One of the Best in the Caribbean
One of the biggest draws to this property is there are no children. It is couples only. Therefore, peace and calm surround you. Of course, you will have to put up with the screaming children on the plane ride to and from the island unless you fly private. Also, for boat charters, this is a convenient location. For both of these reasons, this resort beats Jumby Bay. Jumby Bay actually tries to attract families with childrens' programs and, boats won't go all the way to Jumby Bay for charters because its just too far. We never expect the worlds best service in the Caribbean. Let's face it, it's the Caribbean, not Europe. But, we were surprised at this resort at the real desire to please, which we seldom encounter in the Caribbean. Of course, there were minor incidents like bringing items at meals that were not ordered instead of ordered items, then getting 3 different stories about why. Room bars are restocked daily with everything you request: you fill out a request sheet every morning at breakfast asking for liquors, juices, etc to be put into your fridge that day. Facilities were beautiful. The beach and restaurant were never crowded, even at full resort capacity. There were always available beach beds and umbrellas: no mad rush at 7am to get a place on the beach like at many of the rat race resorts. If you want privacy get a hillside bungalow.

Wonderful Stay!
We loved our visit to Hermitage Bay. The hotel is perfect for couples looking for a quiet and relaxing getaway. The hotel's small size ensures that you can truly relax in a beautiful and lush setting. Unlike larger resorts, you don't have to fight for lounge chairs or prime reservations for dinner. Everything is very relaxd, and the staff is incredibly attentive making sure that you have the perfect, stress-free stay. The accomodations are comfortable and quite spacious. Having a beachfront villa enables you to be just a stones throw from the water. The hillside villas are slightly further from the water but have spectacular views with plunge pools that are perfect for the afternoon sun. They are all done in gorgeous dark wood with a very natural feel to them. The food at the hotel was quite good for the Carribbean and certainly plentiful. There were lots of interesting options at all meals. The only downside of the hotel is that the beach has a lot of shells on it. The water is gorgeous (calm and warm), but you don't have the soft sand that you find at some other resorts. Otherwise, it's a beautiful and quiet private beach that is perfect for relaxing, paddle boaridng, or swimming.

Great Honeymoon Spot
Absolutely beautiful hotel! Service was impeccable and the villas were very clean. Food is excellent as well but the evenings are very quiet at this hotel. Opt for the hillside villa for the plunge pool and stunning views! Only real complaint was getting used to the loud birds that would start just before sunrise...you're definitely immersed in nature here!

Beautiful location, excellent staff, good food and drinks, just a great way to relax and enjoy life. There really isn't much more to do here than relax, but maybe that's not a bad thing

great hotel for a romantic getaway
We've stayed at some more expensive resorts in the Caribbean like Caneel Bay and Little Dix Bay, but none matched the service or room/view for Hermitage Bay. We paid extra for a room high up on the hill and it was worth every penny. The walk isn't quick, but you need to burn the calories from all of the great food and drink somehow!

Simply the best
My husband and I just returned from 5 days at Hermitage Bay. We have taken a number of beach vacations over the years, and this was, quite simply, the best ever. Best food, accommodations, staff, setting. Our only regret was that high winds made the snorkeling less than ideal (also, apparently, there are fewer fish around in December.) But we could not recommend this resort more highly.

Unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!! Best place EVER!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely the best, most relaxing place we have ever stayed. The hotel is not all marble and glitz, but that's what makes it perfect. There are no loud casinos or nightclubs, just the sound of the waves, possibly some nice live music during dinner. The food is the best we have ever had, and that includes staying at some of the highest rated hotels is the world. Pure ingredients, most from their own garden. Employees are friendly and helpful. The beach is private and beautiful. No children was a welcomed surprise to me as I have, and love, children but htis is totally a couples getaway. In fact, we did not see any couples who went together or ate together- simply a getaway for a couple, alone, to recharge their batteries. The all-inclusive was great, and the liquers at the restaurant and in the mini-fridges in each room were stocked with very nice, labeled liquer. Can't say enough about this place. The only advise I would give is that the hillside places are a hike up some pretty rough steps, so if you are older or not good at uphill climbs, take the beach cottages (but hte view of the island from the hillside cottages was unbelievable)...Great place!

