We stayed here for 3 nights in February before going to Rex Grenadian forthe rest of our holiday. The quality and presentation of the food was pretty poor. For a Caribbean island the amount of fresh fruit was very limited. The lock on the patio door was broken and we were expected to use a metal bar to keep the... More

Having stayed at other all inclusive resorts around this area which were a little more pricy I would say you get what you pay for here. I was on a bit of a budget ,so stayed here for 3 nights then Almond Beach Village for 2 nights with my son. The room was large, comfortable and clean with more than... More

Food is terrible, I can say the worst experience I've ever had. Nothing was good accept burgers made near the pool (even if the quality of the meat was poor). After the first meal we had to decide to eat out for the rest of the holiday! And thanks to that decision we went in a wonderful restaurant called il... More

Small hotel in Holetown, the town being within easy walking distance. I have stayed here five times, and hope to return next year. All the Staff are very friendly and accommodating with any special requests. Very good value for money. More

I can fully understand some reviews that criticise the rooms in particular at this hotel. They are dated and the bathrooms need something spending on them. However....this hotel is in central Holetown where costs are usually sky high and this place is far better value. There are few better placed hotels than this; right on the beach, all rooms are...

Returned from a 2 week stay at Discovery Bay in an ocean view room having stayed there 27 years ago and yes it has changed but still a lovely hotel. It is well located, easy walking distance to Holetown. The gardens are well kept and give a feeling of space, unlike some hotels in the area. Pool clean and never... More
