Fistral Beach Hotel and Spa - Adults Only

Fistral Beach Hotel and Spa - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent
"Excellent location with nice outdoor seating to have a drink before a walk to bars and restaurants at the other end of Fistral beach. All staff were very customer focussed and breakfast was plentiful and amazing quality. Decent spa facilities. A very minor downside was the on-site car parking which was very tight and as a result you are best placed to park on the road. Highly recommend and would book again."
