Hotel Review: Ommaroo Hotel, Jersey
An early 20th-century seaside villa hotel overlooking the salt-water bathing pool at Havre de Pas. The beach is just a few steps across the road, while the hotel also has its own heated outdoor pool and tranquil garden. The period rooms have high ceilings and nautical blue and white interiors.

OUR REVIEW
THE NEIGHBOURHOOD
This is practically on the seafront, with just a road separating the hotel and the beach. The Victorian seawater lido at Havre de Pas means you will be able to swim at the beach all day long. The shops and bars of town are just a short bus ride away. The island's main leisure centre, Fort Regent, is just a five-minute drive or a 20-minute walk.
By plane: flights from London Heathrow to Jersey take around one hour. The hotel is a 20-minute taxi ride from the airport.
By boat: ferries to St Helier run from Poole (4 hours) and Portsmouth (10 hours 20 minutes). Book boats.
THE LOOK AND FEEL
The hotel has grand rooms which reflect the building's history - it has been a family-run hotel since 1926 - including a ballroom-sized dining room where breakfast, lunch and dinner are served. Elsewhere there is local art on the walls and contemporary furnishings which are complimented by a range of potted plants.
THE FACILITIES
Service is slick and friendly, with good advice on what to see and do during your stay offered by everyone you encounter. The outdoor pool and terrace are hidden at the back of the hotel with a large shady garden to the side, just beyond the carpark.
