Such a fabulous hotel would recommend to anyone
Perfect in every way
Location and view
Dinner was ok but nothing great
Everything
Good hotel
Expensive. Poor view
Loved the location, breakfast was lovely and rooms very comfortable
Pool, jacuzzi and treatments
Leaking shower left water all over the floor (was fixed the day before we left) Not enough radiator space to dry towels, especially as you were encouraged to keep spa towels for the duration of your stay
VERY GOOD ALL ROUND
It was quite with nice view and pleasant staff we enjoyed the food evening meal and breakfast was great service . Delicious and quick food. Your merlot wine went down well.
To remote had to eat in the hotel unless you drive into town. Which was a fair walk
We really enjoyed the location, views, food, comfort.
N/a
Lovely room fantastic pool & spa, delightful treatments, wonderful restaurant with excellent food, breakfast choices were all delicious would stay there again
Only drawback was to switch the jacuzzi on was the other side of the pool so you had to get out of the jacuzzi to put it back on!
Excellent location, breakfast was great and staff in the dining area were very friendly
Pool could have been cleaner. (Do accept it is very near a beach though)
Breakfast really good , liked that you ordered , even continental, rather than helping yourself to food that the other guests have sneezed/coughed over ! And it’s was cooked well , not lying about for ages.
Unfortunately, the paint work in the whole of the hotel was “tied” and our bathroom sink (112) needed a couple of repair jobs. The bed wasn’t to our taste , too soft and bouncy, didn’t sleep properly.
Fabulous room with a great view. Lovely staff.
Food was a bit hit and miss. My main course was lovely but the mushroom tempura starter was just a pile of burnt batter with no discernable mushrooms.
Lication.
Reviews
Friendly staff lovely spa facilities excellent view
Room was shabby not upto 4 star standards They seem to accommodate spa and dining room more than staying guests
Staff very friendly food lovely and breakfast lovely swimming was great perfect location
Nothing other then I think some of the rooms could do with a little TLC
Very small. Low budget
Location
Food menu poor, very out of date. No healthy choices
What did I like? Everything, the whole experience was beyond expectation. The location is mindblowing, the staff are friendly, tge foʻd is to die for, the bar is well stocked and tge roons are of a very high standard. This is one of tge best and we will be back.
Are you serious? This place is hotel perfection.
The breakfast was really good. The only suggestion was that fresh fruit salad was available.
The decor was dated.
Breakfast great
Couldn't fault
Everything staff food room excellent
Loved it was right on the beach, the food was amazing, stayed as part of our honeymoon & the staff went out of there way to leave us a card which was lovely.
Was on the top floor, felt very dated, went to the pool & that also was very dated, some bits needs a good revamp.
Reception staff were fantastic. Jeffery at dinner was fabulous!
Pleasant sea front hotel, nice, comfortable clean and well maintained room. Excellent bar and restaurant with open terrace, when the sun shines.
Great staff! The location is just fabulous for a beach walk. I can’t recommend this hitel enough. Maybe just check there isn’t a wedding on if you want peace and quiet.
Nothing
The setting overlooking the Irish Sea was great. The staff at Reception and in the dining areas were excellent - hard - working and helpful. Breakfast especially stood out as it was cooked to order with a great variety to choose from.
We booked our room based on measurements stated on booking.com ie 355ft². We don't like small rooms. We were allocated 315 - an attic room, with a sea view but measuring 143ft² plus a very small ensuite. We queried the allocation at Reception, and the response was that this has happened before with booking.com. It was suggested that the ensuite would be included by booking.com, so that was the difference! Clearly, not over 200ft! Fortunately, the receptionist was sympathetic and had a much larger room (234) available, which she moved us to at no extra charge. So there is a question regarding accuracy of measurements quoted. Maybe dealing directly with the hotel is the answer? PS the ensuite in 234 was minute with nowhere to hang wet towels or lay out toiletries.
Excellent breakfast. Staff were lovely
The food was lovely The staff were helpful in every way
I didn't like that there was no entertainment such as a singer or maybe a piano or guitar player
Excellent choice on the breakfast menu. Also evening meals had a good choice and were reasonably priced.
Great position, decor was modern, very clean and tidy, the staff were attentive
Nothing
Property was lovely and very clean
Would say its a bit out of the way and no bus service into town need to get taxis
The location
The noise. We went for the night for a break, with it being a spa hotel I hoped for some peace and quiet. We had someone next door to us in and out of their room; the door was so creaky. And then they had the tv on loud all night. We didn’t ring reception as we just wanted to try and get some rest, and they looked over worked. We left very early due to being exhausted and missed breakfast. I do feel like I wasted £200 for one night.
Location
Superb hotel
Everything was good
Staff and room clean and comfortable for excellent price.
