The place was really nice and clean with good facilities.
I had the Ardbeg room with separate bathroom, but the bathroom was huge and modern - great shower pressure.

Beach hotel amenities can include air-conditioned rooms, private terraces overlooking the sea and outdoor pools with adjacent bars.

The Islay Hotel is a great location for shops, eating out, distilleries and beaches. We found the staff to be very helpful and friendly. Our room was spotlessly clean and well organized. The breakfast was a very good start to our day. In addition to the hotel, we recommend the café at Ardbeg distillery for lunches and teas. On the road to Bowmore (on the right-hand side) is the Balaclava Byre Farm Shop and Restaurant, which also provides delicious food, using local produce from Islay.
The setting is beautiful. You can walk through the golf course to the beach and it's like having your own private beach. The rooms are comfortable and clean (not luxurious but cozy). I don't think any hotels on the island are that fancy so this is definitely one of the nicer and more spacious ones (rooms are not huge but at least they aren't tiny). The food at the restaurant was pretty good too which is convenient. Staff and people on the island were extremely nice.
Nigel, Moira,.Jane and the team at The Islay Hotel are truly great hosts. Professional, friendly, and over and beyond helpful. I highly recommend the daily specials at the restaurant. The freshest ingredients, beautifully prepared. A great location sitting on the beach of Port Ellen and a 20-minute stroll to Laphroaig and other distilleries nearby. Many thanks for your warm and forever memorable hospitality Ilay. I'll be back soonest.
The location is superb, wonderful views and walks along the vast beach. The accommodation was clean and comfortable with a fantastic bathroom. The room was a tad small and we had to keep our cases in the middle of the room but we had a great view across the golf course to the sea with stunning sunsets.
