    the appearance of the room was not super. The fotos on booking.com give a extremely nice impression of the hotel and rooms, reality is far from the fotos

    Location close to the sea and walking distance (15min) to beachclub and restaurants/town was nice

    Cute place

    You cannot drink the water from the taps and they charge $15EC for a water bottle (in the shops water is $7EC) for a large bottle. The coffee was also expensive, and not very good. They also have a bar but only have beer and some liquor as options.... I would plan to go into town.

    We had a good stay, however our room has no AC and our neighbour had their phone going off every morning at 4am, with the windows open, it was difficult to get a good sleep. Our host was very accommodating and gave us an extra fan when we asked though.

    Need torch to walk back from Clifton after dark. Track can be muddy in places after rain.

    Lovely outlook very close to quiet beach. Very pleasant owner & staff. Breakfast made to request. Hotel of character, 15 minute walk into Clifton to shops & eating places. Variety of places to visit with local buses or by boat.

    Got a bit hot here so didn't sleep well at times. Hope air conditioning is on the shopping list.

    Good little breakfast, location is a walk from the town so quiet and peaceful but ok to walk home after dinner. Fairly basic but clean and lovely view over the beach which is about10 metres away.

    wifi was terrible, water pressure was terrible and at one point we ran out of water with black sludge coming out of tap. no ceiling light so quite dark. always very windy beach and super shallow not great for swimming. no fridge in room.

    The balcony view of the water was nice and it was quite close to sparrows restaurant and bar with their great beach. Short walk to town. beach was really pretty with lots of shells and coral

    The property is in desperate need if a revamp, good thing it was only 1 night! The host is not very welcoming. Zero points for hosting skills, maybe because she was occupied with her family that was visiting but your focus should be on your paying guest! The cleaner /assistant is a diamond (had to give her a nice tip) and should be encouraged to be front of house greeting guest.

    OK as basic accommodation for Union island
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Room with 2 single beds, Terrace and Sea view
    • Stayed 2 nights

    The room did not have air conditioning, but it did have a powerful fan. While this was great for cooling purposes, it was also very loud, making earplugs a necessity. Bathroom was pretty basic and poorly lit. Access to the hotel was through muddy roads. While not the end of the world, it was certainly inconvenient.

    Beautiful view out to the sea and access to a beach for swimming. Like most places near the beach on union island, there were a lot of sandflies, but the hotel provided an incense stick to keep them at bay.

    The owner was not welcoming at all, she didn’t had a friendly approach. Booked for 2 adults but brought an additional with us and wasn’t allowed to stay in one room, inconvenient us by making us pay for another room because we was not allowed a refund. Wi-Fi password was not offered to us upon entry. We had to ask for the password on the second day of our stay. The fans in the room was not giving. The road to the apartment is very bad and muddy. Wouldn’t recommend taking your vehicle. There’s a dog on the premises that’s rushing you upon entry of the premises that scared us away.

    The ambience and balcony of the small room. The rooms was okay

    Dilapidated, Dirty hotel, with on-site smelly bonfires continuously burning in effort to keep away horrendous sand fly problem. Owner refuses to accept payment in anything other than cash, despite booking.com ad saying credit cards accepted, and is attempting to charge twice, as she tries to claim credit card payment and then insists on cash. No open bar or restaurant- told to go elsewhere for food as it would take too long to defrost anything for dinner. Owner puts lights out and retires at dusk, and hotel is down dark dirt track a long way from anything. No wi-fi code or drinkable water available- no tea or coffee (a few tea bags, no, coffee, water, milk). Hotel water comes off roof and contains bird mess (we were told on second day), bottled water (13ec a bottle) advised but when owner retires and is uncontactable nothing whatsoever available to drink, and can’t contact outside world due to no wi-fi. Hotel is a disgrace and needs to be removed from booking.com as none of the advertised facilities are available, or are twice the price of elsewhere and are exceedingly poor.

    Nothing - Not as Advertised on Booking.com

    Overpriced, no functioning air-conditioning, no functioning wi-fi. Avoid.

    Compared to other places we stayed at while visiting Grenadines, this was definitely not good value for money. Overpriced, yet very simple, quite far from any social life, with annoying German tourists telling us what (not) to do. (Admittedly, the last part is not the fault of the hotel owners, but we were already quite grumpy about the rest and the German tourists scolding us for having a rather quite conversation on the terrace did not help.) But as for the hotel: the air-conditioning was a parody on air-conditioning (noisy and not effective); the wi-fi was a parody on wi-fi (did not work at all); and the shower was a parody on shower (the water stayed in the sink for hours, simply needs cleaning). All in all, the pictures look really great, but the reality less so. We were quite disappointed.

    The location next to the beach was quite charming.

    The hotel is across a muddy dirt road from a very wild beach. We could not sit on our terrace in the afternoon or evening because there were so many biting insects. We were therefor confined to our room that had a very loud and inefficient air conditioner. TV was so small that we couldn't hear it, especially over the din of the loud AC. The owner was difficult to find. There is nothing to do in the area. Shower head was broken as was the toilet paper holder. Ceilings in the room needed plastering.

    The hotel room was clean and there was a mosquito net.
