Having had one of the worst hotel experiences of my life (not at the Watergate Bay). I came here straight afterward and had the best time. I found the staff soooo helpful the sea view room delightful and just the general vibe was perfect for me, my bump, my husband and our dog. Cannot recommend this place enough! More

Watergate Bay Hotel is a fabulous place to stay for a relaxing break away. Staff are very friendly and provide a great service. We only ate breakfast in the hotel as we had booked into Fifteen for the evening meal; but breakfast was really very good - buffet style but plenty of it and good quality. Our room was clean... More

We were very impressed on arrival with the friendly staff that a disabled space had been reserved in the carpark coned off with our name on it and the staff carried our bags to the Better rate room which was on the 3rd floor accessed by a lift, commanding a lovely view over the bay with a small balcony table...

Superb setting and an amazing hotel! The room really surpassed my expectations and the sea view topped it off. The staff were really friendly and the atmosphere was really relaxed and a pleasure. Looking forward to going back. Brasserie ... 5* food - don't miss! More

We've stayed here countless times, we use it as a couples getaway (leaving the children at home) Usually we book via the 'Taste of the Bay' offer. Our rooms have been fabulous, comfortable and clean with free wi-fi. The dining options are great too, La Brasserie, Fifteen and the Beach Hut, we've never had a bad dining experience in any... More

We have just returned from our stay and had a lovely stay. We were quickly upgraded to a partial ocean view room when we asked if there was a better room to stay in (as our original room overlooked the car park!) - this was done in a very fuss free manner. The room we stayed in (room 123) was... More

we went to stay for 6 days at the start of april with our 3 year old son. We went for a family suite so our son could have his own room and we would be free to talk/watch tv etc without disturbing him. We had never stayed at the hotel before, and it was a bit of a treat... More

Amazing hotel and environment, family friendly (dogs included) the food in the Brasserie is amazing, and almost as good as fifteen just a minutes walk away, the bar area is über comfortable and with a great selection of drinks and stunning views you will just want to send hours in there! The new pool and spa should be finished soon,... More
