Caribbean Scuba Diving Holidays

Just a great resort for the price.

Always someone making the grounds beautiful. Everyone worked together to keep the grounds and accommodations in excellent shape. Very impressed.

We spent three nights at the British Colonial. The room was large, clean, quiet, and the bed was comfortable. The pool area in general is well maintained, the gym is well equipped, and the staff were consistently friendly. However, a few things fell short. The shower had very low water pressure, and the beach and pool loungers are quite worn and uncomfortable. We also found the on site dining expensive for the quality. We chose the hotel for its downtown location, but many nearby restaurants close early due to catering to cruise traffic, so we ended up taking taxis elsewhere most evenings. Our “garden view” faced a courtyard and another building, which was disappointing. On our final morning, housekeeping entered shortly after knocking, well before checkout time. Overall, a comfortable stay, but not quite the experience we expected for the price.

Room was nice clean but smaller than i believes it to be from the advertisement on Expedia

The hotel has a strong reputation, so our expectations were understandably high. Unfortunately, there were significant issues that prevent me from giving it a 5-star rating. 1) The Smell – Buffet Restaurant The sewage smell inside the main buffet restaurant was unbearable. This is not a minor issue — it is a place where guests eat breakfast and lunch daily. I was fortunate to have Premium access, which allowed us to dine on the first floor and outdoors, avoiding most of the problem. However, I find it difficult to understand how a property of this caliber can allow such a persistent odor in a primary dining area. 2) The Staff Service was inconsistent and often disappointing. A large portion of the staff appeared disengaged or inattentive. Service was slow, and basic requests — such as ordering an orange juice — would either take an excessive amount of time or never arrive at all. This happened repeatedly during both breakfast and lunch. For a resort that markets itself as high-end, the level of attentiveness simply did not meet expectations. On a positive note, the infrastructure itself is solid. The property offers good food, beverages, activities for children, and enjoyable beach options. From a facilities standpoint, it has everything needed for a pleasant stay. Overall, we had an “OK” experience, but given the issues mentioned above, I am not certain we would return.

This is the place to be! Great staff, amazing food and access to Dreams across the street giving you the best of both worlds!! The room was gorgeous and even though it was all inclusive they weren’t cheap about it. High quality drinks and food daily!

Property was beautiful and to die for. Everything was so nice and service was great. Drinks had the right amount of pizazzz lol. Celebrated my 25th birthday here and it was great. Room service came on time. Variety of things to immerse yourself in throughout the day or just relax.

The staff is superior to any other place, the food is top tier, the beach is amazing. Will continue to go back

Clean room, lovely staff. They fall down on their reception where the staff are not well trained and the atmosphere gloomy. Needs a makeover
