Saint Patrick Vacations & Trips from $1,290

We enjoyed the pool and utilized the store

There is no elevator in this hotel and that is not advertised at all, but should be. After being told at check in that we would be moved the following morning to a first floor since a member of our family could hardly walk up and down the steps, that did not happen. There was a lot of steps to walk down to get to the ocean, however, once there, the view was amazing. Ended up leaving the vacation early because it was too painful to continue to walk the steps to get to the room. There was a wedding event one evening so the entire pool area was closed for all of the other hotel guests. The staff was friendly and the views were beautiful.

Very welcoming and fantastic location.

The property is beautiful! The restaurant food is all very delicious. Staff is very personable and friendly. My complaints: It takes very long to receive food whether that is restaurant dining or in room dining. I will say that whenever we asked for something, other than food, service was very prompt. I wish there were activities like yoga or on site. They need a spa!! (They did call a local spa to come to my villa and provide services and it was great)

Overall, this is a beautiful resort with some highs and a few frustrating downsides. I’d rate it an 8/10. The property itself is stunning, and the beach is absolutely beautiful. The food was honestly a standout—10/10 across the board. The complimentary water sports during the day were also a great perk, and there was rarely much of a wait for those. That said, the room could have been cleaner, and the mini fridge isn’t restocked unless you specifically ask, which felt like something that should be automatic. Service overall was mixed—some staff were excellent, but others weren’t very friendly and didn’t seem too welcoming. One big thing: I would not recommend getting a butler. It really didn’t add much value and was actually a bit inconvenient at times. The only real benefit was helping secure beach or pool chairs, which are otherwise very hard to get. If you skip the butler, I’d suggest renting a cabana instead—the service there was better anyway. The boat transfer to the hotel was nice and scenic, but not necessarily faster than taking a cab, especially since there was still a wait. Be prepared for “island time”—service can be slow, whether it’s waiting for food at restaurants or getting assistance from staff. Also, the crowd tends to be older (50s–60s), and things quiet down pretty early, so don’t expect much nightlife after 11pm. The weather was a mix of sun and quick rain showers, but it didn’t take away from the experience since it usually cleared up fast.
