Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Arniston Spa Hotel is appreciated for its stunning location right on the beach, with some guests even spotting whales from their spacious, well-equipped rooms, especially those with sea views. Breakfast is consistently mentioned as excellent, with a wide variety of options. While a few guests have found some aspects of the hotel a bit dated, many adore the special touches like the coffee station and sherry in the rooms, also, the pool is a highlight for many.

Fantastic Coastal Getaway

spacious roomocean viewsfantastic locationcoastal walks
The room was spacious and had excellent views of the ocean (it really made my morning!). The hotel location is fantastic, placing you right on the beach, a perfect spot for coastal walks.
I noticed a small maintenance issue, a minor paint crack in the bathroom, though it did not affect my overall experience.
