Beachcombers Hotel

My husband and I have just returned from a 6 day stay at the Beachcombers hotel. The hotel is situated about 3 miles up the coast from St Helier - don't let this distance put you off as the bus system in Jersey is brilliant - one bus passed the hotel entrance with another just a 5 min walk. It was in a quiet location which suited us fine. From start to finish we received some of the best hotel hospitality we have experienced. Our room was beautiful and spacious (we were upgraded as it was a quiet week). Manager Vince and Martina were charming throughout and both went the extra mile to ensure we were well cared for during our stay, giving us walking tips, advice about travelling around the island and the best local places to eat evening meals. (the hotel did not provide evening meals as it was low season) Breakfasts created by the chef Henry were indeed a work of art and trust me - you will not go hungry!!! There is a local well stocked Co-op store a few minutes walk away if you need to stock up on snacks for day trips. The walk to Gorey Pier (where you will find a number of restaurants) is about a 35 min walk or a short bus ride. It is perhaps worth knowing that after dark a torch for visibility is helpful although there is a safe pedestrian pavement most of the way. All in all it was an absolute pleasure to stay here. It was like staying with family and so lovely to come "home" each night after a day of exploring. I would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel.

Lovely big room with excellent facilities. Charming staff and an great breakfast. Made the trip a pleasure. A short walk from the beach a lovely local pub. Perfectly placed for Gorey and St Helier. A good sized car park made everything easy.

I have been travelling to Jersey four or five times a year for the last twenty and had been staying at hotel that has now sadly closed. Tried several hotels to use that catered for all my needs while on business and stayed at the Beachcombers last November. The welcome was warm and friendly with attentive and pleasant staff and the food really good with a well cooked and presented evening menu and fantastic buffet breakfast. The room was a good size, clean with a comfortable large bed and powerful shower. Near to Gorey and a short drive into St Helier the hotel met all that I had been looking for and I am staying there again for my first trip of the new year.

The room was very clean and comfortable. Breakfast options were very good. Hot food very good and lovely options. Definitely would stay here again. Car parking good too.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Had a great holiday.

I stayed at this lovely hotel with my family and enjoyed every minute. Beds were comfy and smelled amazing, rooms were made up every day. Breakfast was yummy, loads of choices. Pool was heated outside, girls spent hours swimming. But the best part of this hotel is the staff, they were all so welcoming from the front of the office to the cleaners and dinning room. No job was to small, they were always able to cater if you needed something. We will definitely come back and stay at this hotel. Highly recommend it, great value. Keep up the excellent work.

Ensures bookers know that this hotel does not serve breakfast until 8am. Like many we travelled from Poole on the fast ferry service which means check in by 7am. Money wasted as no early breakfast or food pack for the room was offered. On check in after 3pm room not ready. On last day of our stay went back to use pool at 2pm. Room not done. Advised rooms done for guest who have checked out ready for incoming guests. So why did we have to wait for our room on check in? Eventually at 3.30pm staff knocked on door to service room. Too late did it myself.

Hotel is fine, some issues: There was only one chair in the room. Also, the bed was on wheels that did not lock and moved around a lot, very strange choice. There was a plumbing issue in the building at the time and as a result the shower pressure was so poor it was virtually unusable. The hotel is very secluded, it's a 25 min walk to the beach and further 15 min walk to Gorey or La Rocque, so if you have limited mobility it will be very difficult to access these locations. Relatively frequent buses go to St Helier though and there is a bus stop close by. Beach towels on offer at the hotel cannot be brought to the beach, they are only for use at the pool. However, the pool was closed due to the weather virtually the whole time. Staff was very kind and the breakfast was generous and tasty.

After reading some of the poor reviews before we went all I can say is that the people must have been staying in a different hotel. From our early arrival on the first day we have had nothing but first class service from all staff at the hotel. They really can’t do enough for you and are always happy and smiling. Our room was large and clean and fully equipped with hair dryer, ironing board etc. Breakfast was superb and plentiful. The full english was top class. All in all it helped to make our stay in Jersey A fantastic experience.
