Paignton is right in the heart of Torbay and has a wealth of nearby attractions to suit all ages. The Esplanade is a pleasant hotel ideally situated on a level seafront position just a short walk to the sandy beach, pier, shops and brand new cinema.
Within the hotel, the south facing Sun Lounge and Harbour Bar Lounge offer stunning views across ‘the Bay’ and the attractive Riviera Suite provides a warm and friendly atmosphere to enjoy the entertainment.
Make the most of the views and upgrade your room to one with a sea view (charges apply) - you won’t be disappointed! Take a short stroll to the picturesque harbour and along the cliffs of the coastal path or enjoy a trip back in time on a steam train to Dartmouth. Glorious.

This is a good value for money hotel with excellent food and friendly staff. In a good location closed to the beach and shops. The rooms were clean and pleasant, but a bit small. The en-suite bathroom could do with being a bit bigger, more like a cupboard than a bathroom. Nowhere to put a bar of soap on the washbasin. The room needed some hooks for coats instead of using wardrobe space. Overall a very pleasant and comfortable place to stay. I would recommend.

Good value for money. Lovely friendly staff. Good size rooms and nice and clean. Good choice of food. This cost us £35 per night you would have a job to get B and B for that money. The only thing was we had a bathroom without a shower. I would have preferred a shower but this was our own fault as we should have asked for this when we booked. I would recommend this hotel to my friends.

First visit to this hotel will certainly be back again. Food was excellent and all the staff were so helpful. The Hotel is in a great position opposite the beach and a sort walk to the shopping centre. Worth a lot more than just 2 stars should be at least 4 stars.

Wonderful Hotel, clean, good food and selection, waiter MARIUS outstanding, ANDY at the desk when holiday over excellent and helpful with luggage to car. Entertainment live and very good but a bit too loud for myself. All the staff excellent and helpfull. Highly recommend to any who wish a good no hassle Holiday. Double room with two single beds recommended as the double bed rooms very small, but one only needs it to sleep? Last, I wish to thank all at the hotel for giving me a pleasant Holiday.

Here in the Esplanade Hotel one cannot find a more caring helpful staff either in this country or abroad and I have travelled to many places. One only has to ask any member of staff about anything whatsoever and believe you me they do their utmost to accommodate your request. I’ve recommended this hotel to many friends and they totally agree what a happy, friendly comfy hotel it is they also agreed that the menus are really good as is the food. I'm so looking forward to my next visit with them.

Staff are very friendly and helpful. The food was good, a good choice of menu, something to please everyone. The entertainment could have been better but some things can’t be perfect all the time but a good effort. Very good value.

We are about to return to the Esplanade for a weekend break, and we can honestly say that we look forward to going there. We originally stayed at the Esplanade because we had relatives in the area, but we have enjoyed our stays so much that we just want to go back and soak up the atmosphere again. It’s great value for money and wonderfully warm atmosphere.

We came for a short weekend break for my wife’s birthday and it was really good. The room was fine, very clean and well appointed for the price we paid, but bathroom could do with a little more shelf space for toiletries etc. The food was very good and varied to suit all tastes and the evening entertainment was great. Will definitely return, may be not her, but happy to try other Bay Hotels.

We stayed here for a week and it was absolutely lovely. The room was big and decorated lovely, there was a big wardrobe in the room, bigger than Narnia! There was a big dressing table with a big mirror. The food wasn’t bad; the staff were lovely and very friendly. A great hotel for 2 star.

This is a wonderful hotel, came here many years ago, loved it then and it is still a good choice. Lovely food, rooms are very clean, we had entertainment every night which was a bonus for us and the staff were very obliging and friendly. A lovely holiday all round!

Good hotel. All the staff are very pleasant and helpful. Room very clean and tidy, food excellent and plentiful. I think excellent value for money. Only down side is that the entertainment is poor and the lift wasn’t working. I’ll be going again in September.
