10/10 Exceptional
13 Feb 2023
Beautiful property, exceptional service
The service here was truly exceptional - from front desk to restaurant to beach to drivers, the people here were incredibly friendly, thoughtful, and proactive. The common areas of the property itself are also gorgeous - architecturally striking and beautifully appointed. The views of the ocean from the main property are stunning. And Prickly Pear Island is a beautiful beach, with some calm wading water on the south side.
Only two issues with the property (whether these end up being important to you depends on your preference). First, our room had a slightly moldy smell (a side effect of the humid climate, doubtless, but unfortunate nonetheless). Second, the beach at the main property (north-facing, not the Prickly Pear beach) is much rougher and less swimmable than the perfect placid Caribbean beach you might envision (an artifact of it being on the north side of the island - nothing specific to the property). The perfect calm waters are found by Dickinson Bay and Jolly Harbour. The hotel is happy to arrange a taxi for you to those places, but if you're looking to walk to the beach and spend lots of time in the water (especially with small kids), you might be better served staying in one of those areas.
Overall though - a beautiful property, great people, and a compelling value proposition for most potential guests.
