    This is a very small and quiet family run hotel right by the sea. The type of location I enjoy!

    I'm not currently able to identify a dislike

    The local breakfast was as expected. The small family run hotel requires that you place your breakfast request the night before and your evening meal request after breakfast. Housekeeping is done on a daily basis!

    Peace, views and total relaxation - must not miss-out the deliciously prepared meals

    All meals were local and freshly prepared. All staff members and local chefs did their very best to meet our request. Perfect location sea and mountain views and complete relaxation.

    The Jamaican breakfasts were excellent - especially the ackee and salt fish and the callaloo. The fried dumplings were light and fresh. The escovitch with steamed bammy and the fried chicken were also excellent. The staff were friendly, efficient and low key. I had a restful and enjoyable time

    Unfortunately the pool was out of action no discount was provided for this shortfall of a main amenity offered by the venue We stayed on this trip 4 nights and on a couple of days the hot water was not very warm The TV system also did not work for a couple of days of our stay not the end of the world but it increased our reliance on WiFi which we found to be very slow and encountered a lot of buffering in utilising phone apps etc. I do hope they rectify the pool situation which appeared to be out of action for some weeks If not they need to update their facilities profile accordingly I would still recommend the venue despite these shortcomings especially for us it was the location aspect that mattered the most. Let's hope they resolve these issues before our next stay especially the pool.

    We choose this venue for its location plus it has the advantage of a swimming pool. Towel service is very good and staff are generally helpful and friendly

    The staff could put a smile on. The energy of the staff is low. The friend I had with me said she was afraid to ask for anything because the staff acted as if she was a bother. I myself could feel it but wasn’t bothered by it. I have a good relationship with the staff because it’s my second time there. My guest was definitely uncomfortable. I hope it changes because I book my American guests here. Everything else about the place is amazing. Location, view, pool available, great food.

    Breakfast was good ambience was perfect!

    The hotel owner needs to upgrade some of the furniture in the rooms and around the swimming pool area. The room patio door was difficult to open and shut. The patio was lovely but could use a chair and table to look at the view.

    Well located, good size rooms and swimming pool. Exceptional staff who are an asset to the hotel.

    The reception staff that took over from Ms Browns shift. They were rude and dismissive, made it difficult for me to communicate with them. They were often sat outside chatting amongst themselves which meant I had to awkwardly break up the chat to request service. They could learn a thing or too from ms brown.

    It was clean, quiet and comfortable. Ms Brown was warm friendly and kind. Nothing was too much for her. She executed excellent customer service. Security was good. The view from my room was beautiful.

    You had to put in orders for dinner too far in advance but Fish Cove Restaurant and Bar was close by and you are able to get almost anything there. It’s less than 10 mins by car.

    The room was clean, the room was sufficiently large, the room had sufficient sockets and spaces to work, the view from the room was awesome, I had a large private balcony, the ac worked and worked very well and the staff was pleasant and attentive without being overly friendly.

    The breakfast was very good and the staff was wonderful; very friendly. They were very helpful. I had a family function which everyone enjoyed. The function room was nicely decorated by the staff. Because of the rain I did not get a chance to walk around the property but from what I saw I would go back.

    What I didn’t love about the room was the bed and the pillows where uncomfortable it was so hard. The bath room needs some tender love care with the cosmetic. The wall plug in the where limited.

    What I did love was the worker was amazing and the place was very clean and the food was delicious how ever the service took forever.

    no beach and a working pool, more comfortable bed and pillows, the bed was very ridged, none support pillows.

    Breakfast was very good, however, you need to order overnight and service was very slow! they are willing to cook special food if you provide the raw material that they do not have in stock. That is a great service!!

    Unprofessional staff members arguing within earshot of guests. Also, getting access to the property was a problem, the gates took forever to be opened. The meals need to be addressed, not good value for your money. The meals were tasty and attractive, but the serving was way too small.

    The room was clean and cozy.
