East Winds

They give each guest specialized attention. My wife has food allergies, and they took special care to make sure the food that was served was safe for her and still delicious! It was an amazing experience, and we will definitely be going back!!

Small 30 room hotel right on the beach, with lovely gardens. Had a bit of a flooding problem to start with when high seas got into bar, restaurant and beach areas. Not new to them, and the whole team coped seamlessly, from restaurant and bar staff to maintenance, gardeners, management, the lot. Only slight gripe is the intrusion of rock out crops into the beach area, limiting swimming space. Also, sand shelf just offshore makes getting out a frequent barrel roll up and then back down again if sea is a bit rough! Lots of repeaters, some over 30 times.

My partner and I have recently returned from a week's stay at East Winds - we initially chose to stay here because of the excellent reviews it has already received, which we can only echo having experienced it ourselves. East Winds is a special place, because of how beautiful and serene it is, and how thoughtful, welcoming and friendly every member of staff is. It's set in a tropical garden, with amazing plants, trees and wildlife everywhere - there was a mango tree outside our cottage, and we saw hummingbirds flying around our terrace every day. The rooms are lovely - beautifully decorated with plenty of space, a big comfy bed and a fully-stocked fridge with soft drinks, beers and wines. The resort overall is gorgeous, with great pool and beach spaces - both of them have plenty of sunloungers so you never need to worry about finding a good spot at any time of day. A real highlight was the food and drinks - breakfast and lunch are buffets which were always really varied and delicious (I think I had a chocolate mousse almost every lunchtime, they were so good!). Dinners are a bit more formal, with a 4-course menu every night - the dishes were always really high quality, and we left every meal full and very happy! Drinks were great as well, cocktails were always really tasty and a great range of wines for dinner - the rum tasting session was really fun as well. The best thing by far about the resort was the people - we've never felt so welcomed to a hotel before! Every single member of staff was so lovely, really welcoming and friendly, and our experience would not have been as amazing as it was without them. While it was our first time at East Winds, we met plenty of other guests who had returned multiple times - we look forward to hopefully being among their number and coming back soon.

Just back from 10days at east winds resort It was the best holiday resort I have stayed at The staff were all so helpful and attentive Jermaine your omelettes were the best I have ever tasted and perfectly prepared. Michal the Wild Sex Cocktails (the recipe I gave you) were the very best and delivered to us at the pool and beach always delivered with a smile. All in all the place is the perfect place for a relaxing holiday good food fine wine and excellent service by wonderful caring people.

Wow East Winds is beyond lovely! Every detail is so well thought out: rooms, gardens, food, drinks, beach, pool - everything. It's quiet and relaxing, music at lunch and dinner is never over-loud. The decor throughout is beautiful, airy and bright with lovely fabrics & colours. We stayed in Superior Cottage number 5, in the lush gardens and near the pool, bar, restaurant and beach. It was elegantly furnished, spacious and well-equipped - with gorgeous robes, insect repellent (we never needed), a superb hairdryer (priceless!), tea & coffee, full fridge etc. Each cottage also has a bird feeder, so we had frequent hummingbird visits to enjoy. A lovely touch. Food and drink were excellent - everything high quality. Breakfasts are important and here they were stellar every day, crispiest bacon, perfect eggs, melting pancakes or porridge to order, fresh pastries, fruit, yoghurt, delicious juice and smoothies. Lunches were varied, but always with tasty fresh & light hot & cold options. Dinner menus change daily and everything we ate was delicious from amuse bouche to dessert. Drinks whenever, wherever - including fruit punch, a good choice of wines and limitless rum & cocktail options. The rum tasting session was much enjoyed. Plenty of cushioned loungers on both sides of the beach and by the pool, all under structures or resilient parasols. A relaxing atmosphere everywhere. The gardens are full of variety, colour and birds and are very well maintainted. We enjoyed an informative 2.5 hr(!) tour of the garden one morning. All this is provided by simply superb staff - reception, housekeeping, management, bar, garden, restaurant - everyone was brilliant and always so friendly. This was our first visit, and we felt as welcome as all the many repeat guests. Our whole stay was faultless, and so kind that they are flexible with departure time - with a night flight, we continued to enjoy everything until 5 p.m., it's a hard place to leave!
