The property was very expensive for the price, I expected at 4 star and have received better facilities in a 3 star. The room had a desk top fan, a dirty broken kettle and the bathroom looked like it had seen better days (20 years ago!) the building needs some tlc and attention, and the gate access to the swimming pool and beach really needs to be changed as the the doors would not open. The staff were nice and I did not complain as I was there for 1 night. I’ve spent less in the Maldives for 5 star facilities!

I love the location of this hotel, very special. The staff were friendly & helpful, but it seemed they were a little overwhelmed, not enough of them in. Also the bar ran out of some stocks of pineapple juice & limes used in some of the cocktails, that shouldn't happen.

Anniversary trip
Our 40th wedding anniversary and they made special effort with lovely petals on bed and towels in heart shapes. Staff very friendly apart from the evening when the man in charge of booking dinner was obnoxious and rude and not apologetic in any way about the fact he couldn’t fit us in. We were told when getting the menu there was no need to book if we wanted to eat in bar area. It wasn’t so much what he said but his attitude. It then cost us taxi into Poole and back £40 to get a meal as we had already had anniversary pre dinner drinks at the hotel. It all out a bit of a damper on the occasion.

Traditional style hotel with amazing views particularly from our room with a large balcony and views of the harbour and its islands. A hotel which we understand may be gone in a few years making way for a new development which will be a shame but with land prices in this vicinity what else would you expect, polite staff, clean and comfortable room although I’m not a fan of over bath showers but it did its job ! Breakfast very good with plenty to choose from, continental or a full English with everything in between. Would I stay again, yes I would, enough said !

Nice hotel in a prime location on the entrance of Poole harbour. It’s a little old fashioned and some areas feel like they’ve added to the building but not really thought about it like the access to spa is through the dining room. Rooms are nice but shower wasn’t very powerful. Food was good with really nice breakfast. Good for a short stay or weekend break

Haven Hotel - an precious icon.
This is an iconic hotel and should be visited. It is expensive for an out-of-town hotel but the location and breakfast make it worth the extra bucks. Staff were helful and usually have a smile for you. Our bedroom was generous and we had a wonderful view of the entrance to Poole harbour with an ever changing vista.The lounges and dining room also share that vista. Only two criticisms - the showers in the spa are dreadful and the evening service in the restaurant is slow. There are some external areas that look a bit tired but when you consider that the owners are planning to demolish the hotel to make way for 196 apartments it is not too surprising.- this would be a travesty and a destruction of Poole/Sandbanks heritage. Make sure you visit before this happens.
