Stayed two nights in a balcony room overlooking the beach, which was lovely. Our room was forgotten by housekeeper for daily service, but another staff member sorted this for us. Comfortable & clean with good parking.

We were disappointed with how tired it was. We last stayed here about 10 yrs ago and it was amazing. Our first impressions was walking into our room and there was a curtain hanging off its hooks. There obviously had been a flood as the bottom of the kitchen cupboards had water damage. The only thing that saved the room was the view and the bed and linen were great 5 stars. But wouldn't go back unless they revamped the room. Was gutted when we paid over $400 a night you would expect better.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the St Clair hotel. We booked a sea view suite, it really was worth the little extra - a fabulous view, spacious room with sitting and sleeping areas, vety comfortable. All reception people were lovely and helpful. Parking is free in their underground car park as parking on the sea front is tricky. There are multiple dining options but do book ahead as the Tiki restaurant loked nice but was full on both nights. We went esrly to the Italian, had to wait 20 minutes but it was very good. In all a great stay. And as a guest pf St Clair you have free access to the heated salt water pool on the front. Highly recommend this hotel.

We absolutely loved our 3 nights at Hotel St. Clair. What a stunning place. The 1 bedroom villa was perfect and looked out directly over the gorgeous beach. The Titi restaurant next door serves amazing food. We wished we could have stayed longer. We hope to return.
