The hotel

Relaxation and tranquility is what you’ll find at this laidback boutique hotel on the golden shores of Grace Bay. But the resort’s major highlight is the spectacular coral reef just 20 yards from the shore – perfect for both experienced and novice divers alike. It’s not just snorkelling you can enjoy at the Windsong, there’s a range of complimentary activities on offer including kayaks, glass bottom boats, and bicycle rental for you to get out and explore the surrounding areas, both on land and sea! Many of the room types have kitchenettes or even fully equipped kitchens so you can cook up a storm for the family. But if you fancy a bit less work, Dune offers beachfront dining with fresh dishes cooked to perfection. After dinner enjoy a cocktail under the stars in the hotels outdoor seating area and savour that warm weather.

Terrific resort experience. The facility is not too big but has all the amenities. The staff is very attentive and friendly. The beach has plenty of seating and is right on the water. There is a small reef just offshore though most of it is blocked off to protect it. You can still see plenty of fish around the edges of the reef.

Tried Windsong because I remember its great house snorkeling reef from a long ago trip to Beaches next door. I think maybe this may be a condo community with hotel amenities, as I’ve also seen it on AirB&B. We were warned about some construction but it was fine, not noisy at all. Room (2 BR 2Ba ocean front suite) was outstanding, large and comfy… Read more
Tried Windsong because I remember its great house snorkeling reef from a long ago trip to Beaches next door. I think maybe this may be a condo community with hotel amenities, as I’ve also seen it on AirB&B. We were warned about some construction but it was fine, not noisy at all. Room (2 BR 2Ba ocean front suite) was outstanding, large and comfy with full kitchen, washer/dryer, AC, and balcony. It’s a quiet place, even thanksgiving week didn’t feel crowded at all. Staff was attentive and available. Pool scene was pretty quiet, no shortage of loungers, people were friendly but it was hard to get a real feel for who all was traveling. A few disappointments—the reef is in bad shape since we were there before (although it’s now roped off to preserve it) but we were in TCI to dive so we only tried snorkeling once. The bigger disappointment was the inconsistent food. It rained a few days and the others we were wiped out from diving so we ate on site all week. Breakfast was pretty meager unless you ordered more (paid) dishes, lunch at the bar/pool was good albeit no variation thru the week. Dinners were mostly themed, some nights were good (Caribbean night), others were just so-so (pasta night, sushi night). Grouper was always overcooked but conch was excellent. Thanksgiving buffet was fine but lobster was overcooked. The DJ was awful, really detracted from the Thanksgiving meal! Drinks were very good. All dining is outside—when it rains they waive room service fees to eat in your room. Typical (non themed) menu was ok, chicken roll up was good, steak was overcooked. We would stay there again for the quality and size of the room and laid back vibe but would eat out/take out more (esp for dinners). Read less

Nice location but service is poor. In a place like TCI, every property has good location, the real differentiator is service and this property is really bad at it. Especially the beach staff- they just don’t want to work and sit in their place all the time and want to be paid without doing any work. They’re interested to sell paid services and not… Read more
Nice location but service is poor. In a place like TCI, every property has good location, the real differentiator is service and this property is really bad at it. Especially the beach staff- they just don’t want to work and sit in their place all the time and want to be paid without doing any work. They’re interested to sell paid services and not interested to provide services that hotel claims to include complimentary as part of rooms package. We were here 4 nights and the beach staff was full of excuses every day on why they can’t take us for a boat ride. They couldn’t find a single occasion in 4 days where they had enough people to man a Hobie Cat. They just don’t want to work. Read less

Overall nice property. The shower was supposed to be luxurious but in reality, it was a terrible experience. It was a large open bathtub with a showerhead from the ceiling. The entire bathroom floor got soaked with every shower. The view was lovely from our room though.
