Awesome room on a top floor with seaview. You can see sunset from the spacious balcony. The room was clean. Air condition worked well. The staff was very friendly. They helped with taxi and tour reservations. Tip: hiking the Tamarin Waterfalls route with guide is highly recommended. Breakfast was ala carte and delicious. We ate every dinner at hotel. Creolean cuisine is worth for ordering! Pool was nice. Beach is right next to the hotel and there are sunbeds for guests. Overall great getaway romantic hotel with human touch. Not too big, not too small. Would go again!

Great stay and one of the few hotels on the beach. We had a superior room with a view but it was above the kitchens which makes a bit of noise in the morning. The staff was great and helpful. For food and drinks the restaurant is really good. The drinks and cocktail menu are nice and also very nice to have close to the pool and beach. Only down side is the breakfast which is “à la carte” where you need to chose different things and it gets a little repetitive. The fruit plate is not great and the juice of the day feels like the juice of the week. Also you can get filter coffee or pay more for a cappuccino or smth. Overall we had a great stay and these were minor inconveniences. There is a parking and you can get good access to the black river area

Disappointing Stay at The Bay

We stayed at The Bay for 3 nights as part of a longer vacation. Unfortunately, the service was lacking, the staff were unhelpful and misleading, and their English skills were limited. On day 3, after placing the cleaning request sign on our door, our room was finally cleaned. However, upon our return, we found that neither the toilet nor the shower had been properly cleaned, and the dirty towels were still on the floor. This was especially frustrating as our room had not been cleaned at all on day 2, despite the request sign being displayed. The food in the restaurant is decent, but you quickly become dependent on it since there are no real dining alternatives in the surrounding area.

Hôtel très sympathique avec un personnel globalement accueillant. C’est dommage de n’avoir aucune activité type paddle ou snorkling. Le restaurant est bon, nous y avons pris les petits déjeuners et les dîners. Un bémol tout de même car je ne peux pas manger de gluten et il y a eu confusion sur les commandes ainsi que les toasts. Le personnel du restaurant manque un peu de formation. Le matin nous étions réveillées par le personnel de l’hôtel vers 6h car la terrasse donne sur le restaurant. L’emplacement donne un spectacle magnifique sur les couchers de soleil. L’ambiance est familiale.

Superbe petit hôtel avec une superbe vue sur le lagon. J’ai adoré le côté intimiste de l’hôtel et vous pouvez profiter pour un repos optimum. Le restaurant et le bar disposent d’une superbe vue et est très calme. Les repas etaient très bon également. Le parking pas très grand mais nous avons trouvé de la place juste devant, parking surveillé. La chambre est grande et propre. Le personnel très bien. Pour la plage faut aller à La preneuse qui est à 200m car celle devant l’hôtel est plutôt un port et les toilettes pour les chiens mais reste très bien entretenue avec un nettoyage régulier.

Väldigt mysigt guesthouse med suveränt läge vid stranden. Personalen otroligt gulliga och hjälpsamma. Rummet standard var enklare än förväntat och var äldre och mindre charmigt än på bilderna. Vi hade rum på första våningen med utsikt över havet och poolen, terrassen trevlig men blev väldigt varm under dagen utan skugga och ingen fläkt i taket. Badrummet har en skjutbar vägg mot sovrummet vilket inte var så praktiskt och trevligt när en sitter på toaletten. Badrummet hade bara en liten spegel med väldigt dåligt ljus. Maten höll väldigt hög kvalitet och restaurangen var välbesökt av traktens boende så både lunch och middagsreservation behövdes varje dag för att få ett bord, även som gäst på hotellet. Stranden lugn och fin, vattnet kristallklart. Många båtar ankrade precis utanför hotellet så man fick bada mellan båtarna men det gick bra. Poolen blev väldigt grumlig när det hade regnat och ingen gjorde rent botten så mycket sand låg i hörnen. Överlag ett väldigt trevligt ställe med familjär stämning där maten och läget övervägde den något låga standarden på rummet och lobbyn. Restaurangen hade suveränt läge ut mot havet.

Nous avons été fortement déçus par la chambre standard du RDC face a la réception. Le carré terrasse est exiguë voir inexistant et surtout il y a 2 appareils de climatisation qui font jour et nuit un bruit énorme et des odeurs d'égouts insoutenables
