We had a fantastic stay at Carlisle Bay. The beach is beautiful and ideal for families, and the large pool was perfect for the kids. The food was consistently good across all three restaurants, and there was plenty to do. We enjoyed tennis lessons, tubing, snorkelling and scuba diving, and the kids were entertained from morning to night. They loved the kids club - which had no screens. The standout, though, was the staff. Every single person we met was friendly, attentive and genuinely helpful. It’s clear they are exceptionally well trained, and they made the whole stay feel effortless. We’d happily come back.

Giselle

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
1. Room: We were assigned suite 4. The window in the kids’ room had no glass, only a mosquito net. We asked to be changed to a normal room but they didn’t have any left. The staff tried to fit in a plexiglass and as the measures would not coincide with those of the window, decided to seal it with blue tape… The room decor is dated and the furniture inside and outside shows signs of wear and tear. Some rooms had mosquito nets in the balcony doors, some didn’t… The overall level of cleaning was poor and there was a significant level of built up dirt in the bathroom, rooms and kitchen. 2. Hotel: The property is small. There are only three restaurants and a beach grill that is more like a bar. Two of the restaurants (Italian and Asian) share a kitchen… The pool is small and does not have any views. The gym is compact but complete. I did not use the spa nor tennis facilities. 3. Beach: The beach is lovely and the sea has crystalline and warm waters. No seaweed. Plenty of marine life (we saw trumpet fish, turtles, rays and barracudas a few meters from the shore). The loungers are comfortable. 4. Water sports: Kayak, paddle board and pedal board were available. The paddle-boards were quite run down. The hotel also offers motor boat activities but both boats were out of service for the week. We could only wakeboard once and they only have a male wake size 46… 5. Staff: Perhaps the greatest asset the hotel has!!! Friendly, attentive, willing to go out of their way.

The beach is gorgeous and the staff are fantastic. Good selection of non-motorised water sports, bed is comfy and the free minibar (soft drinks only) is a nice touch. Only reasons for 4 not 5 star rating was that I thought the on site restaurants were a little over priced for the food as were the drinks, and shower gels etc we’re not replenished (minor touch I appreciate).
