Jul 13, 2025You’ll want to return year after year!
We return year upon year and brought friends this year to see why! From arrival our friends could see …the warm reception , the view from the top floor rooms, spacious balcony and furniture. The attentiveness from the staff is outstanding… St Clair, Andre, Ryan J, Jason, Nicole, Simon, beach club Ryan, Kerry and Carole Ann , and the management, to mention a few. The rooms are very comfortable and housekeeping do an amazing job. Breakfast is very good, lots of choices. Taboras is great evening restaurant and the decking area perfect for pre dinner drinks to watch the sunset. The beach is amazing and plenty of sun beds .

Scenery & Service
Our room was clean, spacious, and beautifully designed. The ocean views were truly breathtaking—like scenes straight out of a photograph. The hotel grounds were impeccably maintained, adding to the overall charm of our stay. Throughout our visit, every staff member we encountered was courteous and helpful. The general manager, JC, and Roman were also very visible and engaged, which we appreciated. Our housekeeping experience was exceptional. Serena took wonderful care of us and even anticipated some of our needs, adding a personal and thoughtful touch to our stay. At breakfast, the wait staff (we had several different servers during our stay) remembered our drink orders and always kept our table clear of empty dishes, which made for a smooth and pleasant dining experience. One particularly special moment was at the beachside eatery, where we were surprised with a complimentary dessert to celebrate our anniversary—a very thoughtful gesture that meant a lot to us! Possible Improvements: • It would be nice to have more dining options available, though we understand this might vary by season. • Access to items in the gift shop after hours would be helpful, especially for urgent needs. During our stay, my husband and I both became ill and needed medication, which required taking a taxi into Holetown. Having essential items accessible on-site or through room service would be a great convenience for guests. Food: The cuisine may vary depending on individual tastes, but there are American-style options available for those who prefer familiar flavors. Overall, we had a very good experience, especially as a couple. We truly appreciated the gorgeous views, excellent service, and the thoughtful touches that made our stay memorable.

Good beach
The Fairmont is in a great location, with easy access to a sandy beach. Our room was comfortable with a lovely view, and we were lucky to catch a few incredible sunsets during our stay. It’s also just a short walk to Lonestar, which we ended up visiting several times — great food and a nice atmosphere.
