This was a really great place to stay. Not far from the water taxi (we could easily walk there with our rolling luggage) and in the middle of everything. Our hosts were so friendly and recommended wonderful restaurants and snorkeling. The hotel has its own beach area which is nice with hammocks as well. I would definitely stay here again.

Our room was very clean. The location is great and in the middle of all the great places. Ice & Beans is across the way and that’s where we got coffee and breakfast every morning. I really enjoyed our stay at the Rainbow.

We had a great stay at Rainbow hotel! We had an upgrade the first night which was awesome. The only small issue was that our bathroom had a bad drain smell in there. Hopefully that gets fixed soon. Otherwise everything was great!

Good location but not staffed regularly

The lobby is not staffed regularly and when we arrived, a family, it was closed. The rooms were big, clean and nice. The location is good. Good positive thing: the kept my baggage. Not worth the price. Very expensive. But the hotels on the island are unjustifiably expensive.

We had a great 9-day stay at the Rainbow Hotel. Here's the down low. The good: - Great location close to the split - Recently renovated rooms with comfortable queen-sized beds - Air conditioning with full control - A great shower with plenty of hot water - Very friendly and helpful staff - Has it's own small section of beachfront with plenty of shade, picnic tables and sun lounges - You can go for a dip right off the hotel dock (about 4 ft deep). We saw about 10 different fish, a nurse shark a stingray and a spotted eagle ray all in/around the dock - Great coffee bar next door (Ice and Beans) - We had a hinge broken on the cupboard. When brought to the attention of the staff they fixed it within 2 hrs - They rent bikes which are in better shape than most of the others I saw on the island - The Rainbow Restaurant is pretty decent (different management, but right there!) and is built right over the water The bad: - It's a noisy area. The air conditioner creates a fair bit of white noise that masks the sound from outside so this wasn't a major problem. - Although it has a 'kitchenette', there are no plates/bowls/cutlery. So it's mostly only useful for storing leftovers and reheating - The sun loungers are in pretty bad shape and need maintenance We were supposed to move to a different hotel halfway through, but we enjoyed the Rainbow hotel so much we extended our stay! Would definitely stay again.

Fantastic! Beautiful family run business. Grounds were well kept. Felt welcomed and at home. Was bummed when we had to go. Lots of humming birds and other birds around. I didn’t get to see a Toucan but they frequent the property. Other places to stay around the area but if you are looking for a relaxing stay this is the place. They also offer a car rental for $70 US a day. They have a kitchen run by ROSE the mother and her daughter. Brilliant food. (Only for their guests) We only ate their food while staying in the cabins. If you are into cool plants they have many.

The staff was great! They were very helpful and kind. The room was bigger than I thought it would be from the pictures, which is always a nice surprise! It was spotless, too! It’s in the perfect location, code to everything and just a couple of blocks from the “city center” so it was quiet to sleep.

Great value!

This hotel was a lovely bargain right across the street from the beach. Comfortable room, nice amenities and Ernie at the front desk was a gem and a great communicator before I even arrived. Nice restaurants within walking distance as well as the ferry terminal. The only reason I gave it a lower grade on the eco-conscious area was that I really didn’t need my towels washed daily but there was no sign to hang on the door.
