Had to move rooms as ours was on the 3rd floor and we could hear noise from the pipes. The hotel is a bit tired in parts. A bit too SAGA holiday for us but generally our stay was pleasant. ##### Yvonne Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Johanne Apr 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service It a great location when weather is good. ##### Johanne Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Megan Aug 21, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities This was our 8th stay at SandbankHotel and hope to return in late summer we no longer go abroad the hotel i situated on the beach food in restaurant fabulous maybe little pricey drinks definitely overpriced but as we only have 3 each per night not a problem fantastic walks on the beach roof top food available plenty seating of all types including subbed All stall great pleasant polite and professional ![My favourite have had cancan made of this one ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/276d45e5-dbd9-4525-b69b-165a2cfee2d5-1755790233813.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![View from our balcony ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ed668845-91af-4e34-a0ea-cd07d4a28208-1755790234270.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![from balcony ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/da2fc6d1-676f-48f6-877e-a46ccd0c5cbe-1755790235376.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/157073c0-62e8-4374-a9dc-9483159b8036-1755790236050.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Megan Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Demetrakis James Jul 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service We Loved the hotel it was clean tidy and very nice i think complimentary water in the room was missing whilst the hotel we lovely i do feel it looked very tired bur 100% we will go back ##### Demetrakis James Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pam Oct 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This hotel is located in an amazing location with Poole Harbour to one side and the sea to the other, both accessible from the hotel. The staff are polite and professional. The housekeeping is impressive. Although the building is looking a little tired, the ambience, staff members and service make up for it. Breakfast is as expected with variety on offer to cater to most dietary requirements. The dining/eating area could be made a little more attractive as the layout seems rather formal. However, the friendliness of the staff makes up for this. I’d definitely stay again. ##### Pam Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Mark Sep 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities This hotel only really has the staff (who are all lovely) and the beach going for it. The hotel is very tired and in desperate need of some money spending on it. No wonder non of the other guests were friendly or made any attempt to smile! ##### Mark Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Janice May 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Weekend by the sea Super spot by the beach and very helpful friendly staff.

This hotel is right on the beach, so suited our needs perfectly, We were given a lovely room overlooking the sea & right next to the lift (which made things easier for my mobility issues) The staff were most welcoming & friendly.

View from the room was beautiful. We had a sea view and could see the sun rise from our bed. Breakfast in the restaurant was very nice with plenty of choice. We used the restaurant in the hotel which was an Italian. Although a little pricey, it was very nice. Room was cleaned daily and tea/coffee and biscuits replenished daily. We didn’t use the pool as it opened at 9:00 and we wanted an earlier swim. We were offered use of their sister hotel but didn’t use that. Not far from attractions such as Compton Acres and Poole Harbour for the ferry to Brownsea. All staff were friendly. I’d highly recommend and would definitely visit again. ##### Linda Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jane Apr 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely view of the beach from our room. ##### Jane Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Royal Whitby](https://www.expedia.ca/Whitby-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h57917040.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [Burgh Island Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingsbridge-Hotels-Burgh-Island-Hotel.h34611055.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Hull Marina by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Hull-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Hull-Marina.h10609.Hotel-Information) > > [The Greenway Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Greenway-Hotel-Spa.h520203.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Glengarry Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Glasgow-Hotels-Best-Western-Glengarry-Hotel.h6213.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Heathrow Windsor](https://www.expedia.ca/Slough-Hotels-Heathrow-Windsor-Marriott-Hotel.h3830.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Manchester-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Manchester-City-Centre.h2601411.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Barrhaven](https://www.expedia.ca/Barrhaven-Ottawa-Hotels.0-n553248635976007688-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Porch House](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Porch-House.h4595892.Hotel-Information) > > [The Belfry](https://www.expedia.ca/Birmingham-Hotels-The-Belfry.h3976.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.ca/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn London-Gatwick Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Horley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-London-Gatwick-Airport.h16918.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Banff National Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff-National-Park-Hotels.0-l602291-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Crazy Creek Resort & Hot Pools](https://www.expedia.ca/Malakwa-Hotels-Crazy-Creek-Resort-Hot-Pools.h12934433.Hotel-Information) > > [Millcroft](https://www.expedia.ca/Penrith-Hotels-Millcroft.h26994538.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Turks and Caicos](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Turks-And-Caicos-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d184-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) ### Flights > [Flights from Bang Phli (BKK) to Tuban (DPS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/bkk/dps/bangkok-to-denpasar) > > [Flights from Richmond (YVR) to Dorval (YUL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/yul/vancouver-to-montreal) > > [Flights from Richmond (YVR) to Parañaque (MNL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/mnl/vancouver-to-manila) > > [Flights from Edmonton International Airport (YEG) to Asmara (ASM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/asm/edmonton-to-asmara) ### Packages > [Japan Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Japan.d89.Destination-Travel-Guides)
