There were a few gems here and there the girls working the breakfast buffet were nice and the food was decent but overall it was an extremely bad experience. We had the whole family there and booked 4 rooms but will not be back unfortunately.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE LOVE LOVE this hotels location!!! The ladies at the reception area are top notch friendly and accommodating. The rooms are perfect for 1,2,3, or more. You are only in there to shower eat n sleep. The location is steps from the gorgeous beach, steps from the pool n restaurant, steps from airport, steps from little market and food shacks. It's just a very desirable perfect little piece of heaven I found to enjoy. It's the most relaxing chill place I've ever been too and plan on going back soon!! Lots of couples and families. This is NOT a party rowdie hotel. It is very calm serene relaxing and beautiful. You cook your meals or go to the nearby food court. The only reason for not 5 star...the air conditioners don't work very well. I hate taking a shower n not being able to dry off due to lack of air. Sleeping at night was comfortable for the most part.
It looks pretty well the same. Which I think ois a good thing
Frequented by mostly trinis the rooms are large and old school
Lovely views,
The daytime bar staff are awesome, best pina colada’ ever
Food is adequate
Prices are good
The staff has been mostly great
Messed up check in:
On arrival they messed up our reservation. We booked 2 cabanas and a room but they double booked and asked us to change rooms. First we thought that we had no choice and we were going to agree. Then we asked to keep our original booking and we were eventually able to keep our rooms for which the front staff got mad and annoyed with us for a back and forth that they started in the first place. We did get an early check in for one room.
Double Charging us: so later we went to get the other rooms and they made our old parents pay again even though I had paid for everything already. So disorganized. I hope we eventually get that money back but it’s causing our parents issues with their cards now. They already charged the entire stay at the start, which is bad enough , but to double charge old retired people is disgusting.
No beach towels in a beach hotel: Then we went for towels for the beach , there were no towels in the beach hotel. They could not initially give an estimate. So I asked the manager who was passing if we could use normal room towels. She the laughed at us in a bad condescending way and refused. She treated us like idiots. About 45 mins later we got some but, not enough for all of us.
When we called at about 4.30 pm, they said that Beach towels are only available between 8.00 am and 4.00 pm.
When we checked the front desk at 11.00 am the next morning they said that none were available as they are being washed.
Hopefully we will eventually get towels.
No cooking gas: then we tried to use the stove and it would not light. We had to go ask for gas. They did bring it in good time.
The rooms are not in good shape but that is acceptable if only the staff were half competent and had a real manager.
Owners do something or you will go out of business.
Hopefully we will get some towels and the double charge money back.
To people looking for a hotel , don’t stay here. Instead, stay in Johnston’s appartement on the same compound.
The POSITIVE things: The hotel grounds are lovely and very well maintained. All rooms have a terrace or balcony and most have an excellent view over the garden and the sea. Also all rooms have a well equipped kitchenette. Store Bay beach is right next to the hotel and easily accessible.
The NEGATIVE things. Our Cabana has not had an upgrade since at least 25 years and is very basic. The bathroom fittings are very old. Probably the only recent addition is a hair dryer, but otherwise extremely basic and poor. No toiletries in bathroom except for a few small pieces of cheap soap. TV showing poorly as most channels are seizing up all the time. Also, the tv is wall mounted just below the ceiling so you will get a stiff neck after 5 minutes of watching. Front desk personnel look like they need a vacation themselves.
The area outside the hotel is a dump and not at all adapted for international tourism. We did not feel very safe walking there after dark. To prove my point on our second night on 18 Dec there was a shooting not far from the hotel which left 2 locals dead, drug related according to police.
.
The front desk staff is just sad and a little stand offish, never a warm and welcoming smile you always feel like you are a bother to the front desk staff.
The grounds are gorgeous and a lot of the rooms to the right of the staircase in the lobby are great and the pool is lovely the bar is well stocked and the bar staff are wonderful
The head chef is super friendly and will sit and chat with you.
Les chambres sont grandes.
Seul le restaurant n'est pas du meilleur rapport qualité-prix mais il y a tant de restos à portée de jambes que ce n'est pas grave.
Je recommande
