It's a good place to relax and keep fit. I am yet to try one of the group classes. The treatments are one of the best i ever had in any spa(been to quite a few in different countries). Facilities are very good as well. Location not great if you fancy an overnight stay with pretty views. There's sauna, plunge pool, heated outdoor pool, relaxation areas(both outdoor and indoors), treatments are elemis .

I was in the area on business and elected to reserve a "luxury" room and was very glad I did; it had a sweeping view of the gardens and farm fields as far as the eye could see, was huge and had formal mirrors and a chandelier, a comfortable king bed and a velvet sofa. I had the two-course dinner, with a fresh carrot ginger soup and local Staffordshire rump of lamb with parsnip and plum. It was flawlessly prepared and delicious. The wine list is strong. I also had an after dinner drink at the bar and had a truly lovely conversation with a young bartender named Marek. Hoar Cross appears to attract a lot of folks for "girls spa getaways," with lots of women clearly revelling in their enjoyable mini vacations. The mood is light and joyful. Sadly, I did not realize that spa access was part of my package, and was unprepared with swimwear, so I cannot speak of the spa amenities. I'd return here in a heartbeat.

The spa has a wide range of beauty and day spa treatments, but only the top of the range stuff. If you were after a quick, cheap tan I'd go somewhere else.

The prices are pretty much what you would expect with such high standard service and top quality products, but still affordable to us peasants!

The Llandudno Bay Hotel is located in an older, classical building that has been heavily renovated,…read moreright on the bay, dubbed "Queen of the Welsh Resorts." The renovation is still going on. We stayed here for 2 nights. Our room was modern in all respects. It was a small room, but my husband and I aren't big people, so the space was good enough for us. The shower was all new, clear glass, quarter-round design. I liked the design and it would be great in a cruise ship cabin. I wouldn't be able to take a shower & wash my hair, since I wash my very long hair looking down and when I flip my hair to the back to rinse the top of my hair, my hair will be rubbing all over the glass, water will splatter all over the floor, what a mess that would make! For a large person, however, there would barely be room to move. Soft water, that's a plus, specially if you've got thick hair down to your buttocks! Internet access was easy and the speed was very good. We were traveling as part of a tour group and had breakfast and dinner there for two days. Breakfast was a buffet with both hot and cold foods available. It was adequate for a hotel of this size. Coffee was brought promptly and it was good. On our 2nd breakfast, the staff were late bringing out hot foods, the guests didn't have bowls for their cereals, no dishes for hot foods. I was also told, they charge extra for hot cocoa. When I told them, I don't drink coffee nor tea, but hot cocoa, the head waitress told me, she'd give me a cup, but refills I would have to be charged! For the 6 times, we've traveled with this company, NOT ONCE, have I've been charged for hot cocoa! Because I only have 1 cup to put inside my travel mug, it was also watered down, when yesterday, I was telling our Tour Director: "The cocoa in Wales was much better tasting than Scotland." Today, it was diluted, & yucky! Update: We were told that they opened breakfast (for us), that's why they were late getting everything ready! That's what tourism is all about, and they are in business to accommodate their guests at all times! Dinners were also tasty. The serving staff was small and our group was large, so there was little "how are you doing?" after each course was brought. We found it easier to order our drinks from the bar and bring them to our table, rather than overburden the wait staff. DH couldn't pay his bar tab at 6:45 AM because the night staff didn't know how and the day front desk person didn't start till 7am. Is a small, friendly hotel with a limited staff. When we got back to our room, after having dinner on our first night, the toilet was still running. I called reception to ask them, is there a secret in quieting down or stopping the toilet from continuing flushing, but they didn't answer the phone. I tried fixing it, by holding the flusher and re-flush, and that seems to do the work. Other times, it doesn't flush! Heated towel holders, a plus, but there are no hooks for other towels. No wash cloths, so I called the reception desk and they sent me 2 long hand towels, we already have those! I used a hand towel in my shower to exfoliate, instead of a wash cloth! Imagine using THAT, heavy towel (when wet), all over your skin to exfoliate.

Having had Vibro suite recommended to me by a friend I decided to check out the spa and am very glad I did. They have a fantastic range of treatments and are able to accommodate you if you want a 30 minute lunch time treat or like me an entire afternoon of relaxation. In an attempt to relax I opted for a "Deep Tissue Massage" and a "Bespoke You Facial" both were 1 hour treatments. The welcome was fantastic and I immediately felt at ease and was offered a range of drinks, the initial massage was carried out very well and actually did work to release some of the tension I felt. This was followed by a 10 minute break where I was allowed to sit relax and offered another drink. The Facial consisted of a 15 minute consultation asking about my skin type and normal routine. This was followed by a full 1 hour facial which I think was done very well. Unlike many other spas I wasn't pressured into buying any products or booking a follow up, the staff were fantastic and both treatments were great value for money. I would definitely recommend Vibro Suite.

However, overall hotel room comfort did not meet expectations. When we checked in, our room was very hot due to the sun coming in the windows. The AC didn't work properly and the front desk was very slow in finding someone to solve the problem. Because we faced the street, it was too noisy to have the windows open at night to get fresh air. Perhaps I would have felt differently if given a room in the back with a view of the gardens. This was our least favorite hotel out of the six we stayed in during a 7-day walking tour.

For me the main attraction is the pool which is free from kids after 630 for either a fitness swim or a relaxing swim. The lighting in the pool area is chilled out and you can swim directly from the inside pool to the outside pool which is great for the summer and the winter! Upstairs there's an extensive spa area with sauna, fire and ice room, steam room and salt steam room, plus the infinity pool! The gym is well equipped and has a movie room where you can watch a film while you workout. As with many gyms these days the free weights area is too small and over crowded with no enforcement of gym etiquette, since most gyms suffer from this I've not marked them down :) The restaurant serves an interesting Asian fusion menu which is reasonably priced, delicious and does a good job of creating an intimate atmosphere.
