This was a repeat visit for me. I like Fourways and have always been quite comfortable there. Housekeeping was fine, my room was kept clean and neat. Linens were changed regularly during my stay. I enjoy the breakfast service and having a leisurely opportunity to read the paper over my coffee. The view from the balcony was wonderful.
As to the service level, it is clear the restaurant is the priority but I have never had difficulty locating a member of staff when I need something. When the manager and assistant manager are off property someone else is there and can be contacted by phone for service.
I will return.

Trip Advisor reviews that we read on the Fourways makes us wonder about the validity of Trip Advisor reviews. That being said:

Restaurant - Wonderful food and staff...dessert souffles are to die for, incredibly talented pianist.."Salvio."

Cottages - hard to even understand the relationship with the cottages and restaurant. Kind of like the difference between Heaven and Hell.

It took us two days to get over the shock of how dirty our cottage was and the nightly task of killing a variety of sizes and numerous roaches. While not finding them under the bed covers, we frequently brushed them off the spread. Also found them in our luggage; when packing to leave we will have to shake our luggage out and hoped they haven't laid eggs.

The tile floors throughout were filthy. Any mopping done seems to consist of pushing very dirty water into room and cabinet corners to dry into a mound of sludge. Toilet set was sticky when you lifted the lid. Towels were worn, dirty and gray.

Previous bathroom water leaks have not been repaired properly and unit reeks of mold/mildew.

Laundry Service - we had a small amount of laundry we needed to have done; no laundry bags in room. My husband called the front desk several times and no one answered; he also went to the front office several times and could not locate anyone to speak with. When he finally did (two days later) he was told they don't have laundry service and if we could catch the maid, maybe she would be willing? Vague and unhelpful and we felt that they probably weren't paying their bills and local laundries would not provide service to them.

We found several laundry/dry cleaners in Yellow Pages; all ads stating they would provide pick up and delivery service to hotels.

We understand the humid island climate; however we have been to other islands and have also lived in very humid places as well.Roaches and other bugs, and mold and mildew quickly become a big issue if ignored and not addressed promptly and diligently.

It was apparent to us that the owners or investors are putting all their money in the restaurant and letting the cottages go (actually, they've already gone). We finally decided, even though there was a 21-day cancellation policy that we would find another place, even if we had to pay for the rest of our stay at the Fourways and a new hotel somewhere else.

We found very CLEAN and hospitable boutique hotel in Hamilton, Rosedon, (after a recommendation from two other travelers that were also moving out of the Fourways to the Rosedon) with a very helpful staff and far more amenities (including an excellent laundry service); a FULL breakfast, afternoon tea, Rum Swizzler Nights on Tuesdays with hor d'ouerves and entertainment. Room service lunch and light dinners were also available. Staff could not have been friendlier and more helpful.

When we packed up and checked out of the Fourways, the manager apologized and said they were having issues with their maids (I don't think the maids would be responsible for spraying/treating roaches or for poor maintenance and overall rundown dinginess of units, including piles of broken equipment, old mops piled behind the cottages). He was at least gracious enough not to charge us for the day we checked out and for the other nights of our booked stay.

This was apparently also not the best time to travel to Bermuda . Rainy season and we only saw the sun a couple times. We could deal with the rain, but not a filthy hotel or over 90% of the businesses closed for the holidays. A majority of island businesses close down from December 23 through January 4 and in some cases through March. We rode the local buses and taxis, but did not get to do much shopping for souvenirs as everything was closed. St. George only had a small grocery store open...tourists were wandering around the town very puzzled. A couple of the local taxi drivers told us that Bermuda was struggling severely economically and that several cruise ships had taken Bermuda off their list of stops. Bermuda does not export any products so everything is imported and expensive. We were also frequently warned about island crime - break-ins into hotel rooms; murders and shootings.

Our next Caribbean trip will be back to a far more amenable Antigua.

We were guests at the Four Ways Inn in March 2006 and could not wait to return as the accomodations, service and food were outstanding. We have just returned from a six night stay over New Year's and have to say that only the food merits our accolades. Upon arrival to the Sloop cottage we were disapppointed to find that the sute appeared run down and lacking attention to detail. Light bulbs were missing in two lamps, bathroom towels were thin, grey and stained, one complimentary bath robe was ripped on the sleeve and belt and a thick layer of dust was apparent on the top door of the medicine cabinet. The furnishings were dated and unattractive. Only one of the two heater/air conditioners in the suite was functioning. We requested immediately that a missing iron be replaced and light bulbs and a new robe be furnished. The iron and robe were forthcoming only after an employee verified that indeed these items were defective; the light bulbs took two more requests and three days to be furnished. We needed local information about the ferries and busses and found no one at the front desk most of the time. On the rare occasion that we did communicate with an employee at Four Ways conflicting or little information was proferred. After New Year's Day the entire entry area of the Inn was dark, uninviting and bereft of employees. The breakfast was served to our door but compared to our first visit the quality and presentation had declined noticeably. Gone were the little glass jam jars replaced by restaurant style plastic peal back pats; although we requested tea the lukewarm water came on most days in a coffee carafe the silverware was ready for replacement and the breakfest was, although adequate, after six days varied only by what was not on the fruit plate. We could go on and on (sheets never renewed; rusting bathroom fixtures;barely enough hot water in the shower) but suffice it to say that there is trouble in paradise. The devil is in the detaits it is said and it was that lack of attention to details that have left us feeling unwelcome, poorly served and ultimately overcharged. When we paid our bill and checked out we were not even asked how was our stay. They know. I would be embarrassed to do so too.

I'm writing this review now, but my family and I had visited Bermuda in late August of this year. This cottage community was one of the highlights of my trip! I took many beautiful pictures here of the flowers, buildings, and property. I love how it's historic and laid back. There's also very nice free continental breakfasts each morning that they deliver to your room! You can get tea, fresh fruit, pastries, jams etc. The front office was very helpful and always there to arrange for our taxi rides. A special thanks to Alex and his staff!!! They are also very knowledgeable about the beaches, restaurants, and things to do on the island. The pool is great and was a pleasure to swim in. The town of Paget is very nice. If you're looking for a quiet stay, this inn is definitely worth considering! From the inn, you can walk to a great local creole style take-out restaurant that has very tasty food especially the curry shrimp. If I come back to Bermuda, I'll stay here again!!!
