How did they make perfect even better?

JFsB (Fairfield, Connecticut) on Nov 03, 2024

Just returned from my 10th stay (last time last a year ago). I thought it was the most idyllic place and was beyond perfect; however, after this stay, I was amazed at the changes that have been made that make perfect even more perfect. As usual, every member of the team is kind, gracious and simply can’t do enough to ensure you enjoy your stay. They are truly the heart of this resort and deserve only the highest praise. In my opinion, you can find beautiful beaches and great food elsewhere, but the reason I keep returning is the team. During the week, I didn’t encounter one person who didn’t smile, wave and offer a friendly greeting or a chat. It was great to see staff members that have been there over the years (Cedric, Alfred, Lynette, Stuart, Sade, and Andrea) as well as new faces (Jessica and Sandy G). While I hate to praise individual members, I must send a special thank you to Inez, who coordinated medical care, and Joan, who made sure I received the needed medication timely, in guest services who were so kind during an unexpected medical situation. My premium beachfront suite had everything you could want. Lovely furnishings and a comfortable bed, all kept immaculately clean by the housekeeping staff, and a mini bar full of sodas, beers, wine and lots of bottled water that was refreshed daily. So glad to see they swapped out the down duvets with much more comfortable cotton blankets. Also love the new maid call / do not disturb button. What more could you want than to step out of your room directly onto one of the most beautiful beaches anywhere? Galley Bay has the most serene atmosphere, in which you can fully escape the hustle and bustle of life at home. No waking up at the crack of dawn to throw your towel on a beach lounger: every room has their own assigned loungers, palapa and table (brilliant). The resort now offers beach and room service. At least every few hours, a kindly waitstaff passed by, happy to bring you the beverage of your choice. The lunch and dinner menus at both Seagrape and Gaugin have been updated with some really delicious new dishes, like the brie, cranberry, chorizo and roast corn tart is a must and the line caught, grilled snapper was amazing. Thankfully hey have not given up old favorites like jerk chicken wings and goat curry. Even Ismay’s menu, which had remained unchanged for several years, has been updated (the pan roasted scallop appetizer and salmon entrée were incredible). And the desserts, those wonderful desserts. I’m not usually a sweet eater, but I just couldn’t resist the wonderful new confections on offer and tried something new after each meal. I heard that they will be expanding service at Gaugin to include breakfast as well as a beach bar! The Upscale Café (coffee shop) has the most delicious cookies; don’t miss them. My only request is to get rid of the out-dated dress code. Let the staff and guests wear more comfortable clothing! As for the staff, I was there during the breast cancer awareness day when the team wore lovely pink t-shirts and casual bottoms, while still looking very professional. It was nice to see them out of the polyester uniforms for a change. I agree that appropriate attire must be worn, but it is hard to watch the men wearing long pants to dinner and sweat uncomfortably throughout their meal. Let the guys wear tailored shorts at dinner year-round.

10 days of indulgence!

hannahf329 (Oldbury, United Kingdom) on Nov 02, 2024

Sensational food, views, beach, accommodation & company! Super calming, total relaxation, perfect to unwind and get away from the hustle and bustle of a hectic city life. A choice of 3 restaurants, all day bar snacks & coffee shop; you won’t go hungry! Plenty of local entertainment if you do feel the need to leave the resort - stingray city, giant tortoise sanctuary, Shirley Heights, boat hire, helicopter hire, harbour restaurants. A holiday of a lifetime!
