Where to Stay (Room Selection & Renovations)
- Renovation Status: Look for rooms in Hamilton, Pembroke, and Devonshire lodges. These are frequently cited in recent reviews as having modern flooring and updated bathrooms. St. Davids and Southampton are often described as more “traditional” or “dated” but offer some of the best unobstructed ocean views.
- Quiet & Sleep: Request Sandy’s Lodge (20) or St. George’s Lodge (21). These are at the far end of the Resort Layout, furthest from the noise of the Main Road and the evening entertainment at the Great House.
- Convenience: Hamilton Lodge (6) and Smiths Lodge (7) are the best for families. They are closest to the Pool (9) and the Great House (1) dining areas, minimizing the walk with children.
Top Spots & Hidden Gems
- Guest Favorites: The Cathedral Cave (11) is the resort’s crown jewel. Unlike standard hotel pools, you can actually swim in this natural underground grotto. It is a “must-do” that visitors rank higher than the main pool.
- Secret Locations: The Honeymoon Beach (14). Most guests congregate at the main beach by the Water Sports (25) center. This smaller cove is significantly quieter and offers better privacy for couples.
- Dining Tips: Visit the Bayside Grill (near the pool) for their famous “Rum Swizzle.” Tourists recommend the Fish Chowder at the Great House dining room—it’s considered one of the most authentic versions on the island.
Practical Layout & Distances
- Elevation: The Hotel Layout is built on a slope. The Great House is at the highest point. Walking from the lower lodges (Sandy’s or Somerset) to breakfast involves a steep incline.
- Accessibility: There are many stairs and winding pathways. If you have a stroller or mobility issues, request a room in Hamilton or Pembroke as they have more level access to the main facilities.
- Shortcuts: There is a walking path behind the Tennis Centre (23) that provides a quicker, flatter route to the Main Road bus stops than walking all the way around the driveway.
Map FAQ
- Where do I get pool towels? Most towels are provided at the Water Sports (25) hut or the Pool (9) area.
- Is the pool heated? The main Pool (9) is generally not heated, but the Jacuzzi (12) is kept hot year-round.
- How do I get to the airport? The resort is only 5 minutes away. You can grab a Taxi at the designated stand right outside the Great House.
- How do I use the bus? You must buy tokens or a pass at the Guest Services Desk in the Great House before heading to the Bus Stop (26/27).
- Where is the laundry? The Guest Laundry (19) is located centrally between the lodges, which is very convenient for long-stay guests.
- Can I swim in the caves? Yes, swimming is allowed in Cathedral Cave (11) during daylight hours, but the Natura Spa (10) cave is for paid treatments only.
