Kalinago Beach Resort

I made a reservation through *******, when I arrived I was told that the room I booked and paid for was not available. I have not received a refund yet.

The beach,amazingly beautiful. The warmth and friendiness of the people. The delicious meals that can be obtain at the front restaurant on the beach. Gems.

Depending which cruise ships were in, the parking lot was swarming with buses full of tourists. They stormed the grounds and took over the place, grabbing all the chaise lounges, then the chairs from the pool. It totally ruined the serenity that I was led to believe I was going to get. One day, the resort rented out the grounds for a birthday party. Screaming kids took over the whole pool. On Sundays, anyone who wants to can pay admission and use the whole place. The Rhum Runner party boat dumps all its passengers on the beach. One day, fishermen came ashore with all their nets, leaving behind hundreds of dead fish in the water. The room was clean but dated. The balcony had a great view of the beach. The grounds were meticulously maintained. The beach was beautiful. The pool had a swim-up bar. But there was no microwave, coffee pot, suitcase rack, tissues or hair dryer. Only a kettle. There was no floral arrangement in my room as advertised. I never knew whether my shower was going to be the polar plunge or molten lava. It changed daily. We lost water and electricity twice, and for hours at a time. The ceiling fan didn’t work. Nor did the outlet in the bathroom. The air conditioner blew directly onto the bed. The balcony chairs were hard wooden slats. Most of the chaise lounges were broken or missing pieces. The restaurant was not open for dinner. There was a barbecue on the beach, but the food was cold. We had to use water shoes because the beach was full of stones.

The property was on rhe beach. This was so nice. I also liked that they made the beds everyday and changed the towels. The breakfast we had was good as well. The coffee quality needs improvement. The light fixtures in the room are ugly and the lighting is poor. Blue color on the wall needs changing.

Private beach and feiendly atmosphere

Would return here for sure! A delightful hotel, wonderful staff and superb location
