Bournemouth Highcliff Marriott Hotel

Bournemouth Highcliff Marriott Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Lovely hotel with great staff. Everyone was friendly and helpful. We stayed in the cottage’s which were better then we expected. They had nice views of the beach, pier and gardens. The swimming pool was a good size, warm and clean. Breakfast was varied and good quality. Room service was excellent and the staff were helpful bringing it in. Only downside was no dressing gowns in our room which would have been helpful to go to the pool but overall a great stay."

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable time to visit Bournemouth is during January, February, and November, when hotel prices tend to be lower. To fully enjoy the key landmarks, cultural sites, and natural attractions, a stay of at least 2 to 3 days is recommended. During your visit, you can explore the beautiful beaches, immerse yourself in the local culture, and take advantage of family-friendly entertainment options. With its friendly atmosphere, gardens, and opportunities for surfing and swimming, Bournemouth offers great value for money, making it an ideal destination for those on a budget.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: If you're planning a trip to Bournemouth, you may discover savings by exploring the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com. You could find discounted hotels near your travel date and be alerted via email or push notifications about flash sales and special offers. Furthermore, the Smart Shopping tool on the app helps you compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring that if rooms become available or prices drop, you're likely to be informed promptly for a potential last-minute getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate depending on various factors, including the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, being flexible with your travel dates may help you find a more affordable stay in a Bournemouth hotel. If you're in search of something distinctive, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised experience and could offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we’ll inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If it appears to be on the higher end, we may suggest alternative dates that could lead to a more economical option.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels near the city centre usually tend to be pricier, but thanks to Bournemouth's excellent public transport connections, you might discover a more affordable independent hotel a bit further out that remains well linked. For those keen to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often great value to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
