Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was truly memorable. The rooms were spacious, with a lovely large patio to enjoy the morning with a cup of coffee, and the thoughtful welcome treats added a special touch. However, the rooms tended to get quite hot during the afternoon. The service was top-notch, and the staff made sure every aspect of my stay was comfortable. The secluded location offered stunning views, but it might require transportation arrangements. The dining experience was exceptional, with unforgettable meals against a picturesque backdrop. The facilities were excellent, providing everything needed for a relaxing stay.
My stay at the resort was a mixed experience. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, but the overall decor was just OK. The service was polite and attentive, with staff members accommodating our requests, but there were some rude and inconsiderate encounters that marred the experience. The location, nestled within a cocoa plantation and offering lush surroundings, was stunning, yet there were disappointments compared to other nearby attractions. The dining was exceptional, especially after previous stays at other properties, offering a significant upgrade. The facilities were generally good, enhancing the overall stay.
From the faded signboard to the open layout, the rooms were well-decorated with relaxing colors and comfy furniture. However, the service was a bit lacking with unsmiling staff. The lush location had a chic vibe, and the dining offered brilliant food. The facilities were top-notch, making for a memorable stay overall.
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The rooms were very spacious and comfortable, with a stunning view. However, there was no protection from insects on the balcony. The service was top-notch, with extraordinarily helpful staff. The location was quiet and secluded, offering a breathtaking view of the Petit Piton. The dining experience was extremely good, and the facilities were well-maintained.
The hotel offers stunning rooms with a breathtaking view of the Pitons and the rainforest. The complimentary treats and the personal touch with a bottle of rose for our wedding were delightful. Checking out early was the only downside as we didn't want to leave this paradise.
The hotel offers a unique experience with rooms open to nature, welcoming lizards and birds, though it can get hot in the afternoon. The decoration could use some updates. Service was exceptional, and the whole staff, including Shorna and the bartender, was marvelous. However, the overpriced and unflavored food in the restaurant was a downside. The location offers stunning views of the Piti Piton, but it's secluded, requiring transportation. The dining experience was memorable, especially in the open-air restaurant with breathtaking views.
