Lesser Antilles hotel guide. Benchmark hotel in Lesser Antilles, Caribbean

"This was a wonderful stay, at a really beautiful location. We had an ocean/bay view in pirate's pension & it was a fabulous room, like a mini suite complete with sink, microwave, mini fridge, coffee maker, couch & coffee table, dining table, & patio balcony, with table & chairs, even had a washer & dryer. Despite what listing said it definitely has towels, both room & pool towels. Room was clean. View is awesome. There is a lot of walking/stairs in this resort & even though it is not far, it is not easy to walk into town on those very steep mountain roads, especially in the heat. They do have golf carts that can drive you around the resort only but not to the bottom of the entrance. There is no free airport shuttle. Taxis are generally $12-15/pp & you are charger per person, each way. There is no Uber or Lyft. Car rental is VERY expensive (we were told $1400 for a jeep wrangler for 5 days) & it's often hard to find parking. I recommend taxis, but get the # of your driver & use the same one the whole time, they're very accommodating. You will likely have to share a taxi with others. Hotel amenities were simple but pretty great, a nice pool & hot tub, pool bar closed at 4p & then the open air on site restaurant is open til late & overlooks the pool & harbor also. There are some activities on certain nights like bingo or karaoke. You can (self guided)tour Blackbeard's historic castle for $5, which was pretty cool to see the 360* view at the top. Overall great & would return! "

"The Beach was amazing everything else not so much "

"The property was exactly what the pictures showed. The view was ok was able to see the pool and the ocean from the room. Over all I would recommend. Please look into cleaning prices prior to arrival they charge you as soon as you arrive depending on your room and the room damage fees as well. "

"My room was ocean view. It was a beautiful sight to see abd hear the ocean during my visit ."

"Great staff"

"Don't plan on getting access to your room right away! We arrived 3 hrs. early and asked to check our bags as the room was not yet ready. We returned at check in time and still had to wait an additional 1.5 hrs. for check in. The room itself was fine. The bar on site did not opened until 5:30 pm and the restaurant was less than desirable in atmosphere, quality of food and more. the best thing about this Hotel is that it is walking distance from the Charolotte Amilie Ferry. If you're taking an early ferry and don't mind walking to town it may work for you. "

"Clean rooms Some staff now friendly No entertainment "

"We had a great stay on this incredible property. A few things that stood out were the kind staff, ideal location, and amazing facility."

"It's ok. Convenient location, nice sized rooms. Be able to walk and climb many stairs to get to your room. Only 1 good option that is meh, staff is unresponsive, slow, and will just lie to make you go away and not deal with you on anything - even trivial things like getting a cab in the morning."
