We have just returned from the Tarvic 2 Hotel (12-17 July 2008) and wonder if we were in the same place as some of the other reviewers.
We stayed here as part of a coach party - on arrival there was afternoon tea and biscuits awaiting us (which is a first)and a welcome from the manager.
The food was basically and plainly cooked (to cater for all tastes) but was of good quality and variety. They gave very generous portions and there was a three choice menu for each course.
The room we had did have a sea view and was larger than normal, the shower room and toilet had been newly renovated. The towels and bed linen were of very good quality and prestine white.
There was always hot water for showering and washing at all times of the day.
There is tea and coffee making facilities in the room which was replenished every day. The colour television only had four channels but a very good picture and colour.
The dining staff were delightful and quickly and efficiently attended to your request. The 'working' manager who was always there doing some job or other but was ready to stop and chat to the guests.
There was entertainment every night which was fun.
There were two coach parties at the hotel and I did not hear any grouse or complaint from anyone,
there was a nice atmosphere. The hotel is in a gorgeous position in Sandown on the sea front and is in near walking distance to the town.
Taking into account the cost of the break and the quality of the Tarvic 2 - a very good enjoyable deal.
I can think of no reason not to recommend this Hotel.
