Room was very clean and modern. Staff were courteous and friendly.
Absolutely fantastic half term family holiday!
We returned to The Esplanade Hotel again and wow it's still so wonderful, perched on the golden sands of Fistral, the beach certainly is your playground!
From the moment we arrived to when we sadly had to leave everything was perfect - spotlessly clean throughout, great swimming pool, delicious food to include a highly recommended afternoon tea, wonderfully furnished bedrooms with beautiful sea views and the highlight being outstanding service from each and every member of staff!
Every aspect of this hotel is geared up for the family with great children's entertainment every day.
The manager Claudia certainly knows how to run a hotel with her brilliant team, thank you! Her attention to detail is marvellous, it's the little touches!
We will be back, again!
Staff were good room was clean amazing view of fistral beach was amazing from family sea view room
Only let down was no hot water for shower on day of leaving
