“Lovely hotel and very friendly staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 October 2011

I am writing this review as myself and my boyfriend booked a weekend away as i had been out of the country for a couple of weeks, we live in cornwall but wanted to get away from it all. the hotel was lovely, the room was great and very comfortable, the staff where very friendly. the only problem we had was the restaurant! we decided to stay the first night in the hotel for the evening meal, we were welcome and sitted to a lovely window seat, the menu and specials where amaxing, but when we ordered our food, the waitdress had to keep coming back as the dishes we ordered were unavailable, i ordered mussels and my boyfriend ordered the duck these were starters, they did not have duck, so he ordered mussels, mains he ordered steak and they had none of that, so he ordered the other special, they did not have that either, so we both had to have the same starters and mains, which was delicious. after the meal we ordered tia maria coffee in the bar, it was so bad we could not drink it, it was cold and i dont think any of the staff had ever made one before. other than that the hotel was lovely and clean. departure times and breakfast times could be a little changed especially during quiter months. and to be honest he room was expensive. as hotels in st.ives were cheaper in town and nice ones at that. but we had a lovely romantic weekend. thankyou for your friendly staff.

“Great Under Duress”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 October 2011

Unfortunately we arrived the day the manager had been suspended, however, this did not affect our stay. The other staff were extremely polite and helpful. The room was excellent and the bathroom spotlessly clean. Dinner and breakfast were of first class quality. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone staying in the area.

We recently had a 3 day stay at The Atlantic, which was thoroughly enjoyable. We stayed in the large bay window room with beautiful views over Carbis Bay. The standard of the room was good, although a little tired decor wise, but it is the end of the season. The bathroom was bijou but very clean with lovely fluffy towels. We only had breaksfast at the hotel, so cannot comment on evening meals, but the breakfast was superb. Service was also excellent and in general all the staff were very helpful and attentive.
Our only criticism relates to the bar, which on occasions is used by non residents for pool evenings and whilst we understand the need to generate income in these difficult times we felt that this is at the expense of residents comfort. Why can't an area, for example the restaurant reception area, which has a bar be made available to residents to enjoy a quiet drink?

Room Tip: As for a first floor sea view room

“Thank you!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 September 2011

I booked a weekend at The Atlantic for my partners birthday as a surprise. We were very impressed with the large, comfortable room with amazing views from the bay window out across Carbis Bay. The staff were all very friendly and went out of their way to help me organise a very special weekend. We returned from St Ives engaged and will never forget our weekend away and the genuine caring attitude of the people we met.

Room Tip: Room 14 has 2 large windows including 1 bay window overlooking Carbis Bay.

“Professional and friendly, very helpful staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 September 2011

This is a great base for exploring the area. The room was standard and small, but quiet. It had the tiniest bathroom that I ever came accross. For one person, the room was fine. I had expected the hotel to be a bit closer to the St. Ives (30 minutes stiff walk), but if it were, I would have missed the spectacular coast path from Carbis Bay to St. Ives. The staff was very helpful and provided quite some information for my sightseeing.
As I arrived late at night I had someproblems to find the hotel as there is no illuminated hotel sign, the restaurant was dark and the parking lot near invisible at night.
The restaurant is definitely one or even two categories above the hotel, in ambience as well as the food which was just great and I looked forward to it every evening.
