Hope Bay Hotel Guide - 3 Stars Hotels in Hope Bay, Portland

"The old security was very pleasant and helpful. The hotel was close to everywhere we needed."

"Shirley Retreat Hotel was super clean and accommodating. My son and I was able to rest good the beds slept well and the rooms are super spacious. We were there for a tennis tournament and it is positioned near some good restaurants within walking distance. I would definitely rebook upon my return."

"Overall, we had a pleasant stay. The hotel offers a beautiful view over the bay and has a great boutique feel, with the hotel, restaurant, and bar all seamlessly integrated in one place. The atmosphere is lively yet relaxed, and the staff were consistently friendly and welcoming. The main downside was the room, which did not quite match our expectations. While it was very spacious, it featured a mezzanine floor with steep steps that felt unsafe for our baby—something that wasn’t apparent from the photos. In addition, the large wall of windows had no curtains, so we were woken up early each morning by daylight. Lastly, there seemed to be an issue with the hot water, which fluctuated between very cold and very hot."

"Yes"

"The beach at French Man Cove us beautiful, and can visited by purchasing a pass for the day. I'd highly recommend this rather than staying at the hotel. The hotel is old, dilapidated in places and very dark at night. The kettle in the room produced very dirty water on first use, so was not used again. The AC unit outside is noisy, and leaks water onto the balcony. There is wooden block stick provided to secure the balcony door, as I assume locks don't work. The beds within the rooms are very small, particularly length wise. Returning from the beach after sunset is a very dark walk, with very few lights leading to the rooms. Security staff and the lifeguards were helpful, however beach bar staff (which is the only place to access food on site as the kitchen is unavailable due to renovations) were slow to assist and rarely ventured onto the beach to take orders/assist. Guests of the hotel are required to pay for beach chairs, the same as visitors to the beach."

"Beautiful peaceful surrounding in an ideal location to view the beaches close by. Frenchman Cove being my favourite. Goblin Hill is private and serene for a couple or family reunion. Food from their restaurant is delicious,especially the pumpkin soup. It was easy to get around via the local taxis. All the staff were very kind and helpful. The stairs to the beach is very tricky to use so use the main road."

"Was located well close to some good night spots / fast food and shops. Gated off with a key to leave whenever, bathroom too squashed and small tho."

"Lively proprty but has seen better days. Its starting to look its age. It urgentlyrequires TLC. We had the best massage"

"The Air condition and Tv work, but no INTERNET/ 2 Queens size bed, of which one of the bed blocks the entrance to bathroom. Electric kettle with no set up for hot beverages. The refrigerator remained unplugged because there was nowhere to plug it. No electrical outlet in the bathroom and no shelves, table, chair, desk or storage space. There was a lot of uninvited guest and people sleeping in the sofa of the lobby."
