Pros:

My husband enjoyed a seafood platter. I love the garden and entertainment/play area for kids and pools. Love the view too. Thoughtful staff where we had our late lunch forgot his name.

Decent room, proce was a bit high.
Pros:

Good room size, nice pool and retro games room. Really enjoyed the stay.

Cons:

Could improve the breakfast selection. But the chosen breakfast extras made up for it.

No AC in the summer for the room. It only had a fan. Needs to improve this to make worth the money. and no slippers....

Pros:

I loved the garden (very whimsical!) and the beautiful cliffside view. Great location (right next to the Chine and old town). The jungle-themed pool was also very nice!

Very good, we will be back
Pros:

All Swimming pool, sauna and facilities very good. Reception lady Kath i think so it was her name, she use to leave Brixton in 70’s that was nice welcome for as my partner been leaving Brixton 27 years

Cons:

All good, part of breakfast can be improve and have different varieties.
As if you dont eat pork, egg, raw salmon.
Maybe can be some sliced cheese, charcuterie (beef, chicken, turkey slices and sardines on the buffet.

Wonderful location, gardens and facilities and staff couldn't do enough for us.
Pros:

Breakfast was wonderful. Varied choice of fruits and pastries. Cooked breakfast was served quickly and was wonderful. I had a different cooked breakfast each morning and each was exceptional. Staff really friendly and efficient. All clean and plates cleared really quicly.
Wonderful view from our room and gardens beautiful.

Cons:

Noisy rooms. We had someone above our room walking up and down and moving things around. This could all be heard really easily. Water noisy when anyone flushed toilets or use the wash basins.

Good. Lovely staff. Superb facilities
Pros:

Staff superb. Facilities excellent. One of the better IoW hotels. Don't expect London chic, but instead, a well-run (all-round) authentic English seaside hotel. I'll certainly be booking again the next time I'm on the IoW

Cons:

The food was good.. but I think a little more creativity/finish/thought could be added to make this a 'destination' hotel.

We had mixed feelings about our stay. On the positive side the location was great. The Seaview was lovely and the staff
Pros:

The location and view.

Cons:

The property is in need of a refresh and is outdated. It has great potential but the decor is tired.

Lovely and relaxing for my partner (who has mobility issues) and me in beautiful surroundings.
Pros:

The view and the garden and the balcony were truly wonderful. The staff were extremely pleasant and helpful, going above and beyond to help my husband when he needed some medical assistance with a cut he got while out and about. Lovely atmosphere generally.

Cons:

Mostly the dinners were great - just one night not so good. A little bit more clarity about how to access the outside pool would be helpful. Parking is a bit tight if you have access issues just getting out of your car, but I can’t see how that can be changed.

Excellent stay did not want to leave
Pros:

Every thing you needed has been provided.
The staff were professional and very friendly and helpful. The restaurant staff were exceptional, I’ve not seen such silver service waiting standards like that for a long time.
The food was lovely both breakfast and evening meals. The gardens are absolutely amazing beautifully manicured and a pleasure to be in, loved listening to the water feature and watching the fish.
Loved the indoor pool and 80’s games room too.

Cons:

The room we were in was up an additional flight of stairs that was very narrow. Just something to mention if someone had mobility issues.
