I stayed at the hotel for six nights recently and had a lovely stay. My room was comfortable and clean and I had everything I needed (coffee and tea facilities and ironing board etc). The room was at the front of the hotel, so there was a little noise from the main road but generally, that quietened by around 10pm and wasn’t an issue for me. My bed was super comfy and I slept well ! All the staff I came in contact with were very polite and friendly, especially the Manager Vince, who always had time to chat and catch up on what I’d done during my day. The staff were very helpful when I had an unexpected extra day, due to a cancelled flight ! I stayed on a bed and breakfast basis and couldn’t fault the choice of hot and cold food on offer - I wasn’t aiming to have a cooked breakfast every day but I did ! I originally picked the hotel because it had a swimming pool but unfortunately, I didn’t actually use it because I spent most of my time sightseeing, but I did sit around the pool on a couple of occasions and it was nice . The hotel is in Grouville, to the east of the island and it is in a peaceful part of the island. The local Pembroke Pub served amazing food ! I used the Liberty buses to get around the island and had a seven day visitor pass, which cost £35 for unlimited use . Places to visit - St Brelade’s Bay, St Aubins bay, Jersey War Tunnels, Jersey Zoo, Elisabeth Castle and more ! St Helier was a busy and lovely capital . All in all a lovely stay and I was made to feel very welcome. I would be happy to go back to the Beachcombers hotel as it was good value for money and the staff were lovely !

The location of this hotel suited us very well, as we didn't want the busy hustle & bustle of St. Helier. The staff were all brilliant, Vince the general manager was most helpful. A special mention for Aaron in reception, who was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Nina in the dining room was an absolute dream, so bubbly, kind and helpful, as was Keanu. In fact all the staff should be awarded 5 stars. The food was excellent, and we had the option of evening meals, which we did occasionally. All in all, a great holiday holiday experience and we will.most likely return next year.

“Serendipity! ...exactly what we wanted!”

I will start off this review by reminding the reader this is rated as a 3 star hotel. It has no pretensions to be otherwise, and what is provided is commensurate with the very good price of staying there. In short- you get what you pay for! So it was with that in mind that we arrived at Beachcombe… more

I will start off this review by reminding the reader this is rated as a 3 star hotel. It has no pretensions to be otherwise, and what is provided is commensurate with the very good price of staying there. In short- you get what you pay for! So it was with that in mind that we arrived at Beachcombers and were very pleasantly surprised that in fact it was much better than our tempered expectations. First of all, its location...we were a group of 4, all in our 60s, so the presentation in a semi rural surroundings suited us perfectly! Beautifully quiet, serene and restful. Its within spitting distance of the marina of Gorey...a wonderfully quiet bay which has brilliant restaurants around it . We went to the Dolphin restaurant- and can thoroughly recommend it on all counts btw! That eastern side of the island does look more like suitable for those of a quiet or elderly disposition and preference....having travelled to the superb St Brelades Bay and neighbouring St Aubin Bay, there is without doubt a busier, touristy, noisier feeling about it.- especially noticeable for the number of children there whilst there was hardly any in Gorey. Absolutely beautiful and perfect place if you have young ones to entertain. I am a disabled person and had emailed the hotel prior to my arrival and they had allocated us a room on the ground floor...a huge family room with 4 beds as it happened!- but clearly this suited my disability as there is no lift and only stairs to the upper rooms. The first impression was that it smelled clean, looked clean and was very habitable indeed. No doubt others on here will have grumbled about minor defects and faults, and yes we found a few- but none that would encourage me to even detail them as essentially we were very happy with the room-again, bearing in mind its a 3 star!!! What it may have fell short of in the rooms was more than made up for with other things-namely the wonderful staff. Always smiling, cant do enough for you and seemingly happy in the jobs. From the cleaner (who gave my wife hugs!) to Olive on the reception desk, to Keano, the amazing barman who kept us well entertained with his tales and laughter when enjoying the small bar area. On our day of departure we enquired if we could have as late a departure as possible (due to my back pain and having to wait another 7 hours til our plane left) And Olive checked with the cleaners who said that whilst the room WAS needed for a takeover that afternoon, they could manage say 1pm- an extension of 2 hours. I was most impressed by their kindness and sympathy and would not even take money for it. Not only that but she offered to make me a comfy mattress up on the library sofa where I could stay until ready. Bless her! One of our days was hot and sunny and how lovely was it around that small pool area! Few people there and still lovely and quiet. Apart that is, from the 3 resident cockerels who strut around casually crowing now and then to let us know of their presence..lol...we thought they were a very endearing touch that added to the semi French feel. We ate in the hotel on our arrival date- very good food, no complaints there.They grow there own vegetables in a patch behind the tennis court. But of special note I think is the marvellous selection at breakfast! Oh my! They extend beyond their rating on this for sure! So much more I could write about from this wonderful 4 day break...our first visit to Jersey and we fell in love with it on day 1. We were enthralled enough with it to KNOW that we will return one day....and you know what?? We would certainly choose this hotel above others even despite its minor shortcomings! That in itself should be a recommendation surely??!
