Guests say
Ocean Shangri La in Torquay receives glowing praise for its breathtaking views, spacious and comfortable interiors, and excellent location close to the seafront and local attractions. Guests particularly appreciate the convenience of the private garage and the relaxing atmosphere, with many expressing a desire to return. While a few minor issues such as parking, occasional cleanliness concerns, and access for less mobile guests were mentioned, the overall experience is highly positive, making it a popular choice for a memorable stay.
Most guests found the apartment very clean and well-maintained, though a couple of reviews noted minor issues such as the kitchen not being very clean on arrival and the hallway flooring needing attention. These were exceptions rather than the norm.
The location is widely praised for its stunning views, proximity to the promenade, and easy access to local attractions. Some guests noted the hill and steps may be challenging for older visitors, but taxis are readily available and affordable.
Guests consistently describe the apartment as spacious, comfortable, and relaxing, with many highlighting the quality of the beds and living areas. One mention of single beds needing new mattresses was the only minor comfort concern.
The apartment is well-equipped, with guests appreciating the private garage, balcony, and kitchen amenities. A few minor maintenance issues were quickly resolved, and the garage was noted as a significant bonus. Some mention of the kitchen being small and a plumbing issue, but these did not detract from the overall experience.
There are no references to welcome gifts or extra thoughtful touches in the reviews, so a score cannot be provided for this category.

Fantastic property spoilt only by a kitchen not being very clean on arrival. View from the property made up for this.
