Ξενοδοχεία με La Crête Fort, Trinity

The Merton apartments are really beautiful, well appointed with a high level of amenity (apart from air conditioning) and an enviable level of service from the staff. In particular our maids, Rica and Agata were extraordinarily solicitous and helpful. The apartments are just over the road from the swimming pool which is clean and beautiful and an easy walk both down to the beach and into town. If you just want to have a quiet day they are a few minutes walk from a lovely park and to great beaches. If you want to go for meals out there are loads of restaurants to choose from. However if you want to eat at the hotel the catering is, if a little expensive, very good indeed. The evening meals comprising of a range of cuisine have something for everyone and the service is second to none. If you want to self cater you will find, just down the hill and around the corner, a well stocked Coop. Be prepared to experience what must be the coldest shop in the universe. So how would I sum up staying at the Merton with the family? This was a really lovely place to be based in Jersey with all the amenities for a great holiday, especially with children..

We stayed at this hotel from 7 August for 3 nights as a family of 4. Really lovely hotel, we had two spacious rooms which were interconnecting. The hotel has a lovely indoor pool, there's a cold water pool to use, if you brave enough. We walked to St Helier High Street every day which was about a 15-minute walk. The hotel is on a hill so worth bearing in mind if someone has mobility issues. We didn't use it but the hotel does have a courtesy bus it lays on for guests. All staff were so friendly, from the hotel reception, the maids. In particular, Gavin on reception whom we met the first day was so welcoming and friendly. He told us about a walk round the bay at St Brelades which was well worth doing, if you good on your feet, he told us all the different bus routes, and nothing was too much trouble for him. Would definitely recommend this hotel, just wish we had stayed longer but we will visit again.

Would we visit again? Unequivocally, yes. The hillside location affords spectacular views across St Aubin’s Bay; however, unless you have your own means of transport, once you get there, options to venture out are very limited. There is a steep flight of steps that lead to the main road, but there are few amenities in the immediate vicinity. We were greeted by very friendly front of house staff. Access to the rooms was reminiscent of the gangways on a cruise ship and the room balconies too. However, the south-westerly facing rooms got very hot and stuffy and that was at only 23C! Cannot imagine how 35C would have been. We noticed that so many bedroom doors were wedged open with a variety of items (trainers) to allow a through-draft. Summers are only going to get warmer. We were disappointed with the Indigo Restaurant, of which we were expecting great things - particularly given that you have to make a reservation for a table. We opted for the daily menu (2 courses for £25) but very surprised at the very small portions. The views, however, are spectacular. The cocktails are just short of £10 each. We preferred to eat in the Indigo Terrace for the remainder of our stay and would thoroughly recommend the steak sandwich. We found the staff more attentive, and the service appeared to be more efficient. They serve great hot and cold food until 8.30pm.

The Atlantic Hotel is absolutely a first class property, worthy of its excellent reputation. I had a great stay at the hotel, including through Storm Ciarán. First and foremost, the staff at The Atlantic are really excellent. I can't think of a hotel I've stayed at where the staff have been so consistently hospitable, warm and personable. Several deserve to be mentioned by name. Nathan is the wonderful concierge - he is warm, eager to assist guests and genuinely interested to give great hints and tips and ensure each guest has a great stay. Equally Sherman the restaurant manager was a credit to the hotel. He greeted me by name each time I saw him and demonstrated the highest levels of professionalism, care and genuine warmth. I hope he's still there next time I return! Equally Gregg in the restaurant, Alex, the assistant sommelier, Patrick, Rui, the front desk team - all were great. It's a real credit to the hotel's leadership that they are attracting, training and retaining such excellent staff. That really shown through in the aftermath of Storm Ciarán. I knew that the staff were committed to taking care of us, ensuring the safety and comfort of guests. The hotel itself is a true classic. It's not the most contemporary - nor should it be. It has personality, warmth and is genuinely comfortable. Cleanliness is excellent and maintenance is good. Some areas perhaps are in need of an update, but nothing critical. I liked that the hotel didn't feel forced or that it was trying to be something it's not. I think the building itself has an elegance and presence. I really enjoyed my room. I would DEFINITELY recommend the sea-view. I hesitated and shouldn't have. It makes a huge difference. The view is exceptional and I loved the little Juliette balcony. The furniture is mixed, but thoughtfully so. The beds great and a delight to stay in a hotel that doesn't have a hugely over-heavy duvet. The indoor pool was pleasant and I appreciated the sauna too. Breakfast at the hotel is again first class. I definitely enjoy having hot food prepared to order. Plus a good quality, well curated buffet too. Food in the hotel generally is very good quality, but perhaps a little over complex. I counted five available menus for evening meal across the restaurant and bar / lounge. It's nice to have choice and variety - but that felt a little much. A small point, but amidst the five menus - the dessert options were limited and just not quite right. The small choice were all fine dining style - and just a little fussy. It's great to have a couple of innovative options but the menu was missing options that were perhaps just more classic and accessible. I think the pastry chef could perhaps also add to the afternoon menu some fresh cakes or home made biscuits to accompany a cup of tea in the afternoon. I also think that the music in the lobby and restaurant must drive the staff slightly crazy! A little variety would be good. Thos

The service / staff are amazing here. There is a Portuguese girl on reception who is really sweet and another European girl on reception too. There is a cocktail specialist in the bar who really knows his stuff (I think he’s Indian). Staff at the breakfast in the morning are really good too! Try the oat milk latte. Big disappointments are: the single beds are uncomfortable in the twin rooms with awful pillows. The pool in the spa is a bit dirty, the lighting gives the perception that the environment is cleaner than it actually is. The breakfast has no fresh fruit, surely you can provide daily watermelon, fresh pineapple and melon etc.

Had a lovely time - the room overlooking the bay provided the best view and it was a dream to wake up to the sound of waves every morning. Can't beat the location and there are several restaurants nearby as well as the hotels own which was really convenient for drinks in the evening and for a quick lunch between beach sessions. Everything was clean and quiet and service was friendly and even called to tell us our room was ready earlier than planned.
