Cumberland Hotel Oceana Collection

We have just returned from a lovely 5 day holiday at the Cumberland Hotel Bournemouth. The staff were all very attentive, friendly and could not do enough for you. The rooms were very clean on arrival and were cleaned every day. We were half board and the breakfast was plentiful, only negative was that there was not enough fresh fruit. The evening meal was very tasty every night and plenty of choice. There was plenty of gluten free dishes to choose from too. There was two nights with entertainment, which was very good.

Beautiful hotel with stunning views of the sea. We enjoyed our stay. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful. Good options for vegetarians too we enjoyed the tofu and pepper stirfry for breakfast. The service was top class, walking distance to the beach. The only thing which we didn’t like is that the room did not have a mini fridge and also a safe which would have been nice to have considering the fact that it’s a 4 star hotel. The indoor pool was cold. Warm would have been nicer.. Otherwise we were very happy with our stay and will be hopefully visiting again in the future.

From the website photos I thought this hotel look great for a special occasion, however the reality was not. The outside exterior and pool area are in need of a refresh and deep clean. Broken wire fences, decking area needed painting. Downstairs area of hotel decorated art deco, but rooms very much a mix of colour and styles. Bedroom corridors smelt funny and again were a mix of colours and styles, they were also tatty in some places. I personally will not be using this hotel again. Five star prices, but three star facilities.
