  Exceptional Stay

  The Island House is exceptional. We had a cottage that was spacious. The patio area had a table and seating for 4 people-- a great place for breakfast. It was a few steps from their gorgeous pool and a short drive to the beach (they take you in a private car). The food was amazing and the beds were comfortable. This hotel is a tranquil retreat geared towards adults but is also child-friendly. The service is top-notch and very friendly. We ate lunch poolside and enjoyed breakfast at Yellowbell. We ate dinner at Shima and Mogano and enjoyed our meals at both establishments, although the curry dishes at Shima stood out. Perfection. You will not be disappointed.

  Lynn Lowe: One-of-a-kind Master Therapist at the Bamford Spa.

  Lynn Lowe is a one-of-a-kind Master Therapist at the Bamford Spa. Her mind-bodywork therapy sessions stand apart as the best, personalized extraordinarily integrative healing sessions I have had the privilege of receiving. I say this as a medical professional and specialist in longevity and regenerative medicine, as well as someone with personal experience of a wide range of healing modalities and therapists. I am particularly impressed by her personalized approach, the time she takes to listen to and assess the whole-person before the laying on of hands on them, the care and attention she brings to the session, as well extensive knowledge of a wide range of physiological, mind-body therapeutic and healing modalities she integrates into her work. Finally, she stands apart in her appreciation of the importance of education and inspiring self-empowerment of her clients. I have rarely left a therapy session with Lynn without a list of health-enhancing activities, nutritional guidance and/or exercises to do at home to continue the healing and self-improvement obtained during the session.

  A true luxury experience.

  We had a short family vacation to this wonderful hidden gem, and we were incredibly satisfied with our stay. The property itself is serene, lush, and beautiful in every way. The rooms are incredibly clean, spacious, and designed in a highly luxurious way. They spared no expense building this place and it shows. Before I get to a quick pros and cons, I want to shout out some special people who helped make our stay as enjoyable as possible, each of them showing my family and I incredible warmth, hospitality, and care: -the bellmen, D and Kaleb -the hotel pool host, Thorn -the beach hosts, Lawson and Marco -the concierge, Kera -our waiter at Shima, Kevin -the manager of the hotel, whose name unfortunately slips my mind All of the above, and others, treated us with impeccable care, warmth, and joy. We are very lucky to have met all of you. Honestly there are no cons at this place. It's all pros: the beach, the rooms, the pool, the facilities, the property itself, and most of all the people. Our favorite restaurant was Shima, but the real gem for us was the island pizza place where our family had some awesome meals of incredibly good wood-fired pizza (better than anything I've had back home) which is nestled in a lush green patio space. The weather was great while we were there. The beach has incredibly clean, manicured sand and the waves were flowing beautifully. All-in-all, a true 5-star experience. I won't go saying it is high value for the cost, but I will undoubtedly say one gets their moneys worth here. Thanks again to all the wonderful staff!

  Nice Looking Cinema, bad service…

  Very nice cinema, the 2 person sofa is is nice and the screen and audio. Unfortunately, our experience watching Deadpool and Wolverine was ruined because the movie was cut off twice. The first time was a technical error, but none of the staff noticed and we had to go and find someone. Eventually the movie was restarted, but the staff member failed to rewind to the spot where we were cut off - loosing a small portion of the movie, however right in the middle of an intense scene. The second time the staff intentionally cut the movie halfway through the end credits. As with all Marvel movies everyone waits for the post credits scene, but I guess it was more important for the staff member to go home earlier. When we asked about why it was cut off before the end of the movie, we were simply met with a “not my problem”. We can’t be sure it was intentional, but it felt like it. An expensive ticket and nice seats are simply not worth it, if you can’t play the movie. You had one job.

  Visit Bamford Spa

  Had an opportunity to get a manicure and pedicure with Angelique Williamson at the Bamford Spa. Her service was excellent and I enjoyed my experience. If you ever have an opportunity to go to Bamford Spa please ensure to ask for Angelique as she will treat you like loyalty.
