"Staff was friendly, room size was big for our family and swimming was a hit with the kids. Location was good as beach 5 mins away but you have to go down steep steps. Pier was 10-15 mins away"

Bournemouth Highcliff Marriott Hotel

Bournemouth Highcliff Marriott Hotel

8/10 Good
"Good stay overall, but the hotel didn’t quite have the level of grandeur we expected from a Marriott. We booked two rooms and appreciated being given adjacent ones on the first night. The rooms looked good in terms of listed square footage, but the proportions were awkward and made parts of the space hard to use. The air‑conditioning also didn’t work. Later that night, we were moved to interconnecting rooms with working air‑con, which made a noticeable difference. The pool has great views, but despite being advertised as heated, the water felt cold and appeared to more reliant on sunlight than a heating system. It warmed up as the day progressed. After swimming, my eyes were irritated for several hours, which raised concerns about the chemicals used. A pleasant stay overall, but several details fell short of what we’d expect from a Marriott‑branded property. "

Bonus! We used it every day. Only eaten once in restaurant and Happy hour at the Bar, well happy 3 hours! 4-7. Would definitely visit again."
