We’ve been coming FRP annually for nearly twenty years, so this review is one I hope the powers that be there read and take notice of as we will not be returning. I could write pages and pages of what is wrong and needs improving but to summarise, * The Staff in the main appear to know it’s going downhill * The Breakfast was nowhere near as good as it should be (2 hours for an omelette?), they’ve stopped the one thing that was good (the egg station) * The swimming pool looked dirty and full of leaves, it didn’t get cleaned * The rooms are tired, our cooler wasn’t working (it wasn’t last year) and as per other reviews we had to request a huge commercial fridge * The Ice machine didn’t work all week * We asked the “Butler” (who we saw once a day) to do one thing for us, tea in the morning at 8am, first two days it never arrived until we asked again. * The beds on the beach need renewing and better mattresses * the beach needed raking due to the recent storms as there was coral/rocks everywhere access to cut your feet. The local beach bar next door raked their area every day without fail * The service on the beach was temperamental at best, one day we didn’t see anyone for 2hrs and we had to call the reception to send someone *The gym had items out of order,all week. * service at the bar was slow at best There’s more but remember this is a hotel charging you £1100/$1500 a night The hotel needs new management and a refresh, the two stars are for the few great staff that still tried, the location and the fantastic new art studio
This came highly recommended by our travel agent. Unfortunately, we should have quizzed him a bit more on a couple of things! There is no condiments of any description in the apartment on arrival. However, you can get reception to arrange a starter pack for you. Personally, I'd have expected this as part of the package, and appreciate this tweaks the cost up, but having to go and buy stuff when you've only just got off a plane, isn't ideal. I couldn't find this option on their website, we would have used it if we'd known! There is an option to join one of the beach facing hotels. I'd recommend you give it a try if you want a day on the beach. If you struggle with steps, then you need to book a downstairs apartment, the steps to upstairs are quite steep! It's a great place for peace and quiet, very little noise, so that's a great plus! You can manage without a car. It's a comfortable 15 minute walk to Holetown shops and restaurants. The pool and sun loungers are great. All the staff were very friendly and helpful.
