Guest Reviews
Schöne und helle riesige Suite direkt am Sandstrand. Mit eigenem Jacuzzi, was für unsere Tochter das absolute Highlight war. Oli vom Team war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Top. 👍🏻
Das Wetter. Es regnete. 😉
Huge suite which was well done. Small deck/patio overlooking the beach was semiprivate and great. Sundeck and hot tub were nice. Service was excellent. Restaurant was very good but brought my rating down a notch. Beach club restaurant was nicely casual with lots of dogs which brought their owners. We like Carbis Bay.
From initial welcome from Jamie-Leigh on reception all the staff were so polite, cheerful and helpful.
We had a wonderful stay, bed extremely comfortable, room spotless and breakfast was tasty and well presented
enjoyable evening meal in the Orangery to celebrate our anniversary, many thanks for our card
The only slight issue was the occassional noise from the plumbing( I think) , maybe this is to be expected in an older type of building
This did not spoil our stay and we would love to return in the future
Another wonderful stay at the beautiful Carbis Bay Hotel and once again it completely lived up to everything we love about this special place.
We stayed in Junior Suite 7 which was absolutely amazing — spacious, comfortable, spotlessly clean and with stunning views that make it so hard to leave. Waking up to the sea each morning is just magical.
From relaxing spa treatments, peaceful walks and refreshing sea swims, to simply sitting and taking in the breathtaking surroundings, every part of our stay felt special and restorative.
A very special mention must go to Sam, who is such a gentleman and a real credit to the hotel. Nothing is ever too much trouble and he always makes us feel genuinely valued and welcome. Receptionist Jamie-Lee was also fantastic and always makes sure our room is exactly to our liking, which is such a thoughtful touch and very much appreciated. Sadly we didn’t get to see as much of her this trip, but her care and attention certainly didn’t go unnoticed.
Our two meals at the Gannet Inn were absolutely excellent. The staff were amazing — attentive, friendly and they created such a lovely atmosphere. The food was beautifully presented and every meal felt like a real treat.
It’s the people, alongside the beautiful location, that keep bringing us back time and time again. We truly love this hotel and already can’t wait for our next visit. Highly recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What an amazing stay at Carbis Bay Hotel. A truly 5 Star experience.
It was so good we extended our 4 nights into 5!
A special mention to Troy who sorted out my booking into the main hotel when I realised I had booked The Cabin, a 5 minute drive away. He also sorted out our additional night's stay and taxis to The Gannet where we had 2 excellent meals with some of the best service I have experienced.
Even the weather was amazing which just added to a wonderful week.
Thank you, we will definitely be back!
This is the most beautiful location. Right on the beach front. Absolutely gorgeous views and sunsets. Incredibly clean beach and in my opinion the best beach in Cornwall. With lovely restaurants, shops for all your beach needs, a lovely little ice cream stall and if you want to learn how to surf they even have classes you can book on.
The hotel is outstanding. The staff are so lovely and go out of their way to ensure your stay is perfect. Troy and Sam go above and beyond every time we stay. We visit every 12/15 weeks and wouldn’t stay anywhere else. You can’t beat this hotel.
The beach house we stayed in was out of this world. We stayed in number 7. The pictures speak for themselves. Everything was sparkling clean and the beds were incredibly comfortable. We loved to leave the windows open at night so that we could listen to the sounds of the waves, so relaxing. We also saw some seals!
The spa is gorgeous and looks right out onto the ocean. The cocktails are out of this world.
Thanks to all the team at Carbis Bay where we celebrated our daughters wedding.
We loved staying in the beachside lodges, a stunning setting, where Sam and concierge team looked after our every need. Thank you.
Booked afternoon tea for my partners birthday, very disappointed, the sandwiches were bland and tasteless, the scones were hard and dry, cinnamon buns without any cinnamon, the cakes were forgettable. Very disappointed from a hotel of this supposed standard.
“For 13 years, Carbis Bay Hotel & Spa has been our cherished retreat. We started coming as a couple and now return with our kids—and even our family dog. We visit once or twice a year, whether in summer or during the peaceful spring or winter. From the moment we arrive, Leslie and the team make us feel at home. The beach is just steps away—perfect for the kids—while I can relax or get some work done. With stunning coastal walks, scenic views, a variety of options—hotel rooms, cottages, beach houses—and fantastic restaurants, this beautiful resort offers something for everyone. We can’t wait to return
Stayed here for the weekend with my husband and kids. One of the maintenance workers was smoking weed outside, not a good experience!!
I booked an overnight stay at the hotel with my daughter. We both had a full body massage in the spa. We also used the pool and sauna as well as the gym.
The bedroom was well appointed, comfortable and with a great view of the beach.
We had cocktails before dinner and then ate at Walter’s on the Beach. Breakfast was in the main restaurant and was really good.
