Firstly, despite its name this is not a beachfront hotel, it is situateda few minutes walk from the fabulous St Georges beach, some 20 minuteswalk from the town centre along the boardwalk. On arrival all looked great, the hotel islaid out in a lovely garden setting, very well maintained.
We had booked and paid for an "elegant" room. We were aware that the hotel had no lift . We may be of a certain agebut have no problem with "normal" stairs but the access to our room (room 6) was via a long (about 30 steps to the top) steep, narrow (80 cm) staircase without handrails. This was mentioned to staff and we were quickly offered a lower room, still acessed by stairs but shorter and of a more normal width. The new room was a standard double, just like the first room it was clean and comfortable but had a very tiny shower/wc compartmentwhich could be difficult for a large person to access.
Apart from the access problems the hotel was fine, breakfast was very good, the staff pleasant, knowledgable and helpfull. The pool was good with a cafe open afternoons with a limited menu of snacks and drinks, plenty of sunbeds but few umberellas.
A refund for thedifference in cost of the rooms was requested, at first staff seemed hopeful but later said NO as it was our choice to move.
As 2 star hotels go, apart from possible access problems, this one is good but neither the hotel website or Expedia mention access. Despite the above we we had a very pleasant stay and really enjoyed the island.
