L’Horizon Beach Hotel & Spa

房間中規中矩，雖然在當地排行榜的第二名，但説實話並未感受到酒店的奢華。反而酒店服務員都很熱情友善。早餐除了自助餐以外，還有很多現做零點的餐食，費用都包括在裏面。前台有免費提供檸檬水和水果。酒店位置還是可以的，但澤西島本來就不大，而聖布雷拉德海域也並不大。餐廳都是步行十分鐘可以到達。公交車站就在酒店對面。

What an amazing place to stay in Jersey. Forget St Helier, and St Aubin. L’Horizon is right on the beach in St Brelades. The bus stop is right across from the entrance and we got around all week using the buses. We were lucky with the weather and it was like being in Spain/Greece etc, without all the tourists. Was lovely and quiet. The staff are amazing, the food equally so, breakfast unfortunately was amazing (we put weight on it was so good). The spa was a real treat, we had treatments and both loved it. I can think of nothing negative, other than to say the bedroom needed a slight update, but it was very clean and perfectly formed. Loved Jersey, the hotel made it very special. We highly recommend.

Let’s start off with the positives. The staff are excellent. We enjoyed the food, very much. The bay is beautiful. If you go out of the back of the hotel and turn right, a short walk along the promenade will take you to some shops and restaurants that are well worth a try. Go a little further and you will find the most interesting Fisherman's Chapel next to St Brelade's Parish Church. So, why only three stars from me? First off, our room was at the front of the hotel overlooking a scruffy flat roof with some dinner plates on it, ductwork and rotting windows, no balcony, no sea view. Being at the front of the hotel, it was noisy with traffic especially as there was bus stop was right outside our window. This resulted in us being woken up early, as the buses sat there with their noisy engines running for a couple of minutes, whilst passengers got on and off. We ended up having seven nights of poor sleep. We asked a number of times if we could move rooms, but were told nothing else was available. We asked the travel company if we could move hotels, but were told the same, even though we had found accommodation elsewhere. One lesson here for us is to never ever book a package holiday again. Had we booked the hotel ourselves, we would have just left and gone elsewhere. Still on the room, there were no power sockets by the bed for us to plug a USB cable or charger in to. This made it tricky to keep our phones charged. Like a lot of people, we often look at our phones and listen to an audio book last thing at night. We often check them during the night to know what time it is, and again first thing in the morning, so it was tricky not to be able to charge them next to the bed. Generally, the hotel is looking tired. In the main dining room, the curtains all look like they're coming down. The edgings of the steps between rooms are coming off. The whole place could do with a deep clean, some new carpets, a coat of paint, and so on. Whilst it's absolutely lovely on the back terrace overlooking the bay, there isn't that much space there. Certainly not for a hotel with over 100 rooms. Case in point is that there are only eight or so sunbeds on the terrace. Okay, you can get a free sunbed on the beach, but it'll the cost you £5 for a small umbrella. My final gripe is that whilst we were there, there was a business meeting being held in one of the rooms just off the lobby and overlooking the back terrace. For four days those not in the meeting, but part of the event, hogged the dining tables in the bar lounge where the windows overlook the bay, and stared at their laptop screens or yakked on their phones for the whole day. The hotel is huge so why not make them have their meeting and breakout area at the other end of the hotel in one of the empty unused rooms, rather than where other guest would have chosen to sit? I did note that after four days of meetings, the room that had been used, was returned to a dining room with the lovely bay view rathe
