Haven Hotel
The location is the reason we stayed here. Right next to the beach where we could just chill. Room was comfortable and as expected. The building is dated The evening bar staff were distracted by their mobile phones & their service was appalling. Training needs to be given to make the customer experience better. We did eat an evening meal there-won’t so it again, food wasn’t great, too slow to receive the food (olives and bread took over 20mins to arrive). Charged us a 10% service charge which we weren’t aware of until after we’d paid….as service was poor I asked for it to be refunded. Breakfast staff were friendly very helpful and seemed to be happy to be there.

A little mid-week break
Just a few days away, lovely hotel on a fantastic location. Room was really nice and spacious, the only thing that let it down was the water pressure (or lack of) so having showers was pretty useless. Made use of the pools etc which were heated so even when the weather was not great, managed to get some swim time in. Would definitely go back.

4/10 Fair

Will not be returning to this hotel very tired. Bath not working poor pressure and luke warm after 30 mins running and just 10cm deep gave up. Staff could not fix but no other room offered. No flannels. Service at dinner soo slow and waitress chewing gum!!! Waited over an hour for starter and drinks! Customers next to us waited over 30 mins for ice cream! And still not served so gave up! Outdoor pool very clearly states no diving or jumping in but family including the adults dive bombing in hence no one else able to use pool. Reported to staff member but nothing done about it! Good point is it’s on a lovely Sandy beach

3nights Stay
Loved the leisure centre, breakfast was okay nothing stands out. Hotel is outdated but well maintained. Rooms could do a bit more storage, we had to keep some of our clothes in the luggage. Close to bus stand going to Bournemouth and beach. Staff friendly and helpful.

6/10 Good

great location, but our feeling is its an old tired hotel, we had basic room but was musty smelling and found dirty i had a dirty pillow cases, so had to sleep with one pillow, It was a very hot night, but window only open slightly, so no air, we did find a fan in cupboard, which helped. The beds are not very comfortable. Breakfast is self service, nothing to write home about, but adequate and you can eat outside with great views. Not great value for the money! but hopefully the better sea view rooms are better & cleaner.

6/10 Good

The property was very expensive for the price, I expected at 4 star and have received better facilities in a 3 star. The room had a desk top fan, a dirty broken kettle and the bathroom looked like it had seen better days (20 years ago!) the building needs some tlc and attention, and the gate access to the swimming pool and beach really needs to be changed as the the doors would not open. The staff were nice and I did not complain as I was there for 1 night. I’ve spent less in the Maldives for 5 star facilities!
