Parking outside the cliffside rooms was tight and difficult so we ended up parking in the other parking lot down the road. Breakfast service was extremely slow so we didn’t use the restaurant again. Pictures of beach are misleading. There is a tiny patch of sand when the tide isnt in. We cut our stay short as we found somewhere else to stay.

Everything about Sebastian's was easy, relaxed, and attractive. The staff was friendly and attentive. The restaurant doubled as an internet café any time of day, and I enjoyed every meal, each beautifully prepared with very fresh food. Great time!

We stayed in the Azalea Villa a Junior Suite. It was located up the hill from the main hotel. We were not allowed to park near our villa so we had to park down the hill and walk up it. Not convenient and its on top of a hill where cars come around the corner pretty fast, so you need to be careful walking down/up the hill. The first two nights of our trip, the shower did not work. We arrived late at night the first night and notified the staff the next day, but no one came to look at it until the third day. The shower also did not drain and that never got fixed during our trip either. The villa is on the water and the noise of the waves crashing onto the rocks is really loud and makes it hard to sleep. The room is definitely not sound proof and the glass on the sliding doors was damaged so you couldn't see out. Only one of the doors was not clouded over. There was construction next door and we realized that the glass above our main door going into the Villa was in direct view of the construction/workers going on next door. Not ideal. The door going into the Villa also opens out, and not in, so its a safety concern too. The furnishings are very dated but I understand that it is getting updated. There is a window above the bathroom as well...don't turn the light on at night if someone is sleeping, you'll light up the whole villa. The cleaning staff was nice and came regularly, the porter was as helpful as he could be, and staff was generally friendly. The restaurant was ok.

Had the ocean side balcony room and it was truly unforgettable. This is a private, quiet non-commercial property that was a joy. I had my morning coffee on the balcony while checking out the latest on my computer. The internet signal was strong throughout my stay! A rental car is a necessity as one can easily tire of the limited restaurant menu and you'll want to tour the island. New Town Car Rental is just up the road and Alex will pick you up at the ferry and bring you and the car to Sebastians, thereby saving an expensive taxi ride on each end of your trip. Of course, I'm looking forward to returning!

Our stay was excellent and the staff was very professional, courteous and kind. This hotel was unique and perfect for what we wanted. This is not like a Marriott property or other updated hotel, but the lodging and accommodations were clean and well-maintained. We stayed in the villa, which had an excellent view of the ocean, which was beautiful to wake up to every morning, anything we needed we were able to call the front desk and they responded promptly and effectively I would highly recommend this property in the Sebastian Villa, as well as the restaurant was very good reasonably priced with delicious food and good entertainment: walking distance from our room. Parking near the room was a little tight however, there’s ample parking space closer to the hotel, which is free, safe and easy to access. We will certainly be back to visit Sebastian.

The property was in a good location, right on the beach and we could walk to other beaches nearby. When it says 'garden view' on the booking we were expecting this out the window but this was actually outside the door to the room, this should probably be clarified when booking or removed. A very small room but quite good amenities, apart from the shower which took approximately 5 minutes to heat up, ok if youre the second person showering.

Everything is in the mountains. The property was nice. Beds were comfortable. There is a tourist book in rooms that needs to be updated. Went to the onsite restaurant and they didn't have what the book said they had. The restaurant, Sebastain's Seaside Grille didn't have any dessert (banana splits) even though it was on their menu. The food however, was tasty and the service was great! Staff: Ricoya H., Prudence, and the bartender Dwayne are very friendly and welcoming. Joey (the owner's grandson) was super nice and helpful and the office staff: Annalisa, and two other people (I totally can't remember their names) were so nice and very helpful with suggestions on places to visit to upgrades on my room. I would definitely recommend staying at Sabastian's on the Beach.

Restaurant was great (conch fritters were fantastic). We had rental car and this had easy parking lot, and quick access to other restaurants in area and some of the greatest beaches. We even rented snorkeling gear from hotel lobby and used them for day up in Brewers Bay. We would return to this place.

We absolutely loved this hotel. We stayed there one night before our catamaran trip. We had 5 couples, some in the Oceanside suites, some in the garden area. All rooms were fantastic. The staff were sooo nice, food was good at the hotel and just a short walk down from there to another restaurant with a sandy beach, lounge chairs, etc. Food was good there too and again people were so nice. Maybe a 45 cab ride to Hodges Creek Marina but it was worth staying on that side of the island. The waves were wild right close but LOVED the sound and the view OMG.

So, we were sold a property on the beach, with a restaurant and a bar. But there was no beach, the room we booked was sold, the restaurant and bar were closed. The pictures didn’t look like the property Expedia helped us rebook a different property but had this property been up front with us from the get go, that would have helped us avoid a lot of issues on our first day of our honeymoon.
