    No faults.

    The stay on the White Dove was everything and more than expected. If something different, in a very different location, is what you want then Tracey and Johnny are for you. Tracey could not have been more accommodating and the boat is located in a beautiful setting with all amenities very close by. Cannot fault either the team or the accommodation.

    Well it is a boat and it rocks in water, but the marina is in a bay so you don’t have to deal with the open sea waves at all. And the airport runway is about 200m away, so it will be a bit noisy, however the Gibraltar airport sees only a few flights a day so that’s also not that big of a problem.

    The hotel was very conveniently located near some lovely restaurants and shops, and despite being a boat it was still somewhat spacious and had a full kitchen. Granted, this being a small boat the caveat was that the toilet facilities were limited, and full showers were at a nearby marina (2 min walk), but otherwise the stay was pleasant.

    Nothing what cannot be amended or discussed with the owners directly. As well the few dislikes may be more personal preference this time - not sure yet.

    Perfect location and close to everything! It is a well equipped place and very comfortable. How far the bathroom is.. relative. If you have a running stomach or you cannot move well because of disabilities/injury it may be, otherwise the quality makes the distance shorter. :) ... The breakfast was good also at The Ship (not this :) ), there are generally good restaurants around. Also to mention Simon/his wife who used to do pickup services - I met with Simon and cannot recommend more anyone for such assignment (and many other things).

    The toilets are a 3 minutes walk away which was fine and anyone reading prior reviews will know that. Unfortunately the two (wee only( toilets onboard both smell bad and this pervaded the boat for a few days until I could air it properly. Would have been a perfect experience if these had been deodorised before my arrival.

    Fantastic location, 10 minutes from airport, 5 minutes to bus station, and within 25 to cable car. I stayed in Little Dove, the yacht next to Jasmine Coral Jay, and had the boat to myself. Neat and tidy inside with a heater which was helpful.

    It is different to stay on a boat, a lovely deck for relaxing (if staying in 'deluxe' room). Comfy and quirky. Please note, showers and toilet for number 2s are off boat (literally 90 second walk), but are high quality and clean), breakfast is at a cafe a few minutes walk from the boat and was fairly decent. Enjoyed the stay, thank you.

    Nothing 😀

    The boat is in a central location, close to bars and the city centre is within walking distance. They have a beer fridge on board, which is operated on a honesty policy. The owners are really friendly and do their best help.

    Could be noisy when people returned at night and in the morning when up early it was difficult not to make noise as communal area was above rooms. Although this didn't really bother us.

    Great location in the marina not far from restaurants and bars. Cheap alcohol could be purchased on the boat and tea and coffee and water was available.

    I would have liked to breakfast on the boat, however the breakfast was good at the Ship 😁

    The marina location was ideal for my yacht training course, and as it happens for access to the old town and climbing the Rock. I like the informality and found Tracy really helpful and friendly with advice and guidance on details related to the course and sightseeing 👍

    A very unusual experience
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Deluxe Double Room with Balcony and Sea View
    • Stayed 3 nights

    Cons: The boast is tired, and though it does not go to sea any more, there is still smell inside, of old stuff and gasoline as well. Breakfast is in a cafe on shore, which nice, but toilet for number 2 and shower is on the pier as well, which is a little bit more challenging. Also, it is a small boat so you literally hear all the noises other guests are making, which can be just disturbing or altogether embarassing. And one final piece of advise. Book the Deluxe Double Room with Balcony and Sea View if you have a chance. This cabin at least has some light in it through the windows and is above sea level. All other cabins have tiny portholes for windows and are very dark and dank.

    I absolutely liked the Ocean Village in general and JASMINE CORAL JAY Boutique Boatel in particular. Very unusual experience if you have never slept on a boat. I have, so I more or less knew what to expect and was prepared for all the pros and cons. Pros: The boat rocks you to sleep in the night and is moored right in the middle of the spectacular Ocean Village, easy walking distance to the historic city center and literally next door (boat) to the dolphin safari tours.
