Fistral Beach Hotel And Spa - Adults Only

“Wonderful hotel”

Beautiful hotel, my favourite I have ever stayed in! Staff were so warm and friendly and helpful, food and drinks were delicious and the views are unmatched!! Had such a lovely experience here. The mimosa bar at breakfast was a lovely touch.

“Wonderful return stay”

We returned to Fistral for a two‑night stay, hoping to unwind from our busy work life in London and escape the heat back in Kent — and once again, it didn’t disappoint. Every member of staff was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. We booked full‑body massages and were looked after by Sophie and Amilie, who were both incredibly skilled. It was exactly what we needed to reset and relax. The hotel team — restaurant, housekeeping, and spa — all made the stay feel effortless. The food was amazing, just as we remembered from our first visit. Our package included a 10% discount on GAIA products, but this wasn’t acknowledged at reception when we asked about it during checkout, which was disappointing and the reason for giving one less star.

We stayed at this hotel in April. The room was nice with sea views but the radiator didn't work. We booked a 3 course meal in the restaurant with a glass of wine each. The music sounded Indian and would be more appropriate in that type of restaurant. The bread was excellent. It was homemade sourdough and corniche scone with clotted cream butter. I had a ham hock and chicken terrine and my wife Bream with ratatouille. These were both excellent. By the main course we were getting cold. Curtains separated off various areas which meant staff were hidden. The staff were efficient but didn't make the evening special. My wife's main course was duck breast which was excellent. Unfortunately my meal was cod. They made a ring of a rather bland sauce, filled it with melted butter (butter noisette) and placed the cod in the middle. The veg was a stalk of cauliflower (cauliflower coral). Hardly a complete meal so we paid extra for new potatoes (small boiled old potatoes). The sweet menu was limited so my wife and I both had tiramisu. This comprised of sponge fingers, coffee ice cream and thick cream. It was too cold to finish out wine so we left it to go back to our cold room. A visit to reception generated an oil filled radiator with the promise of our radiator being fixed the next day. Later we visited the Espanade Hotel to listen to folk/ country singers. They were excellent but unfortunately the room was cold. It was then we discovered the two hotels are owned by the same group. We stayed in the Espanade a few years ago and we then recalled the same experience with a cold room and similar restaurant experience. Breakfast the next morning was excellent although we did have a cold reception from one of the waiters from the previous night. The music was lovely, varied popular music from the sixties onward.. The fresh fruit and yoghurt was lovely especially with the buck fizz Italian sparkling wine. I had egg royale and my wife egg avocado. Finished with cappuccino and chocolate croissants. I recommend you use the right hand coffee machine the lefthand one is awful. Went in the spa around lunch time when it was relatively empty. It was very nice. A nice couple we met there found the restaurant food poor and had a cold room because their bedroom radiator also didn't work. We had a smashing 3 course evening meal at the Lewenwick Hotel on the Pentire Headland. That evening we had to ask again about the radiator because it still was not working. Breakfast the next day was lovely although once again the staff could be more friendly in the restaurant. The location for this hotels is fantastic especially if you have a sea view but expect problems with heating and only stay for bed and breakfast. O, finally expect a 10% surcharge on your bill for the restaurant. In view of our experience we asked for it to be cancelled. An extra £13.20 on a £132 bill was just too much. The receptionist said the heating was on a time clock.
