Great sea view

Review of Carlton Beach
4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 13 Jul 2024
We've just spent 4 nights here in a front sea view room with balcony overlooking the beach. Furniture on the balcony, including an ashtray which as smokers we appreciated. Room was very clean, bed including pillows very comfortable. Room fair size for two. Comfy armchair and a bench with cushions. Bathroom very clean and adequate size. Good range of toiletries provided. Minor point - I'm only 1.5m tall and found the soap and body lotion were mounted too high on the wall to be comfortable. All staff cheerful and helpful. Good breakfast selection including freshly cooked waffles and pancakes. Lifts were only a minor issue for us (although returning at midnight to be told both were out of order - our room was on the 4th floor, wasn't great) but if the hotel is full I can see it would be a major problem. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend.

Room was very nice, quiet and clean. Beautiful view of the sea.
Front desk staff, not so friendly. Not sure why but I was in line at least 5 min while one staff member stood there doing nothing. No eye contact. A couple went in front of me and all of a sudden she knows how to serve. Very strange. Saw her later by the pool and got offered a very sarcastic "have a nice day"

I’m giving this hotel a 5 simply because the good, for us, outweighed the bad. But it isn’t perfect and you might be put off because of the architecture. On the other hand you might find the negatives a real problem. So I’m going to try and be really fair.

The good:

The staff all without exception happy and helpful

The restaurant has a small but well cooked menu. We particularly liked the chef on 28&29 April

It was really worth paying extra for the sea view

Comfortable beds and room but see below

There is a spa but we didn’t use it

Great for bus and trams

Great for beach and facilities

Very clean

There’s a car park for those that need it

Right by dunes for walks

The bad

I did not like the bathroom saloon doors and the bathroom was tiny. 2 people could not be in there at once.

There’s no lift to the spa/pool

The lifts! Oh my days. 2 for the entire huge hotel. And 1 is definitely a problem and was out of action for 24 hrs. The doors take ages to close. This could be a frustration for people with pram/wheelchair

The pool is tiny and really not good for swimmers (children playing and adults standing in the water talking). I could do the entire length in 5 strokes to give you an idea! But would be great for kids because it is so small!

Choice of sea view and of bed should be added (and if there is no availability then the customer can make a better decision).
I booked a room category for these reasons, paying much more and in the end I got a back view room with a twin bed that has a considerable gap between the two sides. As this was a romantic weekend away, our expectations and plans did not materialise with the booking.
Also the check in time is too long.
You also use unnecessary administration that I believe load the employees and become slower. Automated emails with coupons, entry passes to the health club, etc. Would make both our lives much simpler…

Room tip: Ask for a specific room by phone rather than book via their website. Prepare for check in queues during weekend.

Stumbled upon this hotel when an accommodation fell through-how charming! A true treasure at the beach. Comfortable rooms, sweet, helpful and welcoming desk staff, courteous room staff.

Don’t be fooled by the on premise restaurant menu- they may not list pages but that’s only because they don’t have to. Each dish I’ve ordered is a flavorful surprise.

And the desserts aren’t to be passed over-perhaps the descriptions could be better but the one I remember most should be called Berries in Snow- a delightful combination of white chocolate vanilla ice cream medallions atop a valley of berries. -hats off to the chef.

Room tip: A winter visit is anything but dreary.
