The hype
Guests are obsessed with the pool and the decor, calling it a 'breath of fresh air' for the area.
The Nici
$190-350/ noć
Rezervirajte ovaj smeštaj ako You want a slice of South Beach Miami without leaving the UK, complete with a heated outdoor pool that actually works in winter.
Zašto Ljudima Sviđa
- The 30m heated outdoor pool is a genuine year-round showstopper
- Miami-inspired interiors that are actually fun, not just kitsch
- Location on West Cliff is unbeatable—seconds from the beach but high enough for views
Brzi pregled: It’s the coolest hotel in Bournemouth by a mile, but the 'London prices' for breakfast and parking might sting.
Pregledano od @clarkrecommends: My stay at The Nici was the perfect mix of chic aesthetics and pure relaxation. I spent hours in the incredible indoor spa, and the tropical vibes in my room made it feel like a true escape. Highly recommend for a pampering staycation!

- You're an Instagram power user—the aesthetics are flawless
- You travel with a dog (they get VIP treatment)
- You want a resort feel where you don't need to leave the property

Česta pitanja i skriveni saveti
Sve što zaista trebate da znate pre nego što rezervirate.
Is the outdoor pool actually warm in winter?
Yes. It's heated year-round and guests confirm it's swimmable even in November/December.
How much is parking?
£27 per night for valet. It's a small lot and cars get blocked in, so allow 30 mins to get your car out.
Is it pet friendly?
Very. Dogs cost £30-£50/night and get beds/bowls. Garden Suites are best for easy outdoor access.
Does the room rate include breakfast?
Usually no. Expect to pay ~£26pp for the full hot menu or ~£19pp for continental.
Is there a dress code?
Smart casual. Think 'Miami evening'—no robes or wet swimwear in the main restaurants.
Can I use the spa if I'm not a guest?
Yes, they offer day passes and treatment packages, but hotel guests get priority access to the pool.
Insajderski saveti
- ✨
The 'Cosy Annexe' rooms are in a separate building—cheaper, but a 20-second walk to the main hotel.
- ✨
There's a secret cinema room on the lower ground floor that screens family movies daily.
- ✨
If you don't want to pay £26 for breakfast, walk 5 mins to 'Flirt Cafe' for a quirky, cheaper alternative.
5 stvari koje trebate znati prije nego što krenete
