Bournemouth West Cliff Hotel & Spa

Bournemouth West Cliff Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"We really enjoyed our stay here. The room was clean. Was a little hot but we brought a fan with us so was fine. The pool facilities were clean, pool was quite small but was okay for us. We had a spa day booked while we were staying which was very nice. The facilities were all really clean and the spa staff were very friendly and helpful. Reception and bar staff were helpful. The bar and restaurant area were lovely as well as the garden. We had lunch included in the spa day which was lovely. The prices for the restaurant were quite expensive but the food was nice. Overall we would really recommend this hotel and would stay again☺️"
