Travel frequently and this place in bournemouth is by far my favourite in the area, the service is really quite special, everyone is always friendly which makes a reall difference. Food in Ventana was also great. I booked a standard room and it was as good as any three star room , probably better although the tV was old, I... more

Both me and my fiance who came to stay for Two nights to celebrate our engagement on the August bank holiday weekend had a very enjoyable time.

The Hotel was beautiful inside and out and the service fab. But what I really enjoyed was the Mediterranean bbq and pool side chillout! There were great tunes, tasty food and great jugs of pimms.

The first floor smelt of damp throughout and the fourth of smoke. We couldn't bare to stay here so decided instead to drive... more

After being blown away by the Miami style restaurant and the beautiful reception area we decided to stay in the hotel. Big mistake. We soon realised that all the money had been spent downstairs and not on the rooms. The room was decorated in a shoddy fashion with old furniture, random pictures that didn't seem to fit in . Mould... more
