The staff could not have been more helpful and friendly. The rooms were a little small, when we booked we thought we were getting a room similar to the picture on the hotel website. The safes were also small, no room for ipads! The food in the Bay View Restaurant was substandard. Most dishes were over cooked ( I suspect... More

We went to this restaurant for the first time last night. We went into the main hotel lounge when we first got there, and had drinks. We were then taken to the restaurant, which had a lovely atmosphere. Food was lovely, have no complaints. Really enjoyed the evening. Will be going again soon. More

I have been visiting The Carlyon Bay Hotel for approximately 10 years with a gang of golfing buddies and the occasional visit with my family. Over those years I can safely say that of all the hotels I stay in this ranks amongst the best for the genuine relaxed atmosphere created by the management and staff. Nothing is too much... More

Rather than being a review of the hotel, these are thoughts regarding the bar snacks available in the bar area of the Hotel, which is much less formal than the main restaurant and less formal than the other restaurant Taste. We have had bar snacks here several times and find them to be reasonably good value for money given the... More

We went away to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary and we had a lovely relaxing stay. Our room was wonderful and spotless with a great seaview. The service was absolutely brilliant, there was plenty of very friendly and happy staff which was great to see! The food was again wonderful, we dined in the 'Taste' Restaurant on the second night and... More

We had a double inland facing room: the room was beautifully decorated but small. The spa is small given the number of guests (when we were there the hotel was fully booked). The breakfast is an average 4* one (don't expect freshly squeezed juices...) but the buffet was almost empty at 9:30. Also, the tables in front of the sea... More

Went to this hotel on 3 day golf tuition course. You could not fault this hotel, everything was first class. The lounge bar was warm and welcoming and the food in the restaurant excellent, all served by helpful friendly staff, i just could not fault them. The golf on the other hand was not so great, there was too many... More
