I had a pleasant stay at Macdonald Elmers Court Resort, enjoying the spacious accommodations and friendly service. The outdoor and indoor pools were highlights, providing a great way to relax. However, I did encounter some maintenance issues that affected my comfort, particularly concerning the bathroom facilities. Overall, it was a cozy retreat with some room for improvement.

I chose the self-catering option and didn't try breakfast at the hotel, but I heard it might not cater well to vegetarian or vegan diets. The leisure club cafe was convenient for quick meals.

During my stay at Macdonald Elmers Court Resort, I particularly enjoyed the spacious accommodations and friendly staff, which made my visit enjoyable. However, I was disappointed with some aspects, like the dining options being quite pricey. Overall, it was a lovely location with great facilities, perfect for families, but a bit of cleaning could improve the experience.

My stay at Macdonald Elmers Court Resort had some high points, like the spaciousness of the apartment and the beautiful gardens. However, we faced issues with the cleanliness and some amenities, which put a damper on the experience overall. I'd say it was a bit of a mixed bag, with a really lovely setting but some things needing serious improvement.

Dining options left a bit to be desired; the restaurant prices were just too steep for the quality. I'd recommend heading into town for a better meal!

The on-site facilities like the indoor and outdoor pools were pretty decent and kept clean, which helped with relaxation. Yet, I felt some amenities were just okay.

My stay at Macdonald Elmers Court Resort was a mixed experience. The grounds were stunning, and the indoor pool was a highlight, but I encountered some issues with the accommodation. Overall, while the location and amenities were impressive, there were aspects of my room that detracted from the experience.

Rooms

The room was spacious, but it had some maintenance issues that were disappointing. I found cobwebs and the decor seemed outdated, which was not what I expected. The bed, unfortunately, was not comfortable at all, impacting my sleep significantly.
Service

Most of the staff were genuinely friendly and went out of their way to assist me. However, I had trouble reaching someone at reception multiple times, which could have been improved.
Location

The location was beautiful, surrounded by well-maintained gardens and offering lovely views of the Solent. It was conveniently close to Lymington, making it easy to explore the area, though the walk back at night was a bit challenging due to limited lighting.
Dining
6.0
I didn't dine in the hotel restaurants since I wanted to explore local options. This was partly due to a limited vegetarian menu, which my boyfriend would have struggled with if we had chosen to eat at the hotel.
Facilities
8.0
The facilities were generally good, especially the indoor pool and spa. I enjoyed a lovely massage, but some areas could have been enhanced for a more relaxing atmosphere, such as adding some essential oils in the steam room.
