We stayed at The Esplanade for a short break to celebrate in mid August this year. We saw a rate on the internet that was about £30 cheaper for the 3-day stay than what we were quoted on the phone. You cannot book on the internet - you can only send them an email and they will confirm whether they... more

The only thing nice about this hotel is the location, lobby and the bar. The location is outstanding but there are other hotels on Fistral Bay, try them first. The lobby is bright and airy, and the reception staff were very pleasant (not helpful but pleasant) and the bar staff equally nice so we thought we were three for three... more

On arrival we were greeted most pleasantly by the reception staff. Our check in was very efficient. We haven’t visited this hotel since 1997 when we had a rather disappointing experience. However, we decided to give them the benefit of the doubt as since then, according to the website, a lot has been updated and refurbished and, in many areas,... more

We are staying at the esplanade currently and are due to go home tomorrow after a great holiday. Newquay has had so much bad publicity recently, we felt we should let people know our experience. We arrived at the Esplanade last friday, in the middle of the boardmaster surf festival on Fistral beach, the hotel is right over the beach,... more

We have stayed at the Esplanade for 3 years running and we love this hotel! It has a really friendly atmosphere and the staff always are happy to help. The rooms have been refurbished each year and are a great improvement. We always have room 108 - a huge family room with plasma tv, huge bathroom, King size bed for... more

It rained for most of the time we were there but the lobby overlooked the beach which was nearly as good as being out on the beach. The lobby was probably that best part of the hotel. The pool, spa, sauna area wasn't all that. Our toilet was blocked for about 16 hours but in the end fixed itself. They... more

Was a bit nervous about staying here because of the mixed reviews but it's not a bad place. It's a fairly old building that has been only partially rennovated, which means the rooms and most of the hotel are a bit dated. That said, it has a perfect location opposite the beach and a decent-sized swimming pool with sauna and... more

Weloved the hotel Esplanade, the hotel is right on the beach so well located. The rooms are very nicely done, much better than we expected. The lobby was also trendy but welcoming, and the staff were really approachable. If your visiting cornwall, this is well worth a try. more

Our group consisted of ages ranging from 8 to 90 years old, so a wide variety of perspectives. The hotel offers gorgeous views from the lobby reception area, we found it a great place to relax. The staff were extremely helpful and accommodated any request we made. The family room was huge, with more than enough storage and bunk beds... more
