Spa Hotels & Resorts in Folkestone from NZ$99

"Lovely property. Never felt crowded and did not have to wake early to get a chair by the beach or pool. Ocean was rough during our stay so we walked over to pebbles beach for calmer waters. Would return!"

"Reception staff brusque. I advised the manager that they were bolshy, but she didn’t know what I meant. In general, all other staff were quite cheerful, efficient, helpful and seemed to be reasonably happy. On arrival, we were eventually shown to the room, 307 I think, and on entering we were knocked backed by a smell of damp, musty, fousty. A firm no thank you, long walk back to reception. We were shown to another room which was almost as far and just as damp etc., smelling. Trecked back to reception. After much protestations we were shown to a suite, which was thankfully smell free. This room was available to us at US$160 per night. We are reluctantly accepted after a strong protest. Not very happy. Even less happy when after a little around the property we went for a shower. Run the taps for 10 minutes but no hot water. Back to reception. “Are you sure you’re turning the tap the right way”? We had tried both ways. No one came until the following morning when they turned the tap on for 10 mins for the same result. Head scratching as they went to investigate. We went on like this all day until finally early evening we had some hot water.. But Planning was essential. Had to run the tap for five minutes before any hot water arrived. After being rebuffed by reception staff, I eventually spoke to the manager who offered a one night cancellation of the upgrade fee only, which I refused and successfully insisted on both nights upgrade fee being cancelled. Food was GOOD "

"As our flight was delayed 6 hours, we didn’t arrive until 10 p.m. and everything was closed at the hotel. Departed at noon the next day, but did manage to walk around the property and checked out beach area which was limited, thus we would likely choose another location next time as we like longer beach walks. Room was very spacious and clean with large sliding doors and windows overlooking road vs waterfront, but was not a problem. Expensive for a short one night stay for what was offered."

"We stayed (with friends) for in early April. The weather was great and we really enjoyed the snorkeling. The sun was more intense than we expected so take precautions. As for the Sandpiper - we've never stayed at a place with a nicer and more helpful staff. Everyone was great and they got to know us. The grounds were immaculate. you could ell they took great pride in their resort. Also great was the food. After a week in one place I usually get tired of the food but here the quality was great and the selection varied. We didn't feel the need to go offsite (but we did - had to explore the island). We could almost always get our favorite table overlooking the water. Drinks were tasty. The beach is small and informal but we always managed to find chairs to relax in. The pools were a nice alternative to the beach - especially after swimming in the ocean. The ocean was clean and clear. "

"Beautiful beach, large rooms, easy access to the rest of the island. "

"The housekeeping did a very very bad job. Did not clean the room well. Also the aisles and the stairs were always dirty. The housekeeping were also not friendly and did a very bad job at putting clean towels. There was always lacking some. Also did not change the bedsheet as supposed to. I must say, 2 of the staff members were very friendly and kind. Ms. Rosita from the front desk and mr. Adrain from the security. Adrian was the sweetest. Also very helpful. They definitely stood out. I loved the beach view. That’s why very unfortunate that the hotel is in such a bad state. It definitely needs to be upgraded. "

"The room was very clean and the staff did a great job cleaning every day. Used the bar and it was good. Did not have time to use the spa. Swimming pool was excellent however the opening times were very late i.e 10 a.m. and it closed early. B'fast buffet good. Evening meals usually overcooked. "

"We had a wonderful time. The staff was very friendly and accommodating except for not getting our room cleaned a few days. The food was great, entertainment every night, and we loved finishing up our nights dancing at the piano bar. "

"Nice property great location and food options "
