    The location of these suites is mind-blowing, right in the heart of a bustling harbor with boats coming and going. The rooms are super comfortable, with an excellent-sized room and a jaw-dropping super king size bed. There are tons of great restaurants within walking distance, and for a more private experience, staying in these suites is a fantastic option. Plus, being close to the swimming pool and lunch at Boom restaurant is a major plus. Don't miss the free boat trip to the nearby beach - it's a real treat!

    My recent stay at a historical gem in buzzing English Harbour was absolutely delightful. I had the pleasure of staying in the Gunpowder Suites, which were conveniently linked to the main hotel by boat during the day and by car after 6pm. The room was spacious, and the super king size bed provided a comfortable night's sleep. The location was fantastic, with boats coming and going, creating a lively atmosphere. Additionally, there were plenty of excellent restaurants within walking distance, offering a variety of dining options. For a more secluded experience, I highly recommend staying in the Gunpowder Suites, which are close to the swimming pool and the Boom restaurant, where I enjoyed a delicious lunch. I also took advantage of the complimentary boat trip to a nearby beach, which added to the overall experience.

    Stayed at Gunpowder Suites opposite the main hotel for a few nights. Fantastic location with bustling boat activity in the harbor. The spacious room and super king size bed were perfect. Plenty of great restaurants within walking distance. For a more private experience, I recommend staying in these Suites. Close proximity to the swimming pool and Boom restaurant for lunch. Also enjoyed the complimentary boat trip to a nearby beach. The beautiful, serene setting with lots of birds added to the overall charm.

    Would recommend this hotel.

    Fantastic stay at a hotel with an excellent location and beautiful surroundings. The room was spacious and comfortable, with a big comfortable bed. Many good restaurants were within walking distance, and the swimming pool was nearby. The hotel also offered a free boat ride to a nearby beach.

    Nothing, all great.

    Spending Christmas at this historical gem was fantastic! The beautiful scenery and quiet atmosphere were just what we needed. The staff were generally friendly and always ready to assist. The rooms were comfortable and the super king size bed was a dream. We enjoyed the boat trip to the nearby beach, which was free of charge. There were plenty of good restaurants within walking distance and the location was buzzing with boats coming and going.

    That the resident breakfast choice was limited and could use more variety, especially in terms of fruit and eggs. It was also essential to book a sunbed and table for lunch during busy times, as the pool area and restaurant were popular and open to non-residents.

    The Perfect Place to Soak Up the Sun: With its private beach area and water sports facilities, this hotel is like a tropical paradise. I felt like a celebrity lounging on the pristine beach, sipping on a refreshing cocktail. It was pure bliss!

    We loved our stay at this historical gem in a buzzing location. The exclusive amenities fulfilled our luxurious needs. The infinity pool and sun loungers were perfect for relaxing. We enjoyed the proximity to great restaurants and the stunning beach access. The spa lounge was very chic and the beauty treatments were top-notch. The entertainment was live and kept us engaged.

    The only minor issue was with the packed lunches, that were not our favorite. But it was not a major concern, due to the other incredible restaurant dinner options.

    Located in a bustling area with lots of boats coming and going, this historical gem is an excellent choice for solo travelers. The rooms are spacious and comfortable with a super king size bed, while the bathroom boasts good-sized showers. The staff is generally friendly, and the hotel offers a free boat trip to a nearby beach. There are plenty of good restaurants within walking distance, and the pool area is fantastic for a relaxing afternoon.

    Some guests may find the food at the hotel restaurant disappointing, and breakfast may come with additional charges depending on the option customers choose.
