apricots & dates available which are not suitable for a busy day if you catch my drift :D. The point restaurant was alright, nice setting, polite waiters, the bar staff were very friendly & made me feel welcome. Props to those 2 younger lads behind the bar making banging cocktails. The point restaurant menu is a bit limited & over priced I felt. Drinks were a fair price. It does sometimes take a while to get served or get the bill because events at the restaurant. Staff all over the hotel were friendly & very helpful, I hope the boss treats them sometime because they deserve it :)

I love the location of this hotel, very special. The staff were friendly & helpful, but it seemed they were a little overwhelmed, not enough of them in. Also the bar ran out of some stocks of pineapple juice & limes used in some of the cocktails, that shouldn't happen.

Anniversary trip
Our 40th wedding anniversary and they made special effort with lovely petals on bed and towels in heart shapes. Staff very friendly apart from the evening when the man in charge of booking dinner was obnoxious and rude and not apologetic in any way about the fact he couldn’t fit us in. We were told when getting the menu there was no need to book if we wanted to eat in bar area. It wasn’t so much what he said but his attitude. It then cost us taxi into Poole and back £40 to get a meal as we had already had anniversary pre dinner drinks at the hotel. It all out a bit of a damper on the occasion.
