The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Meals!

During my stay, the dining experience was absolutely amazing! With a fantastic variety of options, the meals were fresh, featuring very nice fish and chicken dishes. I truly appreciated the personal touch from Chef Harris, who made sure each dish was good. From the sublime bottomless salads to the delicious desserts, I was never left wanting to venture off the resort for meals.

Beachfront Bliss

The highlight of my stay was undoubtedly the room's amazing beachfront location. With just a few steps from my patio door, I could easily stroll onto the sandy beach. Each room also boasts an ocean view that took my breath away every morning as I drew the drapes. It was the perfect spot for a relaxing getaway!

Tranquil Relaxation

The atmosphere at Shaw Park Beach Hotel was incredibly peaceful. The hotel's layout had a calming effect, with quiet spaces perfect for unwinding and de-stressing. Whether lounging by the ocean, taking an evening dip in the pool, or simply enjoying the tranquil sounds of the waves, this place was a serene escape that allowed me to truly relax.

Charming Entertainment

One evening, I had the pleasure of enjoying live music at the hotel's lounge. The grand piano in the lobby added such a beautiful touch to the atmosphere. Moments like these made for nice evenings where I could sip on a refreshing drink while listening to talented musicians play. It was charmingly nostalgic and a good aspect of my stay.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While the location was stunning, with a beautiful 1/4 mile private beach in Cutlass Bay, there were also safety concerns. The rooms were not up to par, as I had to pay extra for an additional person, and they lacked cleanliness. The staff tried to make up for it with a bottle of wine, but the outdated property and slow service were disappointing.

I absolutely loved being able to walk right onto the beach from my room, and the Georgian style of the hotel was charming. However, the initial room I had was a disaster with peeling walls in the shower and no hot water for days, but thankfully I was moved to a better room eventually. The cleanliness of the hotel overall seemed lacking.

My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant, with bright and airy rooms conveniently located right on the beach. However, the cleanliness could be improved, and some furniture in the lobby needs updating. The service was exceptional, arranging a fun boat ride with drinks included.
