It’s lovely here despite ongoing renovations!
Rented a car and explored a bit of the island. Very kind people and very nice place
Putting this on TUG in case anyone has questions since I couldn’t find a lot of info online when I looked before coming.
Suggestions (my opinions only, YMMV!)
- Stop at Massy supermarket (nicer) or Glace before getting to hotel (I had to pay $22 for a bottle of sunblock at the resort yikessss)
- Renting a car at the airport (UVF) and driving to Windjammer can be an adventure… it’s 1.5 hours of windy roads and they drive on the opposite side of Americans. I found out when I got here that there’s a ferry from UVF to the resort which I probably would have taken had I known. A cab from the airport to Windjammer is $90 USD if arranged through the resort.
- The spa massage was $160 USD for 80 minutes, but we had a nice surprise on the bill and saw they took 25% off for “owners”. They also gave us a complimentary scrub (the spa ladies came down to the beach and asked us why we hadn’t been to the spa yet and offered to book us with a free scrub add on). I would repurchase this massage, I thought it was worth it!
- Windjammer has an app and they have a lot of info on it (daily activities, menus, etc) but getting a hold of them through the app or the WhatsApp is a challenge… I suggest you call instead, they never responded to queries from the app and were very slow on WhatsApp
- They are currently upgrading everyone due to renovations! I booked a 2 bd and got a 3 bd. Just fyi in case you want to ask some last minute friends or fam to join you!
- Elena’s at Rodney Bay for lunch was nice and about 1/3 of what we spent for lunch at Jammers at the resort, unsurprisingly.
We’re going on a tour tomorrow with Exodus booked through Tyler ($145 USD per person), I can provide a review tomorrow. If anyone has any questions, let me know!
Did I mention it’s lovely here? <3 I would return!!
