Fun casual island resort
Dec 16, 2024DianehoneyTorrington, Connecticut, United States
Super fun casual resort with great authentic Jamaican food and a chill island vibe. Love the jerk chicken on the beach and the fun piano bar party in the evening. Also the most beautiful sunsets from the upstairs bar. Good blend of activities and relaxation.

Friendly, warm and welcoming staff. The architecture has a pleasant old-warm charm with new amenities. Food is amazing; Jerk hut pork and festival, Moonstone lamb chops, and Platinum blue mountain cheesecake; add the coffee bar and the french toast at breakfast and thank me later. A great happy medium of entertainment and relaxation. Never needed…

This was not an all inclusive! The hotel was outdated and the beach was not great. Tequila and wine were not included! If you want a glass of wine, you could only order the house wine and if you wanted a different wine, you would have to buy the bottle. If you wanted a drink with tequila, you had to purchase it. They only offered rum and vodka drinks. They came to clean our room at 5 PM when we would be getting ready to shower and go to dinner. We actually had to leave the room in order for them to clean it. The woman waited at our door until we left. Definitely would not go here again. I would say the staff is friendly, but not attentive.
