Staff are friendly and welcoming. I have used the coffee shop, cafe, sports shop and the swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna and steam room so far. I will add notes (if i can) for gym area and classes at later date once I have attended there - although initial visual appearance of gym area and numbers (at the times I have been there) looked reasonable to good with multiple machines of different types, space and availability on most it would seem. The pool was not crowded and lanes were marked off with sufficient space to swim at my own pace. Even when the aqua aerobics was on, there is still a lane to be able to do lengths. There is a water fountain and 2 loungers. There was room in each of the other areas, jacuzzi, steam and sauna rooms. The jacuzzi is quite large and spacious and the jets are good. I still haven't figured out what the gold butterfly type shape is, which appears to be stuck in the ceiling vent above it - but perhaps it is a sensor of some kind. They all appear to be cleaned regularly and I have seen water samples being taken. Changing rooms are spacious, with cubical to change in if you want to use them. Swim wear spin drier, hair driers. Tvs with news on. At the front desk, the coffee is Starbucks, from an automated machine, but is actually okay. There is a selection of sports wear, gym, and swim bits and pieces goggles, hats. Plus audio and phone accesories. Car park has always had spaces. There is an app which you can check how busy the site is. Book classes. You get a wristband, which allows access to the centre, is the key for your locker, plus if you want can be set to purchase goods at the front desk, this then affords a discount on some products. There are no sports halls for badminton, tennis, basketball, etc... but there are some rooms where classes can take place, including a dedicated spin room. There is a stand up sun room - can't comment, not used it. I feel this site would benefit from some area or option for spa type treatments, a hydro pool or similar, although they may be pushed to include this within the rooms and space they have. I am not sure if or what the 'busy' times are, the above is based on various visits at different times.

Charge my EV in the club. Waitress /reception Shonna let me in the cafe area. I had a nice fresh orange juice and salad. Hope the club is good. Impressed by the welcome service, currently with David Lloyd and the spa card has not worked for over 2 weeks. Might look at Bannatyne in the future. Charged my car in Broadstairs as well, mangers were nice to talk.
