Reviews and Ratings
I couldn't be happier with my stay at the Ocean Front Blues Wing! The location is simply perfect, right by the beach, and the rooms were spotless, even after dealing with sandy swim suits all day. The service was exceptional, with the staff being patient, proactive, and kind. The dining experience could have had more variety, but overall, it was a memorable and enjoyable stay.
My stay at La Belle Alliance was truly exceptional. The rooms were comfortable and offered a great view, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The location was beautiful and well-maintained, though there were some minor inconveniences. The dining experience was delightful, with a variety of options available. Overall, it was a wonderful experience with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel has clean and very spacious rooms in the Blues Wing, and even though our room on the ground floor was small, it was incredibly beautiful with flowers on the bed and floor, creating a romantic ambiance. The complimentary bottle of wine and thoughtful card from the general manager were such lovely gestures. The location was excellent, right on the beach and near good restaurants, but being sprayed with bug spray every morning at 5 am was a downside. The service was impeccable with staff being extremely welcoming, helpful, and kind, making our stay memorable.
The hotel has a great location perfect for exploring the island and is within walking distance of the downtown area. The staff is friendly and welcoming, making the stay enjoyable. However, the dining options could be better, and there are early morning bug spray sessions that may bother non-smokers.
