With the beach on one side and harbour on the other, this was a picturesque location. A fairly quiet area which was good. My room was a bit of a route march from the entrance but staff were great and i enjoyed my stay.

The hotel is right on the beach. We had a fantastic view of the sea from our room. Our room had everything we needed, although a little dusty in places. All in all a great stay.

Enjoyable stay in Sandbanks
Enjoyed our stay at Sandbanks. Room was well equipped and spacious and right on beach Breakfast was also good with plenty of choice We don’t usually eat at the hotel we stay in but chose to eat in both nights during our stay. The Pizzas were excellent and our Italian met was also good

8/10 Very good

Lovely, lovely place.
We had an amazing time, really enjoyed the breakfast with the sea view especially. I think what marred an otherwise perfect stay was when we were served burnt pizza on the beach, that put a dent in the experience for us.

Amazing stay, wonderful location
Really welcoming and helpful staff from reception through to cleaners through to bar, our suite was offered to us an hour early and the views, as promised, were excellent, as was the suite with an amazing view as promised. Italian restaurant - great food and friendly service. Our only gripe were the pillows, you had three but all were roughly the width of a pitta bread, very difficult to sleep and as we were in the top level room, you'd expect better quality. But that's the only thing.
Nicola, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The food and dining area was good. The rooms and general areas are dated and smelled musty. The room was cold and we had to request an electric heater. No way was the heating going to be turned on even though all areas except diningg area was damp and cold.
