Excellent stay. Room clean and comfortable. Staff very friendly and helpful. Excellent value for money.

This was during the air show and a great emphasis was placed on the corporate hospitality/ private function visitors to the detriment of other guests. My husband waited, along with others for over 25 mins at the bar whilst the corporate guests were served. No bar meals only sandwiches, not told about this in advance unlike parking/road closure arrangements. This would have enabled us to make alternative arrangements for our evening meal on Friday. On previous occasions our daughter and son in law have come to the hotel for excellent bar meals a great disappointment that they had been cancelled, would have been helpful if a message had been sent along with the parking message. Overall a lack of sufficient staff in the circumstances, all were visibly under duress and did their best in difficult circumstances.

We booked to stay for the air show. Prior to me booking the Suncliffe i called them directly to check that we were able to use the outside pools at their adjoining hotels (both part of the Oceana group) i was reassured that we would be able to make use of all the facilities so i booked. However when we arrived we were told we were not able to use the outdoor pools, we weren't able to sit out on the hotels terrace to enjoy the airshow, we couldn't use the pub in the hotel and if we wanted to eat there we had to pre order at reception and eat in the basement restaurant. We were really excited for our stay but the above put a dampner on our time there and will not come back to this hotel again.

Great day great staff and really enjoyed the stay and the room,special mention to sale who went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay ,only downside the staff at reception aren’t very welcoming ,I get they are busy but they are the gateway to the hotel and were polite enough but didn’t really interact or make you feel important whereas bar staff and other staff around the hotel were super friendly and made you feel welcomed.even the catering manager made a point of saying hello.reception only interacted when you approached them but you felt more like you were a distraction from what they were doing rather than a guest

Me and my son enjoyed our stay. The staff were amazing, the pool and breakfast was great as well.

Breakfast wasn’t the best and the windows needs a good clean. Overall you get what you pay for.

The hotel is clean and tidy but rather tired. It seems very impersonal and not very organised. I think they have just changed the system and are trying to get to grips with it but there is a definite staff shortage. There is only one barman and he has to also serve the food in the bar so queues form at peak times. It needs to be more welcoming and more information given as you have to keep going and asking.

Dirty sheets…so noisy. Small rooms.

It was my mothers 80th! Terrible service, room was so dated. Black ground in bathroom. Shower did not work. Our whole view was a generator blocking our window with a pigeon nesting rest outside our window.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Was a long walk to the beach. Could use next door hotel ( part of the chain) outside pool which was good as weather was hot for some of our stay. Could use Suncliff indoor pool but was very busy. Breakfast okay.. hot and cold choices. Rooms clean and beds comfortable. Unfortunately children staying there were allowed to run around at night and bang on peoples doors.. Did report it to reception.

The outside tables and chairs needed and decking needs a complete revamp.bedroom could do with having a small fridge and air con .

Our stay was good. We used the indoor pool for most of our stay, the swimming pool room was warm but the pool was really cold. Took a while to adjust to the temperature but even that we were shivering still. The bar area was nice, spacious and comfortable. The beach was near by, as well as walking to the high street if we needed more snacks for the room.

My single room was a little better than I had last year ,the bathroom was much better and the bed and furniture are ok. It really needs new windows and carpet and decorating, as does much of the hotel. The food was ok but we only ate there once as the beer was undrinkable. I took first pint back which they replaced without fuss ,from a different pump but not much better. I tried a different beer but left it after a mouthful .perhaps the lagers are better ? we ate and drank elsewhere after that. The pool is ok but an odd shape but still ok.
