I've noted a couple of reviews concerning the unusual layout of the spa area - especially the location of changing rooms at this hotel. The reason the locker rooms are away from the pool/wet area is that they are also used by people using the Beauty Salon who need to change for treatments such as massage or sun showers. These people & I include myself here do not want to tread through wet floors. Thus the shower area (15-30 seconds walk from the locker room) is used to dry off & don a robe for the return to the locker & your belongings.
This spa is however not without fault & there are many. In recent months I have arrived to find the girls on reception sprawled on the floor painting their toe/finger nails, I have also seen them having mint throwing fights, chatting away in the back room on their mobiles & ignoring clients who are left to help themselves to towel/robes & find their own way around the facility. Cleanliness is a big issue here, or rather the lack of it. The pool frequently has a thick black scum line around it - the last time I complained about it I was told that the cleaner was on holiday!! The sauna, steam & shower areas are only ever cleaned with water, NEVER are these areas disinfected, I dread to think what lies within the 1000's of cracks that pervade the gents steam room ( I can't speak about the ladies area) -these cracks have been present for the last 15 or so years & must contain a veritable farmyard od bacteria. The jacuzzi is often under temperature & the tiles & filter in this are also frequently filthy, the tiles are seldom scrubbed as the black mould on the grout shows.
Toilets in the male area are difficult & sometimes impossible to flush, due to slow filling tanks & often when using them one is presented with the previous users deposit.
The facility lacks a Manager & has done for six months or so now. I believe a beautician is overseeing the running of the facility, but she obviously has no training in the running of a Health Suite.
It's interesting to note that St. Pierre Park NEVER respond to any comments on this site. This to me shows how interested they are in the opinion of their customers/guests. The management here are lazy & have been in their jobs too long, new blood is needed to buck up the staff & introduce new ideas into a now very stale establishment.
Very sad.

We stayed at the St. Pierre Park Hotel for 3 nights as part of a visit to the Channel Islands in June 2014.
The hotel is located about 25-30 minutes walk from the centre of St Peter Port and has the advantage of being located in beautiful grounds, with a feature lake with fountains and - my favourite - a floating duck house! There is ample car parking and a taxi into the town centre in the evening would be relatively inexpensive if the walk sounds off-putting.
Check-in was efficient and friendly and we had a room with a balcony overlooking the garden, which was nice. The room itself was very clean and spacious, with a good powerful shower and a large, comfortable bed. Tea & coffee facilities included a Nespresso machine.
Breakfast was a buffet affair and the quality was good, with plenty of choice. On one of the mornings they seemed a little over-run but generally things ran as expected. We didn't have dinner in the hotel restaurant so cannot comment on that, I'm afraid.
This proved a good hotel for our stay over a weekend, although I imagine it becomes a little more business-oriented during the week.

I have stayed this hotel many times for work. Many of the rooms have interconnecting doors which means you can hear everything the person in the next room is saying and doing!
Prices for food are expensive.
Grounds are relaxing

Lovely grounds, but no view at all from our room other than ugly flat roof. Functions both nights took over bars, leaving residents feeling a little like intruders on their own turf. Rooms meticulously cleaned, but initially only one bath and hand towel provided for 2, and pillows thin. Pool and spa area very well cared for. Location is quite a hike from town, so cabs or car hire needed, contributing to the feeling of excessive traffic on this beautiful island. Breakfast average - poached eggs available but not a success for chef on duty. Bar menu offered a good selection, well prepared, but service not always the standard expected in a quality hotel - grudging. The foundations of a lovely hotel, but with scope to improve environment, service consistency and give residents a better experience.

I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the island.
My room was spacious and clean.
The pool area is even nicer in reality than the pictures and gym is adequate.
I enjoyed my evening meal, with food quality and service getting top marks.

Myself and my family recently spent a week at this hotel service,spa facilities and cleanliness all good my only complaints were although the breakfasts were good it took them a long time to replenish them.i also thought our room was too small for the 3 of us and for £1200 a week in a hotel u would like to think your room would be spacious,that's really the only thing that would put me off booking this hotel again,because that was not the room I had agreed on the phone when booking

This report might be useful if brought to the attention of the recently appointed marketing and Sales Manager for Handpicked Hotels, Suzanne Kirk, who has responsibility for the 3 hotels on the island, of which St Pierre is one of them!
Firstly, the Good ... The spa and pool were really lovely, set in delightful gardens and all the staff were all friendly and helpful. The central location of the hotel is also a positive. Nice rooms, a bit dated but lovely big super comfy beds, pillows and duvets.
The Bad ... No air con in the rooms resulting in the need to leave the patio door open at night to keep the room cool, not good if you are on the car park/entrance side can be noisy, bedroom walls also quite thin as we could overhear normal conversations in adjacent rooms. Bit of investment in air con would be good in bedrooms especially as it was in other areas of the hotel. No fridge or security safe in room, a safe is available free behind reception but a bit tedious for staff and guests when busy. Also consider getting some soft closers on all the bedroom doors to prevent being disturbed from banging doors at all hours of the night. Very expensive drinks and food in the restaurant, meals better in the bar. This hotel prides itself on trying to reduce its carbon footprint so why are the rooms being made up with fresh towels everyday even when asked not to? At check out we were not asked if we had enjoyed our stay, missed opportunity for feedback there!
The Downright Ugly .... Stag parties...no, no, no!!!
My husband and I stayed between 5th and 9th August 2015, Overall our stay was ok but this hotel could be great with a little work!

We decided to book for my other half’s birthday. Choice of the suite was a no brained due to use of own hot tub. The size of the suite was very nice and all clean and very comfortable. The balcony garden was amazing giving lovely view of the lake and fountain. Golf course nearby and also hotel had good pool and gym facilities. Advantage of cooked breakfast in room was very nice and relaxed touch.
Have booked again nearer to the birthday.
