The Location is brilliant but and, with the heated outdoor pool, seemed ideal. The sign said the heated outdoor pool was shut but, happily, even though the receptionist confirmed it was shut we were later told it was open. That was great news but we didn’t expect it to be a building site. It might, just, be opened for the... More

I hope this will give a very balanced view of the Carbis Bay hotel and enable the reader to decide if this is the perfect getaway when choosing to pay what is quite a substantial amount of money. We had a most lovely stay but there was room for improvement and would I return - possibly not as there are... More

Hotel very relaxing - staff very pleasant and helpful- food little on Nouveau Cuisine style but beautifully presented-extra cost for vegs and chips- menu very varied - restaurant spacious and views over Carbis Bay are stunning - which is why its so popular as wedding venue - not so good for the holiday guest who has to include weddings and...

Front sea view room was tiny, no room to "spread out". Ask for and got another room with side sea view(same price). Attended a wedding reception which was excellent, no complaints. However the breakfast leaves a lot to be desired. Canned fruit!!! Soggy sliced, processed bread. At £270 per night this was very poor. Staff were excellent but more thought... More

Wonderfully located, the Carbis Bay is a gem with a few exceptions. The rooms tend to be on the small side, although very clean, modern and comfortable with lovely fluffy towels and comfy beds. Wish they would supply better toiletries as they are less than you would expect from a hotel like this. We found staff very helpful, whether in... More

The location of this hotel is beautiful. A little disappointed with the sea view room. Very small room, and bathroom tiny, but the room was very clean. Our first day, we had workman drilling and banging outside our room. I feel that the drinks are very expensive. £8 for two cups of coffee. The staff in Restaurant, were very good.... More

The location is excellent. Our room was small but great views which we paid extra for. Breakfast and dining staff were very good apart from the very loud morning (female) maitre d. The reception staff were unhelpful mostly. Not helping with luggage nor explaining about parking until asked. I don't know who the manager was as we saw no evidence... More

Yesterday was my first visit to the Carbis Bay in St Ives and I have to tell you I thought it was fabulous! The hotel is set in a magnificent setting overlooking Carbis Bay itself.I had a single room. They only have two singles in the hotel ,room number 207 which was absolutely lovely.It had its own balcony with table... More

Staff wonderful. Receptionist led us to our rooms. Floor 2½. Good room (221) at back of hotel with angled seaview from one of the two balconIes. Table and two chairs on balcony. Our room had damage to the carpet but apart from that was in a very good clean state. The evening meal included on the first night was from... More
