We stayed a few days at Hermitage Bay before moving on to our Seadream Yacht vacation. Nice place, extremely quiet even for my wife and I who enjoy a little quiet time adjusting to the time change and unwinding from the daily grind before our real vacation. Service was fair, not five star, with the restaurant help going through the motions and the food ok but not terrific. There were a lot of bugs and many folks were not prepared and complained a lot. Secret is always the skin so soft stuff from Avon and we didn't t get one bite. It is almost impossible to sit outside at night and the mosquito nets over the beds are a must. It is a bit remote and one gets the feeling that the place could use a shot of red bull for the absolute lack of energy in the place; it is way beyond quiet.... Also no gym and the spa is a bit lame...

We stayed at Hermitage Bay for our honeymoon in November. Everything was amazing. The resort is absolutely beautiful, the food delicious and the staff are so wonderful. We were between two resorts and are so thrilled that we were able to stay at Hermitage Bay. The view from our hillside suite was stunning and the suite itself was gorgeous. The trip was pure relaxation and bliss. Having the plunge pool was amazing - after a day on the beach it was so wonderful to come back to the room, make a drink and take a dip and watch the sun set before getting ready for dinner. We had the most amazing meals, everything was always prepared perfectly and there were always fabulous choices. We only wish we could get Wadadli beer here to make the Wadadli battered fish goujon. We cannot stop talking about our time at Hermitage Bay and hope to return soon. We cannot recommend this resort enough. If you are looking for a low key, relaxing vacation - this is the place! Thank you to Roz, Ken and Vera for making our stay so amazing. And thank you to Wendy for making this dream honeymoon possible, you were so wonderful and we thank you for all your help! You are simply the best! If there were more than five stars we would apply them to every aspect of this resort! Hope to see you soon!

We stayed at Hermitage Bay last December as a couple and had an amazing time. My wife had been in hospital several times in 2010 and the surgeon recommended a complete breakaway in the sun, something we have never done before as we are more the adventuring types (or so we thought). Once we arrived at Hermitage Bay we where blown away by the simple rustic beauty, the amazing staff and the great amenities.

There is wild life literately all around you from the Mongooses to the stunning Humming birds.

Our 8 days where so good last year that we promised ourselves we would go back and we are on November 23rd for another 8 days of glorious luxury but this time we are taking our daughter and her boyfriend. Once again we have gone for Hillside Suites.

My son, aged 17, and I went to Hermitage Bay to have a relaxing break away. The surroundings are beautiful, gardens immaculately kept and the beach is quiet and tranquil, no piped music, just the sound of the waves and no hard sell from beach vendors, just a lovely lady called Claudia selling home made jewellery made out of shells, wood and stones.
Our suites were excellent and the maid service ensured my son's room stayed immaculate despite clothes being dropped on the floor. While he took time out to study for exams in his suite I was relaxing on the beach being brought cooling drinks and chilled fresh fruit - just bliss.
The evenings were a delight, the bar and dining area are transformed with candles and make a lovely backdrop to cocktails and a delicious dinner. The food is excellent and the choices are wide ranging and all beautifully cooked and presented.
The staff are the true stars of this beautiful resort, they are welcoming, friendly, fun and yet professional - they are a very special part of my memory of this lovely holiday.

I hope to return one day.
