We have had an exceptional experience at Cap Maison. We were made to feel welcome from the moment we arrived and the top service remained for the whole of our stay. All the staff were excellent and nothing was too much trouble. I could mention many of them but would particularly like to mention Nella who served drinks at breakfast and at the poolside, always with a ready smile. We had a few snatched conversations by the pool and Nella showed herself to be thoughtful, perceptive and highly intelligent. A huge thank you to everyone at this very special and beautiful resort for giving us a holiday of a lifetime which was much needed after a sad bereavement. Read less

My wife and I stayed at Cap Maison the first week of March 2025. We stayed in unit 44, which is a condo-like unit with 1BR/1.5BA, a full kitchen, washer/dryer, large living room a rooftop pool and large lounging area with full-size dining table/chairs, and two additional outdoor patio areas (one with some loungers outside the BR and one with a … Read more
My wife and I stayed at Cap Maison the first week of March 2025. We stayed in unit 44, which is a condo-like unit with 1BR/1.5BA, a full kitchen, washer/dryer, large living room a rooftop pool and large lounging area with full-size dining table/chairs, and two additional outdoor patio areas (one with some loungers outside the BR and one with a breakfast table and living area outside the living room). Pros: - Views of the Caribbean Sea from the unit and the resort are unbeatable. - Service is top-notch. Anything we asked for was provided. - The semi-private beach was a nice touch. Some complain about the 92 stairs leading down to it, but I thought that was a plus as it provided a unique beach venue. - Food at both the Naked Fisherman (located down at the beach) and the Cliff (located on the main resort) were both really good, but had some issues (e.g. the oil that our fries were cooked in at the Naked Fisherman was clearly old and needed changing. Anything other than seafood will been hit or miss (except for the short rib at the Cliff, which was excellent the two times we ordered it). - Room service for breakfast was consistently fresh and delivered on-time. Cons: - The unit was in need of some repairs. Nothing major or off-putting, but things like bathroom sinks being discolored from use, bathroom faucet having been repaired but not really (crooked, mortar not set correctly), blinds not working well in some windows, kitchen cabinets not closing/opening properly, etc. - We ran out of hot water on multiple occasions, so we had to space our showers to "slow" times of the day. - No hot-tubs or warming option for the rooftop pool. Notes (just an FYI.. not resort feedback): - Pools were COLD. If anyone on the resort tried to get in them, they got right back out. Probably a time-of-year thing. - Limited "things to do" on resort other than beach and pools. No issues for us (it's what we wanted) but if you are looking for lively activities, this is not the place. - There is an all-inclusive option, but about half of the non-breakfast food items had an up-charge (indicated by a * or ** or *** on the menu depending on the level of up-charge). Most/all premium spirits were not included in the all-inclusive. I wasn't aware of the upcharges on the menu/drinks ahead of time, or I might have chosen pay-as-you-go. Read less

This trip was a dream come true for us . It was a much anticipated 30th anniversary trip . The resort felt so Luxurious yet made us feel welcome and right at home at the same time . The architecture and layout of the resort was perfect , the view is stunning . Our suite was amazing , spacious, clean , and made us feel completely spoiled ! The balcony was our favorite place to relax . We very much enjoyed the pool overlooking the water and mountains . The lounge chairs were comfortable, plenty of fresh towel and very attentive staff. The meals were always top notch and they accommodated many of our special requests. One server Devin, really made our meals special , his friendly demeanor helped us enjoy our meal time , in particular our dinner on Rock Maison which was beautiful and such a unique experience for us . Our vow renewal was assisted by Janin and she was just a joy to work with . Very down to earth and friendly. She made sure we got just what we wanted. We had a lovely view near the gazebo and our photographs by Louise are beautiful. We couldn’t have been happier with how it turned out ! We took several excursions that were planned out perfectly. We really enjoyed our boat tour and our departure helicopter trip was a highlight of our trip . Several of the staff made such a positive impression on us - Stacy assisted with the surprise part of our vow renewal and she was such a wonderful person to have a conversation with later in the evening, she is really an asset to the resort . Terry was a friendly , welcoming presence when we first arrived and throughout our stay . Bob was so helpful and pleasant to speak with down at The Naked Fisherman, we really enjoyed the laughs . Taddy and Septima were wonderful servers as well , they really went above and beyond ! We hope to be able to make a return trip someday , as it would be difficult to top this perfection anywhere else ! Read less

Our five-night stay in mid-February at Cap Maison was fabulous. It was our third visit in three years and we were just as impressed on this stay as we were the first one. The cleanliness, attention to detail, service with a smile, and the outstanding food, which are the hallmarks of Cap Maison, were all present throughout our stay. Our Valentine’s Day dinner at The Cliff was one of the finest meals ever. Exquisite would seem to be an appropriate term. It is a unique, laid-back atmosphere, but an incredibly relaxing and beautiful environment. The food at both The Naked Fisherman and The Cliff is outstanding. Breakfast in the morning is one of my favorite things. Sitting there looking over the Caribbean Sea with the light breeze and selecting from an amazing array of menu items is nothing short of wonderful. While the relaxed atmosphere may not be what everyone is looking for, it is an absolutely amazing place to escape, relax, be pampered (spa is great too), and get away from it all. The small boutique model seems uncrowded, quiet and secluded. Beautiful landscaping gives an added sense of privacy. We are already planning our next visit. Tricia is great with reservations and making sure you have what you want and need and Ross, as manager, wants every guest to be happy. Five stars in every category. Read less

This truly is a place of jaw dropping beauty with world class service with a smile. What made it even better is we got upgraded to a suite with a pool for half our stay. We were on a half board package which helped us enjoy the fantastic and varied food. The seafood in particular was very enjoyable. The breakfasts are also a feast and the choice was incredible. The beach was a great place to relax and always managed to get a bed, but what I would say is don’t leave it too late to get a bed of choice as it gets busy. I also thought it a little disappointing that a 5 star of this quality doesn’t have a private beach and it does get busy with visitors especially at the weekend. This was a great place to stay, but please pay attention to the little things. The ac in our room wasn’t working and the toilet also had a leak. I would expect these types of things to be monitored and corrected before a room is occupied. Also on our final night there was a valentines menu and on arrival I was shocked to see there was $50 extra charge per guest, despite being on a half board package. There had been no warning of this and being a resort on Valentine’s Day it was impossible to venture elsewhere. To be fair when I complained they removed the charge, but in my mind should never have been there in the first place. This is an exceptional hotel but please pay attention to the small points in future Read less
