This resort was outstanding. Great accommodations, quiet, and great views. The dinner restaurant is very good. We were very hungry when we arrived. The front desk should have directed us to their restaurant; instead, they were giving offsite options. I don't think that they were aware of the hotel's restaurant hours. We inadvertently learned that the hotel restaurant was open. The best restaurant in the area is Fox House. Be sure to ask the front desk for the restaurant's free shuttle. We unnecessarily paid for a taxi, only to later learn that the front desk knew of this free service and didn't offer it. However your get there, go to the Fos House.

La nostra recensione si limita al ristorante, mirabilmente diretto dal executive chef Alessandro Moncada che ringraziamo per l’apprezzata Gentile accoglienza. Il ristorante ci è stato consigliato ( come ottimo ) da Charmaine - bravissima Interior designer - una cara amica oramai . È consigliabile la prenotazione, anche per il contesto in cui è inserito il ristorante con accesso riservato agli ospiti di questo resort . La location è superba s’affaccia al tramonto sulla bellissima soffice spiaggia dorata di Ffryes . Siamo arrivati prima per appunto godere anche di questo bellissimo specchio di mare . Il servizio da subito è stato premuroso nel farci sentire a nostro agio, offrendoci anche uno dei loro comodi “sofà da spiaggia” . Il ristorante s’affaccia sul mare, contiguo alla spiaggia . La carta è invitante la interpretiamo come un fusion di mediterraneità rivisitata in prospettiva internazionale, la realizzazione dei piatti sebbene non ci ha entusiasmati sono piaciuti . La zuppetta di pesce con questi gamberi ( non sgusciato ) piccolissimi diventa un’impresa mangiarli e ho rinunciato volentieri, la 1ª zuppa era immangiabile x quanto fosse StraCotta , sono stati veramente tanto professionali quanto gentilì nel rimediare con una 2ª zuppa risultata essere buona ( gambero a parte ) . Il secondo piatto , carne di agnello uno spiedo buono , dessert buono . Ecco a distanza di due settimane rimane impresso poco dell’esperienza food al Tamarind . La spesa è stata alta . Il ricordo positivo prevale più sul servizio che non sulla cucina .

“Amazing Beach”

Come for the beach! The beach is spectacular. Perfect sand, perfect water, quiet, beautiful. The beach was super quiet when we were there and there was never an issue getting chairs. We were there during Easter break so I assume it was crowded, yet it never felt that way. The service on the beach w… Più

Come for the beach! The beach is spectacular. Perfect sand, perfect water, quiet, beautiful. The beach was super quiet when we were there and there was never an issue getting chairs. We were there during Easter break so I assume it was crowded, yet it never felt that way. The service on the beach was decent. Often the servers came quickly to get orders but, in typical Caribbean fashion, sometimes they just didn’t show up for a 1/2 hour. There are little buttons in your palapa to press for service. The food on the beach was also decently good, same for the drinks. There isn’t much to walk to on the beach. A local beach bar or two, but that’s all. The other food at the resort left something to be desired. Breakfast was inconsistent at best. There was a small buffet the first few days we were there. Then suddenly, the location of the breakfast changed and you had to order off a limited menu. We chose to leave each night for dinner. Although we had rented a car, we rarely used it. The roads are very bad and dark and not marked. So we took cabs to dinner. The cabs were very expensive- $30 to go literally down the road. The dinner choices at the hotel were very limited so keep that in mind. Our room was about halfway up the property. Yes, it’s a lot of steps, but after lounging on the beach all day, we were happy to tackle the stairs. Our view was beautiful, the room was large and well maintained. One very odd thing was the bathroom. It had a wall of wooden slats that looked into the main bedroom area. The slats did not close. The room itself, has all large, glass windows and doors. Therefore- your shower is far from a private affair. Aside from the beach staff, we found the rest of the staff to be indifferent. We would get conflicting info from different staff members. Every day I would contact them asking for extra bath towels and everyday it would take hours to get the towels. The hotel is also a Hilton property and we were told we would receive our Hilton points after check out. Well, 3 months later we are still waiting. Hilton says the hotel itself has to take care of it, because while it’s a Hilton property, it’s not run by them( or something like that.) The hotel says they don’t have the ability to give the points. Since the hotel assured us, at checkin, that we would get the points upon leaving, this is annoying frustrating. The hotel itself is rather isolated and coupled with the difficult driving conditions, we rarely left the property. Exploring the island was more difficult than anticipated from this location. If you are looking to just chill and relax in a low key, unassuming resort then this is the perfect spot for you.
