Most of our stays at the Esplanade have been as part of a church weekend away - we take over the whole hotel - and our group of 250-270 puts quite a strain on the hotel's ability to function. But each year they not only survive, they offer incredible service, excellent food and comfortable facilities in the friendliest and most caring manner possible. Over the years there has been constant improvement, whether in the room upgrading, the increasingly ambitious and imaginative menu, the friendly spirit and teamwork of the enthusiastic staff, or the range of services on offer. The weekend is never long enough, and many of us come back to the hotel at other times of year simply because it is such a great place to be.
Several other churches from our city are now copying our example. All are delighted by the hotel. It isn't the Ritz or the Radisson Blu, but it's an extremely comfortable and welcoming environment with remarkably economical prices and an unexpectedly high standard of care and quality for a seaside hotel.
And no hotel in England has a more striking outlook from the dining room... except possible sister hotel The Bay, 200 yards further down!
