Powered by AI
The Esplanade Hotel enjoys a fantastic location across from Fistral Beach, making it ideal for surfing and coastal walks. Families particularly appreciate the amenities, including a soft play area next to the dining room, an indoor pool with a hot tub and sauna, and a mini-cinema showing kids' films; also, some found that parking could be limited. Many rooms offer lovely sea views, and guests found the in-room hospitality tray with Cornish treats a nice touch, adding to a clean, cosy, and calming atmosphere.

adequate hotel stay

mini fridgecolouring areaair conditioningpoor ventilation
The room was clean, it included a mini fridge with water provided. the reception had board games and a colouring area for children. I found this excellent.
The lack of air conditioning. travelling with a dog, i wasn't allowed in the main dining area and was restricted to the front lounge. It was a stuffy space with poor ventilation and awkward seating. it seemed like a greenhouse, it was difficult to enjoy meals, and my dog began hyperventilating from the heat.
