In guests' own words
All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Even the entertainment was great. A good choice of food. I will definitely be coming back.
What this guest liked: Nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff. Even the owners were lovely, always smiling and very helpful. Even though I was on my own at the hotel, I felt very safe.
Comfortable rooms. Nice sea front location, the food is of an excellent standard. Cleanliness is very good and the staff are very friendly and always willing to help. Entertainment laid on in the evenings, which is good.
What this guest liked: The food was outstanding. I could hear the sea from my room which overlooked the sea. Drinks facilities in the room.
What they would change: Parking is an issue, check where the nearest car park is if you have a hire car.
Just great. Victoria was lovely.
What this guest liked: Victoria.
Before you come
Yes. There is live music every Friday and Saturday night from 8.30pm to 10.30pm, and Tunes on the Terrace with DJ Big Bad John every Sunday afternoon from 3pm to 6pm on the seafront terrace.
Locals and hotel residents are both welcome, and there is no admission charge for the regular Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights.
Tribute nights are staged through the year, usually as a pair on a Friday and Saturday. Acts staged in 2026 have included Bee Gees Gold, Gemma as Whitney Houston, Ric Owen celebrating Neil Diamond, and Alfie Pearson celebrating Elvis Presley.
Tribute nights are ticket only and they sell out. Call the hotel on +44 1534 724519 for the current programme and to book. Monthly listings are also published on the hotel website and on Facebook.
No. The Dockyard Restaurant, the bar and the entertainment are all open to the public. The hotel's own listings say locals and residents are both welcome.
For a regular Friday or Saturday night you can simply come along, though booking a table is sensible if you want to eat. For ticketed tribute nights you will need a ticket in advance.
Tunes on the Terrace is the Sunday afternoon session on the alfresco deck at the Dockyard Restaurant, on the promenade at Havre des Pas. DJ Big Bad John plays from 3pm to 6pm.
It runs on the terrace facing the bay, so it is weather dependent.
The Dockyard Restaurant holds a New Year's Eve Gala Buffet and Dance on 31 December from 7pm, with live music from Laydee & The Amp and DJ Big Bad John.
Entry is by ticket only, at £110 per adult and £70 per child. There is a bed and breakfast package at £70 per person for those wanting to stay over. Call +44 1534 724519 to book.
Friday and Saturday live music runs from 8.30pm to 10.30pm. Sunday's Tunes on the Terrace runs from 3pm to 6pm.
The bar stays open later than the music. Friday and Saturday the restaurant and bar are open until 1am, and Sunday to Thursday until 11pm.
Booking on marinametrojersey.com goes straight to us rather than through an agent, so we can hold rooms, arrange airport transfers and answer questions before you arrive.
