Special shout outs to cody at front desk and nick in the bar. Yall were amazing and made me feel really special. Keep up the great work. The entire housekeeping team was amazing... sorry i didnt get your names. Thank you to all of the restaurant staff as well. Very accomodating. On to the real review.... i work in the tourist industry and im taught to treat everyone the same. However that was not the case at this hotel with this particular individual. The security guard on resort was rude and inconsiderate. Locked us out of the hotel in the middle of the night and had an attitude when i asked why the door was locked and could not get into the hotel. Two other guest that id become friends with were really annoyed that I was being treated that way. That was a real security issue for me. Suppose i was having a medical emergency amd needed my meds that were in my room.... Not only did he lock us out but the issue with raising the arm for me to park on the property was what pushed it even further. And if that wasnt bad enough, after i paid my money to stay in this place he had the audacity to call my room to tell me my guest had to leave welllll before the time they were suppose to. After registering my guest ,he had the worst attitude. Dont think id be back after that experience with him. Read less

We stayed at South Gap in February and loved it so much we returned ten weeks later. The staff are all so friendly and cannot do enough for you. The rooms are immaculate and so are the communal areas. Will definitely return as soon as possible and will be recommending to any of our friends that are visiting the island.
