“Honeymoon Bliss”

My husband and I stayed Montpelier the beginning of November 2006 for a 9 day honeymoon. The service and attention to detail at Montpelier is extraordinary. Upon arrival we were greeted with cold towels, a hotel tour and two glasses of rum punch. We were too tired for dinner, which is an event, and were pleased to have a wonderful meal in our room. As for the event of dinner, each night there is a three course meal, with the menu posted mid-day for you to savour over the choices. Each meal is unique and an exciting culinary experience. Prior to the meal you have the option to sit in the "great room" for cocktails and meet with other guests. We spent our days enjoying the beach, the pool and the occasional hike. It was pure relaxation. We were usually the only guests at the beach, which is located about 20 minutes from the actual property. They have a bartender at the beach, which always seemed silly as there were usually only two of us. The picnic lunch is a must - it was delicious! The pool is fresh water and as at the beach, we were usually the only guests enjoying the pool. Oh, and of course, the tea and scones every afternoon. My husband and I would play scrabble, enjoy the owners beautiful dogs and eat every last crumb of our scones. We stayed in a basic room, which was simply decorated and comfortable. There were mosquitos and some ants, but overall it was hard to fault the hotel for the bugs when you're right near a rainforest.

“Perfect place for rest and relaxation”

My husband and I stayed at the Montpelier for six nights in May. While the property is well maintained, I expected a bit more in a Relais and Chateaux establishment. Upon arrival we were greeted with a welcome drink and fresh cold towels which was a plus. I thorougly enjoyed the breakfast each morning. The homemade jams and curd were to die for. The staff were very friendly as well as attentive. My biggest complaint were the numerous ants in the room. We literally had a trail of ants crawling up the wall. We met our guests at the hotel who too had an ant problem and were told Montpelier staff changed their room without hesitation. Overall, we had a great time. If you are looking for R&R, this is the place for you. The atmosphere is so serene. I was able to finish a book in three days. The sounds of the creatures at night were soothing to my ears.
