St Brelades Bay Hotel

This hotel is hard to fault. The most amazing location with beautiful gardens, lovely pool area, poolside cafe and a beach to die for. There are cafes and restaurants just a short walk away but the hotel food was so good and well priced we dined every night in the hotel. Rooms are great, staff were great and the general feel about the place made us feel right at home.

Upon our arrival we were greeted by Stephen (the head porter), our bags were taken from us and we were offered a chilled glass of orange juice whilst we were checked in. We made our way up to our room (86 - sea view balcony) and our bags were only a minute or two behind us. Our room was just large enough, the king-sized bed was really comfortable, the bathroom was fab, and the balcony had the best view of St Brelade's bay just over the road. We walked on the beach and then swam in the sea or outdoor pool every morning, the pool opened at 8:00 and had towels and adjoining changing facilities. The gym/indoor pool opened at 6:00, and whilst it was all fab we preferred being outdoors. Breakfast was spot on, we had a great self-service choice and could also order from a good selection - I ordered omelettes and vegetarian sausages most mornings. The waiting staff were among the most professional I've ever met (Hilary was our favourite - he was always smiling) and our greeter Leo was just the nicest chap ever (he's worked there for sixty years...). We only ate dinner in the hotel once, as there is a great selection of restaurants within easy walking distance, and it was excellent - but a couple of vegan, and a few more vegetarian dishes, would be a great addition. As with most top hotels it's the amazing staff that make it such a great place (nothing was too much trouble for them and it was obvious that they all love what they do), along with the top location obviously. The service is professional, whilst the whole place has such a relaxed atmosphere - no need to wear long trousers and a tie for dining if you don't want to. It appears that most of the guests are regulars and I can fully understand why, we are already considering a return trip.

Amazing hotel, with stunning views across the bay. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Great outdoor pool, and the hotel is also linked to a very well appointed gym and indoor pool. The food is good, although not out of this world, but the fish is fresh and cooked perfectly. This was one of the best holidays we've had in a while and we will return.