Breakfast was very good plenty of choice
Nothing
The location is great, right at the beach and (for us) at the end of the Offa's dyke path. It's a short walk to the center of Prestatyn. The hotel is old but quite well maintained. Good selection of choice for breakfast
It's a bit on the expensive side. The pool is ok but i guess it's old and for instance the hot tub needs some upgrading, it gave cold water.
I enjoyed the view very much, enjoyed our breakfast and evening meal, great staff very friendly people 👍
Some of the carpets are a little worn.
Close to beach great staff clean and helpful
The doors to the lift next to our room where abit of pain only as they where a little noisy and awkward to her to the lift will luggage feel didnt really need the door there
It was by the sea lovely staff
Dirty corridors window was screwed down in the top floor room which was boiling up there adults swimming in pool when it was child’s swim so my autistic son wouldn’t get in that’s why we booked this hotel as it had set swim times
Beautiful and clean, fresh, absolutely breathtaking views.
Staff go above and beyond caring helpful .

Wonderful restaurant, fantastic staff, superb room, went for one night and had the best night's sleep we'd had all week. Thank you very much, highly recommend and will stay again.
I loved my stay it was amazing, Food, Staff And the Location absolutely amazing Thanks alot.

Love the position on the front though a little out of Prestatyn, the weather wasn't great on our visit so walking into the town in a thunderstorm wasn't great ...but that was our fault..The room was lovely n clean...plenty of tea coffee n water. Lovely little swimming pool, towels on request. Jacuzzi n sauna was a nice touch too. Bar area and dining room was bright and spacious. There was a good choice of breakfast as well as juices and cereals. Staff were helpful and friendly A big plus for us was the large free carpark across from the hotel. We have stayed here before with our children it was lovely to return to see it hasn't lost its charm.
Nothing
Overall it was a pleasant expeirience
Nothing to dislike
Great facilities good location
Room was extremely dusty also shower door was not working properly it wouldn't close fully
Great room, comfortable and clean. Brilliant Location,right next to the beach. Use of a pool.
The price for food was expensive, smaller portions , could bring the price down.
Right on the beach. Free car park.
The location The pool Some staff were understanding and helpful.
The room wasn’t clean The bins were not emptied The quilt was badly stained ( had to remove the cover as it was very hot during stay) The toilet to the children’s bedroom stank of stale water/sewage waste. The children’s menu was poor The pizza we had was badly burnt and had to claim a refund
Breakfast was good, food fine. Service was quick and efficient. Staff polite and friendly
Room was too small. No means to cool room down as sun was in room all afternoon. Bathroom was ridiculously small. Had better room last year. Very disappointing.
Car Parking was essential for us and didn’t disappoint Welcoming and helpful staff Breakfasts excellent Dinner spoilt by people going out and not being able to shut the door, letting the wind in Our room was lovely, views of the beach and sea, Really liked Prestatyn. I would love to come back and walk the beach, didn’t have time, have to save up again!
Slightly run down, little things like if I had a screwdriver the drawers needed tightening, sink run away was black and taps could have been cleaner
Lovely location right on beach. Great decor and good facilities. Breakfast was lovely but let down by cheap sachets of sauces on the table and no black pepper, etc. It's a shame as it let it down. Breakfast buffet selection could have been slightly more variationn on cereals and fruit, but cooked breakfast was very good.
See above. The little touches make a big difference, and plastic sachets are environmentally very bad and no need for them in hotel restaurants.
The location was perfect for our quiet night away
Good location.. Friendly staff. Great price
Breakfast and staff. Car park convenient.
It was a beautiful hotel, very clean, the staff were lovely and friendly, the room was spotless and the bed was so comfy slept like a baby! It was peaceful especially being right on the beach. I will definitely be booking this hotel again!
Only thing I didn’t like was booking in for breakfast/tea other than that amazing
Staff and location
Size of shower
Great location near Prestatyn and close to lovely sand dunes walk
Nothing
Great location! Lovely breakfast and facilities.
The closeness o the beach.
Service was slow and inattentive t times. The sea view was hard to see without standing up.
It was a good location and a added bonus being the beach
We think the carpets in the corridor could do with having a refit, and the shower could do with being more spacious and a little bit of touch up paintwork
Amazing. Clean rooms, friendly staff and clean facilities.
Was served dairy for a dairy allergy which wasn’t ideal but was promptly changed.
We enjoyed the breakfast and there was plenty to eat a good choice of food.
The room had everything in that we needed I just thought the room could of been bigger the staff helped with providing wot we asked for eg extra pillows .
Great location, the decor was lovely. Nice staff, lovely breakfast.
All good.
