The bay is beautiful and hotel just over half an hour from the airport which is extremely convenient. The kids club is fantastic and gym facilities and pool are very good. At this price point I’d expect more from the rooms and restaurants. We’ve had construction work right above our suite which included tile cutting and ultimately brought our bathroom ceiling down. There was no other room or solution offered. We’ve received a complimentary bottle of Prosecco and apology.

Overall nice hotel with wonderful staff and amazing food. When you take a closer look the rooms are a little tired with sheets and towels on the hard side for a 5* resort. They also have an insect problem. You may find something scary in your room like a cockroach or a swam flies blocking the entry to your room which really lets it down.

Carlisle Bay never disappoints, the setting is beautiful, the rooms are absolutely gorgeous and have spectacular views over a wonderful bay and immaculate gardens. Having travelled and stayed on the island for over 30 years I can honesty say that the food and service is the best that we have experienced. This has been our third consecutive visit and we can’t wait to come back. Hopefully the summer refurbishment will not take away any if it’s charm. Thank you for the most welcomed relaxing break.

The beach is gorgeous and the staff are fantastic. Good selection of non-motorised water sports, bed is comfy and the free minibar (soft drinks only) is a nice touch. Only reasons for 4 not 5 star rating was that I thought the on site restaurants were a little over priced for the food as were the drinks, and shower gels etc we’re not replenished (minor touch I appreciate).

Location is beautiful. It all feels a little tired though and needs a general spruce up to keep up with the competition both on the island and elsewhere. Food is OK bur seems silly to have a sushi restaurant when every ingredient has to be flown in. As a result it’s a bit like buying it from Waitrose! As others have pointed out the breakfast buffet is identical every day and the pastry cabinet looks like something picked out of a skip. Water sports excellent. Some of the staff were a bit miserable but mostly very good. Caribbean I guess. In summary we enjoyed our stay and would go back but some real improvements needed to keep up with the competition and justify the price. Oh and whilst you can eat off site Jolly Harbour is 20 mins and English Harbour 30 minutes so it’s not that easy.
