Stayed here a couple of years ago - a big birthday with a zero on the end! Had stayed at a couple of different places on the island - and this was the highlight - my birthday - and the last couple of nights.

There was no restaurant on the night that we arrived - so they left a FANTASTIC dinner for 2 waiting for us in the room. 10/10.

Following morning was my birthday - breakfast was a dream, and then lunch on the terrace............boat over to Green Island for an hour snorkling in the shallows (hubbie doesn't like deep water so was perfect for beginers)...... followed by cocktails in the old tower - watching the sunset........and then a lovely dinner on the decked area. What could be better?

Room was a bit more basic than I was expecting - but the shower was a treat (and is a new benchmark to be compared to!).

2 or 3 nights was perfect for us.

Plus
- nice enough villas, recently refurbished
- great restaurant (lunchtimes only)
- beautiful location

Minus
- overpriced - and there are a few annoying little problems with the villas (insect screens don't fit, sliding door broken, "king-size" matteress was just 2 singles puched together) which you don't expect at over $400/night
- no beach and the coral at green island is almost all dead, making the free shuttle boat service there fairly pointless
- also, the shuttle boat driver was incredibly rude
- there is nowhere to eat in the evenings except Tamarind bar just down the road, and this is closed on Mondays so next option is 40 minutes away in English Harbour

The total isolation of this place - having only the security guard for company after 5pm - could be a plus or a minus depending on what you want. They are planning new villas and a spa in the future so this may change.

With my busy exec lifestyle, I do not want to be near a TV, computer or phone. At Harmony Hall, there is none and that's the beauty of the place.

This is not a hotel, it is an upscale B&B. The rooms are spacious as well as the bathrooms. Each one has a relaxing patio looking onto an open field. The free breakfast is filling and the eating area overlooks the bay. The staff are incredibly accomodating and unlike some places like this, the owner has included the tips in the price of the accomodations.

The restaurant is Italian-Caribbean Fusion and well know on the island.

The location is on the east side of the island, away from the tourist areas, but only 10 minutes from the best beach.

We spent 3 nights at Harmony Hall and absolutely loved it. The restaurant was outstanding, the staff were lovely, and the setting was unique. To us, this was Tuscany meets the Caribbean. If you're looking for a true get-away, this is the place to go. Days revolve around the leisurely, incredible meals, boat rides to Green Island, and quiet time on your patio. This a very remote area of the island - its a place to stay a while.

We opted to rent a car and make the drive from St Johns. We expected it to be a little harrowing, but the south-east side of the island is quiet - lots of goats and rolling hills. One day we took a trip into English Harbor, but other than that we were very content to stay at the inn. Americans can be hesitant about driving on the "wrong" side of the road, but if you concentrate, its not too bad ("stay left!)

I recccomend getting a massage. There is a grass hut on the beach - and the woman was incredible. Pains I had for months were gone in an hour.

In our opinion, this is not a place for kids. Its very quiet, romantic and there is very little for kids to do. We have kids at home, but we were VERY glad that there were none while we were there.

Enjoy Harmony Hall. The name is perfect...
