ポーツマスのFort Shirleyホテル

I found the poor reviews of this property are, if they ever were, inaccurate. If you have read any of my other reviews you will know that I am not easily impressed. This is a true 5 star resort on the scale of the Four Seasons. The entire property, rooms, and restaurants are immaculate. Service was outstanding. Breakfast bar (included in some room rates) was outstanding in variety, quality and service. Eggs to order or waffles are cooked and table side in less than 5 minutes. The property is a one hour drive from the airport through treacherous winding roads full of pot holes. I am an adventurous driver, but this drive was just plain dangerous. The foreign drivers were the worst, often rounding the blind curves in the middle of the highway. If you’re not willing to take that adventure call the hotel and inquire about shuttle service. I know DG Tours offers shuttle service. The conditions of the long drive and relatively high cost per night probably explains why the property is virtually vacant. I’m here during Carnival and at noon there are 4 families next to the enormous pool. If I saw 20 rooms with their lights on in the evening, that would be a high side estimate. Beautifully landscaped beyond most 5 star hotel. Waterfront rooms are really “water view”. Our room faces the water but the huge pool and restaurant are in the forefront. Days were 85 degrees and nights 75 Definitely an excellent choice if you’re looking for a high quality experience.
