A lovely resort that’s becoming tired. Plunge pools are not clean. The filter doesn’t appear to work. Bar supplies run out. Hit and miss with restaurant service, although most of the time it’s very good especially Naisha. Air conditioning breaking down. The only place to escape the heat is your room which isn’t great if the air conditioning is broken. The birds are a problem at breakfast and lunch and there is not much action being taken to remedy the situation. It was the same a year ago! However, the biggest problem and not the resorts fault is the mosquitoes! ‘Fogging’ has increased to twice weekly but I don’t believe this has helped. Should be daily really. Food is really good and a La carte as opposed to buffet style. The Friday night ‘karaoke’ is unbelievable bad. It belongs in a 3 star Spanish hotel not an adults only ‘escape’. Avoid at all cost. Feedback on this style of entertainment wasn’t taken onboard. It is incomparable to the steel band at the Wednesday night BBQ. They were superb! Shirley Heights is great. Definitely recommend Green island as well. Read less

Had such high hopes and left really disappointed. The food was poor, some of the staff were bordering on rude, the ambiance is really difficult to pin down. Would not return, saving grace was the fact we hired a car so could visit the rest of this beautiful island

We have recently returned from our 3rd visit to The Escape and sadly this will probably be our last. We came back because we loved the peace and quiet of the resort along with the beautiful rooms, great staff and fantastic food and drinks but that's not what we got this year. Firstly though, I want to mention a few of the staff who did live up to our previous exprience, Naisha is fantastic we love her and along with both Ivana and Maxine in the restaurant and KC behind the bar, worked very hard to try and ensure the guests get the best service. One thing we can recommend very highly as well is the picnic on Green Island, from the ride there with Devon from Heaven to the great food and beautiful island it really was perfect. Unfortunately though that's where it stops, firstly the hotel has started taking larger groups which has a massive impact on the service provided through no real fault of the staff. As far as we're concerned we booked this is a couples resort so accepting groups of 6, 8 & 10 who sit down to eat at the same time as everyone else is never going to end well, we often waited over 30mins for drinks at meal times and generally ended up going and getting them ourselves along with long waits for the food itself. The rooms weren't as clean as in the past and although still lovely, are now starting to look a little tired especially the day bed by the plungepool. The same can be said for the beds around the main pool, some of the covers had cigarette burns in them and they generally looked very worn. We also felt that some of the vegetation needed to be cut back around the bar area as, if you were sitting having a drink at one of the tables, you couldn't enjoy the view of the bay which is such a shame as it is very beautiful. The other thing that's changed which we weren't keen is that that they now have much more entertainment in the evenings which I know is a very personal view but if we wanted that kind of resort we would have gone elsewhere. This place was special because you really could "Escape" from everyday life and relax fully but for us that sadly isn't the case anymore Read less