Relax with luxury !!!
Hermitage Bay is a hotel to relax, with a “private” beach and a nice swimming pool with a bar standing just beside, only you need to do is to lay down and ask for a drink (recommend the Mojito) while relax with the infinite view from the pool to the sea. The staff is very professional and cordial, they are always ready to serve. The environment is calm and integrated with nature. Despite the “all inclusive” system the Hotel has an excellent Chef which makes 3 meals a day an adventurous challenge for your taste, mixing the local grown organic food with seasonings that will make you ask for more … Overall the hotel is excellent to whom want to chill out, everything was perfect the only downgrade is the road to the hotel, free advice : don’t eat before take the road !

Excellent service, quiet luxury.
This is a perfect getaway for a couple or small group, in a beautiful setting. No kids, quiet but there is always life at the bar if you want it. Excellent food and drinks, particularly considering it is all inclusive - no buffets here, and you get what you pay for.

Great all-inclusive resort
The location of the resort is pretty remote, which is great if that is what you are looking for. From the resort, you cannot see any other buildings. There are only 25 suites so there won't be many other guests there either. The beach is pretty nice and the staff did a great job catering to what ever you needed while there. They were quick to come out with towels and cold bottled water and came by frequently in the afternoon with fruit and any kind of drink you may want. The rooms were nice as well. If you are very shy, you may not like the outdoor shower. Although there is a towel rack that hides you from other guests, they could hear you. Nevertheless, there are not many other guests there so it shouldn't be an issue for most. All meals are included. There is only one restaurant at the resort, but it is excellent. It is a sit-down type restaurant. They offer a variety of choices at each meal and the menu changes daily. We were there for 7 days and did not have the same meal twice. The types of food ranged from fresh pasta to fresh local fish to vegetarian dishes. It was quite impressive. During our stay there had been some rain, which led to many mosquitos. This is a problem on the whole island, not just here. Also, at night, there are lots of crickets, big crickets, that make quite a lot of noise. If you are a light sleeper, I suggest some earplugs. Again, this is typical of the whole island. This is a great place for a romantic getaway. Relaxing, remote, and comfortable. The staff goes out of their way to make sure you have everything you need.

Awesome couples get-a-way
The resort is one of the nicest accomidations of its type that my wife and I have experienced. For sure a couples getaway, the rooms, food, drinks & help was at the highest level. There is plenty of simple activity to do...sailing, snorkling, hikeing...on location, or the resort will make arrangements for extended sailing adventures or seadoos. During our 7 day stay, we never got tired of the food...new choices were offered daily...and wherever you chose to eat...at the dining area, around the bar, on the beach, or in your room. To sum up our experience...we never left the property during our 7 day stay. Thanks to the owner and staff for allowing us a wonderful environment to just relax.

Maravillosa estancia en el Hermitage Bay
Hotel Maravilloso. Un nivel de servicio excelente. Hemos estado recientemente y lo recomiendo al 100%. Fuimos mi mujer y yo a celebrar el 50 cumpleaños de ella. Superó todas nuestras expectativas. Lo mejor la tranquilidad que se respira, la playa es maravillosa, la comida muy buena , aunque para los españoles quiza sea un poco cansada, pues es muy de diseño y la materia prima es muy de allí, logicamente.Imperdible hacer snorkel con la gente del hotel, que te llevan a una zona muy buena.

Traumhaft - von A bis Z
Wahrer Luxus ist wenn man so Urlaub machen kann, wie man es selbst möchte - das Hermitage Bay erlaubt seinen Gästen sich komplett zu erholen. Die Anlage ist klein, fein und nach höchstem Standard ausgestattet. Als Gast fühlt man sich "zuhause". All inclusive ohne genervt zu werden - persönlicher Service und freundliche Kompetenz mit hervorragendem Essen. Klares Wasser, weisser Sandstrand, herrlich weiche Strandliegen oder doch lieber gemütlich am Pool verweilen und auf's Meer schauen? Alles möglich, und mehr! Wassersport, Ausflüge, kochen mit dem Chefkoch, alles ist machbar, nichts ein Muss. Erholen und die "Seele baumeln lassen" - bis zur Perfektion. Ein Traum von A (aufstehen) bis Z (ZZZZ).
