Enjoyed staying here for 2 relaxing weeks. Our 2 bedroom unit #6 on the 2nd floor was nicely furnished, exceptionally clean, well equipped with everything we needed, including a spacious kitchen, smart TV, and small outside patio to enjoy a peek of the distant water view. (The building where all rooms are located is set back behind a bar and restaurant building, so just be aware that you won’t have any view of the beach itself.)
The Gem management and entire staff were wonderfully friendly and helpful. Daily housekeeping was provided and the room was always kept immaculately clean with fresh flowers and towels. Our housekeeper was always delightful, friendly and attentive to ensure we were comfortable and had everything we needed.
Being able use the beach, pool, bar and restaurant of the adjacent Kalinago hotel was very much appreciated, as they had the nicest beach area and restrooms. Beach chairs were occasionally available, however most were broken, torn or ‘reserved’ early by guests. The beach was beautiful when we could find chairs to enjoy it.
The hotel restaurant / bar had excellent food although we didn’t use it much as the menu was quite limited. We enjoyed the Saturday BBQ on the beach at the adjacent Kalinago hotel, complete with lobster, reggae music and a bonfire, although we felt it was too expensive. We also enjoyed two nearby restaurants which were within walking distance. (Don’t miss the barracuda tacos at nearby LaPlywood beach bar!).
