Reviews and Ratings
I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The swim-up room was definitely worth the extra money, with a good size and a decent balcony overlooking the beautiful pools and just a short walk to the beach. The service was exceptional, and the location, although tranquil, allowed easy access to other attractions and restaurants. The dining experience was delightful, although a bit pricey for some options.
I was delighted with this hotel! The rooms are simply amazing, modern, and spacious, and the garden leading to the beach is a real treat. The service was outstanding, exceeding my expectations with a friendly and welcoming attitude from everyone. The location is unbeatable, a short stroll to Holetown with great shopping and dining options. The dining experience was a highlight, offering a fantastic spread and entertainment. The facilities are top-notch, providing everything needed for a memorable stay.
I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were spacious, clean, and beautifully designed, with a lovely balcony that gave direct access to the pool area. However, the sunken bath/shower could be challenging for older guests. The service was top-notch, very attentive and customer-focused, always going the extra mile to ensure a great experience. The location was perfect, right on the beach and within walking distance of Holetown's restaurants. While the dining options were good, prices were a bit steep. Overall, a fantastic experience with minor drawbacks.
I couldn't have asked for a better hotel location; just steps away from the beach and plenty of dining options nearby. The rooms, though slightly dated, were clean and comfortable, and the staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly. However, the dining experience left a bit to be desired with limited options. The pool area was well-kept and a great spot to relax. Overall, a good value for the money, but be aware that Wi-Fi is not included in the price.
The hotel offers a stunning beachfront location with friendly staff and a comfortable stay. However, some areas, like the rooms, might need a bit of updating. The dining experience was a mix of delicious dishes but with limited native cuisine options. Exploring the island from this location is convenient, with various dining choices nearby.
