The hotel

This beautifully positioned adults-only resort has a range of individual pastel-painted cottages with some of the most spectacular views on the island. There's two plunge pools and two infinity pools, one perched on the cliff edge, and you'll find yourself relaxing here as soon as you see the view. The main restaurant is on three different levels and enjoys alfresco breezes, while Sheer Rocks restaurant offers delicious gourmet cuisine with individual booths for extra privacy all overlooking the beautiful bay. There's a 'Wellness Cottage' that offers a range of wonderful treatments. On either side of the bluff lie two beautiful beaches, with a third within walking (or kayaking) distance!

Staff is super friendly and will go out of their way to ensure your stay is comfortable. We traveled here for our honeymoon and couldn’t think of a more perfect place. Relaxing, quiet, and intimate place to spend time with a loved one. Food was not the same & rotated nightly. Bar staff was super friendly. Massages were incredible!

AMAZING time here, clean, food was great, very intimate and quiet. Always had our own space to ourselves and never had to rush to get a beach chair, to dinner, etc. Rarely had to wait in line for anything - staff was one of the best I have ever come across at a resort. Highly recommend this place we plan to definitely come back.

One of the nicest hotels we have stayed at in the Caribbean. I was a little concerned that only having one restaurant the meals would be disappointing. But I couldn’t have been more wrong! The food was excellent - very well presented and nice sensible portions. The staff were all friendly and helpful. So why only 4 stars? The main pool was stunning but the second pool by the beach was a little run down. There was no private beach and the small public beach accessible from the hotel was a bit run down. At night the resort could have been better lit. But overall I would highly recommend this resort Read less