Great location and friendly staff

The friendly staff and location
Breakfast and restaurant food was first class for quality and presentation 👌
Booked a double room but had 2 single beds in it pushed together.
Breakfast was very good, lots of choice and good quality produce. Staff lovely and bedding very clean.
The room was a little disappointing particularly the en-suite, the toilet seat was broken, ceiling paint peeling and carpet in main room dirty with marks
The location was nice and enjoyed the massage
Very dated rooms for the price and the food was average at best for the price
Breakfast was really good and service was excellent
Nothing
Amazing hotel. Ideal location on the seafront with ample parking. Comfy beds with spacious rooms and lovely decor. Delicious breakfast with great options made to order. What makes this hotel stand out is the staff who are so welcoming. Thank you to the caring and kind Elizabeth who assisted my father.
We really enjoyed our stay the room was lovely with a comfy bed, breakfast was great and a nice relax in the pool
Location, Cleanliness and lovely staff.
Sunday roast all staff in bar/restaurant, reception, breakfast were great. Pool temperature good. Location.
Room wasn't cleaned to a high standard. Coffee stains on wall and beside bedside cabinet. Bathroom decor very dated and old sealant, grouting etc
Beautiful setting on the beach and wonderful 👍😊 breakfast. Friendly staff and free parking.
Lovely hotel next to the beach easy walk into the town centre enjoy our stay
Nothing
-Emplacement idéal pour observer l’éclipse -La piscine aux horaires décalés sans personne - la terrasse face à la mer
Très mauvaise cuisine pour un soi disant 4 étoiles Petit déjeuner plus que médiocre pour un 4 étoiles
We liked everything from the beginning to the end. The biggest bonus of this hotel was its staff. The people are simply amazing; the food is delicious, and our stay was everything we wanted to achive of a short break we had. Thank you all for your hard work
nothing comes to mind
Very clean beautifully furnished very comfortable
Everything was perfect
I loved everything about this hotel..staff was brilliant..the hotel was lovely and clean
Great location and room clean and comfortable great food we were there for northern soul event and would definitely stay again great place and staff polite and helpful
Freindly staff very clean breakfast excellent
Bedroom hot not enough space
Staff very friendly, the food was excellent, location was lovely and within walking distance.
The cleanliness of the rooms could have been better. Appeared either short staff or lack of care also doors banging late at night or early hours. For the price charged the room was small and a double, banged into the dressing table a few times to get passed the bed.
Location, friendly staff and breakfast was lovely
Room was so hot on the 3rd floor. Didn't really sleep
Had a wonderful 2 days with Seaview room weather was fantastic we got to sit outside late in evenings admiring the view staff friendly breakfast lots of choice and lovely. The only thing I wish was in the room would be a mini fridge especially with how hot it was as they leave complementary bottles water which unfortunately were warm.
Location was excellent! Great service.
The blind in our room was broken and this wasn’t dealt with very well. I ended fixing it myself but apart from that lovely.
The location.
Furniture all a little tired.
The hotel was beautiful, very clean, great location.
Can’t fault it.
A great atmosphere at all times made possible by the positive attitude and friendliness of the staff. The facilities were excellent including the meals we had.
The family changing room at the Spa was less than private. I felt rather vulnerable getting undressed.
Lovely hotel, great service from the staff. Excellent breakfast options.
Nothing we didn’t like.
All of it
Sue at breakfast was wonderful - An efficient service with friendly smile. Lots of waiters / waitresses and all very busy and with good customer services training. All options were excellent quality and portion sizes. Particularly enjoyed the Eggs Royal, American Pancakes and Full English - THANK YOU Bar staff also exceptionally friendly and welcoming with great local knowledge. The singer Sarah Price was a FANTASTIC evening's entertainment. Finally a GREAT reiki session received from the Spa manager - very accommodating and deeply relaxing.
This is a very small suggestion - the stairs could do with hoovering; just a heavy use area as an observation. Bins were emptied regularly but this means a LOT of unnecessary use of plastic liners - perhaps this could wait until end of stay if bin was a little larger with a lid perhaps - to maintain high standards?
Muy cómodo y muy buen ubicado
The location is excellent. We relaxed in the sunshine sat on the decking. Beautiful view over the beach. Food great. We will be back.
Nothing i disliked
This hotel needs a deep clean. Our bathroom, sheets and towels were fine, but every other surface in our room, the hotel restaurant, the hallways, doors, walls, carpets, upholstered chairs- visibly dirty. Our room was too warm and smelled strongly of the food being served for breakfast.
We received a warm welcome on arrival, the staff were very friendly and happy to help. The rooms are clean, and comfortable . Food is good,. The pool and spa were also clean and accessible. Thank you for making our stay a memorable one.
Views fantastic breakfast amazing rooms lovely and clean beautiful place
