Recreation Ground Tours

The staff was super nice and accommodating! The grounds were beautiful too! Food, for the most part, was pretty good too. The not so nice…Bumpy start when they put me in a room with no windows and a solid door that smelled like a basement! They made it right when I asked to be moved, which I appreciated. Not sure why they’d ever put a guest in there, could make the room better by putting in a sliding glass door in. I’ve never been at an “all inclusive” where the mini bar is empty… The rooms can use an upgrade, nothing modern about them.

We had a fantastic relaxing stay at the escape. It’s such a relaxing place and you really do feel chilled. The chefs really do deserve praise, we never had a bad meal. Ingredients are fresh and we honestly can’t fault it. Portion sizes are spot on. The Antiguan breakfast should be offered more regularly than just once a week. The waiting staff are a credit to you especially Maxine, Maudrina and Charles on the bar. The island picnic is a must it’s amazing. Just somethings to note. Reception is open 9 till 6 We did try the steak & lobster (only half a lobster is what you are served) one evening which you do incur a surcharge for. We didn’t mind paying this as we had supposedly got 20% off food with our VIP EXPEDIA Perk. Sadly this was not the case when the bill was queried on the day before we left. We were informed that it was only on the food experiences that you can have in your room. Which we found incredibly strange as you would think it would be off the menu in the restaurant! Sadly this did get our backs up. When it was mentioned to Randy that this should have been mentioned before. We felt it was brushed over and that’s how it is. We did enjoy having a spa treatment each and that was also very relaxing. Again we did have to flag up the 20% off spa treatments which was included in our stay luckily there was no arguments on this one. We did seem to have the garden room that was next to where the staff seem to go in and out of a lot. Which can be quite noisy.

We’re a young couple, had a nice time. I’ll give you the Cole’s notes review. Food was above average, staff was not friendly or accommodating at all, diamond club really isn’t worth it, the property is quite nice. All in all if you think you’re getting a good deal on the vacation then it’s worth it.
