The well appointed and popular Bay Royal Esplanade Hotel boasts glorious views from its level sea front position. Behind its imposing facade a wealth of amenities, amidst an aura of character and charm, ensure a pleasant stay. Isle of Wight breaks wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the beach which lies close by, whilst a short walk brings you to the shops and a variety of holiday attractions. Ryde is picturesquely perched on a hillside overlooking Spithead and the Solent with six miles of safe sandy beach backed by pleasant woodland gardens, an excellent shopping centre and entertainment to suit all tastes.
As with many other Ryde hotels, the Royal Esplanade does not have a car park although a public car park is located nearby (parking charges apply).

Value for Money
The hotel was clean and manned by pleasant staff. The sea view room was a bit dated with the green bathroom suite with the push on tap shower. The lift is a bit of a squeeze for two only and no luggage. The meals were good and the service good. On the whole, good value for money.

Another good Shearings trip
We had a really good time at this Hotel. On arrival we went straight to the bar and the Manager came and had a chat with us, which was nice. We booked a Sea view room, and was very impressed how large it was. The only fault was that the ballroom was too far from the bar but that is how the hotel is designed so not much can be done about that. Lovely food, nice friendly staff, which made it a very good break away. Loads to do and see on the Island. Would recommend. Thanks Shearings good Value.
