Newtown Holidays from £1,409

The property was clean inside and out. We had an issue with our AC and they moved us immediately. You will definitely need a car, a driver or taxi to get to restaurants etc.

Given the ratings/reviews & my experience with similar caliber properties around the world, I was disappointed in certain things. The security guard at the front gate of the property was extremely rude. Didn't welcome us but asked what we were doing there. Our driver was very taken back by his behavior & said he's never seen anyone so rude at this establishment. Two days prior to arrival, I was sent an email form w/ one of the questions asking when we'd be arriving. I selected the noon-2pm option & we arrived at 12:30pm. We were told that we were going to have to wait until 3pm to be taken to our villa. Check in had been advertised as 3pm, so I'm not exactly sure why they even provided a noon-2pm option on the form - it was misleading & set wrong expectations. They took our luggage to the villa & told us we could utilize the pool or beach while we waited. Well, our bathing suits were in our luggage so they had to fetch our luggage so we could change into our bathing suits. 3pm rolls around and no word. We ask at the pool bar & someone comes to us at 3:15pm to let us know we would be picked up in about 15min. Having to wait until AFTER the advertised check in time when we had been waiting 3hrs was extremely irritating. Another disappointment was the lack of bathroom toiletries that would be default at other places of this cost. Blackout blinds on 3 walls of windows but not the 4th in the bedroom. The view, privacy, activities, & hostess were great.

I enjoyed my stay at the hotel but the only thing is the lack of activity maybe it was there slow season

The rooms were lovely and clean, with plenty of room and a huge bed. Great views out of the window, even with a city view room. The pool area was small but never really busy, and very relaxing watching the sea. The food at the restaurant was amazing and the staff were very attentive. We were able to book a range of tours from the knowledgable concierge (the whale watching and sunset cruise is an must) and the reception were very friendly. The location is very convenient and all in all, we had a fantastic trip and would highly recommend.

We absolutely loved this hotel. It is away from the hustle and bustle, making it very relaxing and peaceful. The beach is not one to spend a lot of time on, as it has a lot of seaweed and is home to the turtle breeding program, but the pool is great for a swim. The food from the restaurant was very good with plenty of options, including local cuisine. Although it is not easy to explore on foot from the hotel, there were a number of trips you can take and the hotel driver was really friendly and informative about the island. The evenings brought a few bugs, but listening to the sea and wildlife was heaven. There is a great startup rum distillery 5 minutes away, which raise money for the turtle program. The spa is also a must as well - a great way to end our holiday.
