We have just returned from a long weekend with National Holidays, the hotel is in need of some TLC but on the positive side the staff were really friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them , special thanks to Mirium and Jamie .Our room was clean and had been decorated and had new shower etc so no complaints...

We went for a midweek break with National Holidays. Having reviewed Trip Advisor before going, we were a little worries about what to expect. As it turna out there was no need to worry. The hotel is exactly what Jamie, the General Manager, keeps saying, a Victorian resort hotel with bags of character. Yes it needs some TLC but this... More

Just returned from a weekend away at the Royal Esplanade Hotel Ryde. Hotel is as people have said, that it is in need of a refurbishment. Considering what you pay with National Holidays it is value for money, our room was number 52 which looked out over the back of the hotel. The bedding was clean as were the rooms... More

Hi Eastlands 10, It was good seeing you again and I am pleased that you were satisfied once again. From listening to previous reviews it was decided that we needed to invest in the entertainment room as capacity and furniture was an issue and since your stay with us we have had our delivery of new entertainment room and lounge...

I am glad you enjoyed your recent break with us and am sorry that you find the vouchers “daft” We have had some excellent feedback from our regular travellers and this has reduced queues considerably and may I add that it is not compulsory to consume all 5 of the vouchers nightly. I agree that the Isle of Wight is... More

stayed here over the easter holiday on an all-inclusive with National Holidays. First impression of the Hotel was it is Drab, in need of a refurb and complete re-organisation of the ground floor layout. Our room was fine, sea view, plenty of storage space and the Heating was working. Bathroom was clean only grumble we could not have a shower,... More

Thank you for your recent review, We are looking at increasing the capacity in our entertainment room and replacing the older furniture due to the nature of our entertainment there is little requirement for a dance floor as our entertainment is that of relaxed style without the need to view certain acts. I am glad you found the food plentiful... More