All the staff we met were great and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
We had a lovely weekend here, we stayed in a deluxe room in the main hotel. The room was spacious, plenty of storage & a lovely modern bathroom with a walk in rainforest style shower. We had a juliett balcony & were really glad of this as the room was warm & it was great to have the door open all night. Staff were all friendly, the spa was great & the views of the beach were superb. We were lucky to have such beautiful weather too. The beach is stunning, the costal walk to St Ives was really enjoyable & the breakfast was delicious. We would definitely come back. My only moan would be we would prefer a bigger bed but this would not prevent our return. See you next year Carbis Bay x
Lovely setting. Nice pool. Extensive grounds. Good food and lovely staff. Well priced too.
My partner and I booked here to celebrate our 10 year anniversary and I don’t know where to start!
From the assistance on the phone and emails from various staff on making sure we were fully ready for our stay.
Upon arrival we had a great experience with Ilma at reception who could not do enough to help us and made our occasion just feel special, even leaving us a congratulatory card in our room upon arrival.
We loved the spa and everything about the hotel, the views are just incredible with some of the best food and drink venues I have come across on the doorstep.
As I have said the location, staff and service we received here made our celebration so special and we cannot thank everyone involved enough for this, we shall return!
Sadly Carbis Bay Xmas 2025 was not all it was cracked up to be, in fact, from our experience we've stayed in better Premier Inns. The hotel was cold, there was no heating in the public rooms or initially in our bedroom, we had to ask twice for it to be put on. The only heat we had was from the empty fridge that was in a cupboard! Considering the cost for 4 nights stay (Xmas package 3 nights plus 1 extra night OVER £2.5k) Xmas was a complete let down. There was no entertainment other than a pianonist who played the same tunes for a short time every evening, and there was no bar where you could sit in comfort, have a drink and meet other people or a nice warm lounge with a roaring log fire. Christmas Day early evening there was a buffet which was very nice and made up for Xmas lunch that was served plated and only luke warm so had to be sent back, and this was just the tip of the iceburg.
When we arrived we were given an upgrade, not sure why except it meant walking up 3 flights of stairs with luggage and no offer of help and no lift. Our room overlooked the car park, the old windows rattled 95% of the time and let in the very cold air.
When we checked out they even had the cheek to add a service charge on everything! Some of the staff we wouldn't give the steam off our coffee (not that there ever was any) let alone a tip, other than to be more friendly and helpful, and this is just the tip of the iceburg. Would we recommend Carbis Bay Hotel, absolutely not, would we go again, absolutely not, is it a 5 star hotel, absolutely not.
The spa facilities and the views
Our room was a 15 minute walk from the main hotel and it wasn’t clean.
We managed to get a really good rate for the room with a 50% deal, we had a Junior Suite with a Sea View and were fortunate enough to have a double balcony also which given the sunny weather was a great bonus.
Id had a few dealings with staff at the reception prior to our check in day and they were superb and couldn't do more for us to help. This service continued when we arrived, in fact it continued throughout our stay, superb service throughout.
The room itself was a good size although the balcony area was a bit tired, possibly as we've just gone through winter and I imagine they take a battering in bad weather. Possibly they get tidied up before the summer arrivals.
Room had an espresso machine, some instructions would've been helpful. It had a fridge, although it was empty, a nice touch could have been to have some local drinks in, other hotels in the area do this and is a nice touch. There was a kettle and tea, coffee, hot chocolate but sadly no biscuits, again such a small gesture that's always nice and warmly received in other hotels.
Bathroom was big and bright, was mostly clean although attention needed to be paid to the shower head, a build up of dust that should have been cleaned, however it wasn't a big issue for us.
There was a tablet in the room to look at hotel facilities, room service etc however frustratingly it didn't stay powered on for long once taken away from the holder, probably due an upgrade.
Breakfast was superb, pick 2 courses from the menu and all locally sourced ingredients which was great to see and cooked to perfection 👌
The one thing to look out for which is nothing the hotel can change is theres a lot of steps and the hill down to the hotel from the station is very very steep so be prepared!
Overall a good stay, but glad we had a 50 % discount as for the full price id expect everything to be spot on.
We have had s glorious 4 night break over Easter in Carbis Bay hotel and Spa. This hotel is not only beautiful and serene but the staff who work here are first class and very attentive. The food is beautiful and the atmosphere in all the restaurants is fantastic.
We found the staff made our stay a Five star plus experience. A special thanks to Nicole, Troy, Alex, Jamie Lee and all the very friendly team who looked after us with so much care.
Our children loved the kids club activities and loved looking at books in the library, playing games and enjoying their swim time in the pool.
The Carbis bay spa is beautiful. The treatment I had was one of the best. Thank you Jayda for taking care of me so well.
Thank you all.
