Stayed at Watergate Bay as part of the New Year package. We were a large group, kids and grandparents, so every age needed to be catered for. Overall, we would say that our stay was great. The highlights being: friendly staff and service, wonderful food, ideal for children with great free child care, a willingness to go above and beyond in making the stay family-friendly, and of course, the unbeatable location and views! The rooms we had, with a full sea view, were very cosy and nicely designed - but do be prepared for some being on the small side, and it is a shame a little more room for storage couldn’t have been included. For this price point, there is no evening turn-down service, which we would have expected. I also think that the entertainment needs to be revisited. Apart from New Year’s Eve, it finished at 9 p.m., which was about the time we finished dinner! New Year’s Eve itself was terrible. The band was awful, there was no atmosphere, and a laser show which was really disappointing. We would have been better off sleeping early! We would definitely visit again in the summer/spring, but for a New Year’s package, there is definitely a need to learn lessons and improve the experience for next year.
