Travelled with Robinsons, everything was excellent from boarding the coach to returning 5 days later. The driver David kept us all informed throughout the journey and his knowledge of the island and its history during the 2 excursions was first class. The hotel staff were brilliant from the moment we arrived to departure, they were all without exception, immaculately dressed,... More

Having just returned from an 8 day stay at the Ocean View Hotel Shanklin 4th -11th December Whilst there I found out the Ocean View hotel Shanklin had been closed prior to our holiday of 4-11th December as there were issues relating to hygiene and that a deep clean had to take place before it could be reopened.

The hotel is in a beautiful position, and we were lucky enough to have a room with a spectacular sea view and its own patio. I could have happily sat there watching the ships sail by all day long! The food and service were excellent, and special thanks to Vanya for looking after us so well! The room was very... More

Rooms very spacious, clean, but a bit dated furniture wise. TV's need updating and quick, it is the switchover very soon !! Food not bad but not enough of it, also did not like the fact we were "herded" in and then out again in the dining room in the hour, waiters "hovering" over you all the time to clear... More

Stayed for a week doing RYA Yachtmaster theory with Sapphire Yachting, an excellent course. The hotels core business is coach parties but everything is clean, efficient and very well run. The rooms have lovely views across the bay and are of a good size. Staff are very friendly and nothing is ever too much trouble. Food is simple but good... More

We could not really fault the hotel, food and rooms. The staff were very good too, on reception and in the dining room. The entertainment was good, though the entertainment lounge was not always very full. Lots of oldies went to bed early. We were always the last to leave! We enjoyed the trips very much but would have liked... More
