privately owned boutique hotel within walking distance of Paynes bay and a choice of restaurants. Large well kept gardens with a choice of swimming pools. Limited choice of restaurants on property but all units have modern well equipped kitchens or kitchenette. Service standards were high and all staff friendly and helpful. Large free car park if you rent a car or bus stop directly outside property for buses either north to holetown or south to bridgetown. The one bedroom units are large and well maintained with a large balcony, fully equipped for self catering of required. The only downside is the property fronts a busy main road with a lot of traffic noise when either in the room or round two of the three pools. There are some units at the back of the property that are probably quieter. Read less

large clean rooms with kitchenette are great or quick snacks. TV was iffy. Internet was excellent. Onsite restaurant was very expensive but good. There is an onsite coffee hut. Excellent shower/bathroom for early arrivals or late departure is a big asset. Bed not the greatest but ok

This is our second visit and as with the first visit we thoroughly enjoyed our time with you. Your staff are friendly, courteous, and professional. especially your restaurant staff I would like to add feed back regarding the bathrooms. they are dark for getting ready and the mirror is not good for men shaving or women for makeup, a magnifying mirror would be perfect. Also it would be beneficial to have a toilet brush in the bathroom. We look forward to visiting you again in March. Please thank the whole team for making our holiday relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable Read less
