On the booking it asks for “special request”, (we asked for 1 hour early check in if possible because of our plane arrival time) and when we arrived she said it wasn’t possible. No problem! We know sometimes it isn’t possible. Went to the bar without complaint for an hour until the 3pm time she gave us to retrieve the key. When we got there we saw the original receptionist was on phone so I spoke to the colleague next to her (A family was sitting in lobby but no one at the reception desk). I said hello and told the colleague we had checked in but were back as instructed to get the room key, please. I was polite (In customer service 25 yrs). She said “ok I’ll need to ask her” and turned to the woman on phone (not sure if she interrupted her) and suddenly the woman on phone stood up and yelled at me “ma’am I’m going to need you to go ahead and take a seat!”. Like I was some unruly passenger on an airplane?? My husband was ready to tell her off and leave, but I chose not to further escalate the situation. I won’t allow anyone to bait me into meeting them on the low road. Once settled, I went back and said how she spoke to me was not ok and I had done nothing deserving of such treatment. She said “I’m sorry you’re offended” (not a real apology). I told her that actually it seemed as though my presence somehow offended her because I hadn’t even spoken to her. She said it was because she was already helping the other people in the lobby. I pointed out that I had no idea that she was helping them as they were not at the counter, and anyhow my inquiry was to her colleague (who wasn’t on the phone or speaking to anyone else), NOT her, so it made no difference. This time she apologized for “upsetting me” and said she did not want to damper our stay. Better, but too late, the unprovoked behavior ruined the stay. Asked or 1 hour late check out because of our flight departure time, which is normal in most 4 star hotels, and they did give it to us. We are from St Martin here visiting Antiguan friends. They brought us here for dinner the night before and we loved the location so decided to book. Safe to say, not how we expected to be treated, not 4 stars, never coming back. Rooms need updating, no washcloths, no water pressure. Woken at 7:30am by staff using a leaf blower outside the building. The beach is lovely, but for us that was it. Stayed on July 6, 24
ゲゲストWhat an absolute gem of a place!! My daughter and I stayed here for 2 nights, prior to embarking on a cruise, and it was amazing here. The room was huge, spacious and spotlessly clean, with everything we could possibly need, with a stunning view of the sea. Jackie was a fantastic host and a brilliant chef too!! - we had **** chicken with coconut rice and fried plantain one evening, and it was delicious. If you get the chance to eat there, then definitely choose something from her menu, you won't be disappointed. The breakfast was lovely too, with included freshly prepared fruit, toast and homemade marmalade, but with the option of eggs or omelettes if required. The setting was peaceful with lovely views over Dickenson Bay, and the lovely beach was only a 10 minute walk away via a short cut through the property. Jackie was very helpful, organising taxis for us to take us to the ship, contacted out tour company when the guide was a little late, and even drove us to the beach one day to show us where it was and the route to take back. Nothing was a problem, and we felt safe and well looked after. The other staff there were lovely too, very charming, friendly and polite and made us feel very welcome. I would definitely stay here again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jackie and her resort to everyone. Thank you Jackie for a memorable stay in Antigua, we loved every second of our stay there.
I booked this hotel on **********. They never received the reservation. ********** claimed they sent it. They wouldn't help. I had to scrounge around for a room far from the center of town. The desk clerk, June, helped me for over an hour. She even drove us to a room she found about five miles away. She's a gem. ********** was totally useless.
