Reviews and Ratings
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 The staff tried to make up for it with a bottle of wine, but the outdated property and slow service were disappointing.
The hotel gave me a mixed experience with rooms that needed improvement but eventually got better, friendly service, and a great location overlooking the sea. The cleanliness was a concern, but the staff made up for it with their attentiveness.
The hotel provided rooms that were initially unfit for occupancy, with peeling walls in the bathroom and issues with hot water and toilets. However, after a room change, the new room was slightly better. Cleanliness throughout the hotel was clearly not a priority, with dirty furniture and carpets in common areas.
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. The dining experience was good but pricey, with organic options available. The location was great, lacking some amenities but offering beautiful views of the sea.
