After reading reviews on the Blue Horizon Hotel, I certainly wasn't looking forward to going there. It was a business trip however, and this was the hotel we had been checked into. I was pleasantly surprised when I got there. My room was brightly painted, clean well-equipped. There was no problem with my air conditioner or plumbing as some reviewers had complained about. The front desk staff was courteous and helpful. The only thing was the continental breakfast which really didn't encourage one to wake up early for. However my room was equipped with all that I needed to prepare a proper breakfast for myself. Management may want to consider giving one the option of choosing to have the breakfast, instead of making it a compulsory cost on the price of the room. The hotel is strategically situated: close to the airport, shops, restaurants and of course the beach. You can even catch a bus right outside the hotel.

Stayed here for our honeymoon and first visit to the Carribean. Must say we were pleasantly surprised by the hotel and it's staff!

Upon arrival we were given a room right above the pool/restaurant area, which was okay, but since we were on our honeymoon we asked the receptionist if there was another room available, with a nicer view. We were told that we could move into one of the rooms in the building to the right of the reception, overlooking the beach, next morning. This really made our holiday!

The restaurant/breakfast was simple, but okay, I really liked the banana bread.and pan cakes. If you want a fantastic meal you should try Champers, across the road.

We loved the short distance to the beach, the friendly staff and the local area, in general. Would definitley go back!

OK...the location of the hotel is good...right across the street from the beach. Can't really complain about that.

The hotel itself is on prime real estate, but is long past its prime. The hotel accommodations are barely adequate....plainly furnished rooms, outdated bathroom with rusty shower, old linens, towels, and bed spread. They provide a 19" box TV from the 80's with poor reception from DirecTV (with a message along the bottom of CNN informing us that there bill is past due), internet for $10/day that has a hard time staying connected (mutliple issues with this), and a continental breakfast that is miniscule (2 slices of toast, 1 piece of some kind of sweet bread, 1 cup of coffee, and a small glass of some kind of awful tasting orange juice). If you want to add to the breakfast, such as eggs and bacon, that will be an extra $28 (BBD...$14US),

The staff seems OK. They are not overly friendly or appreciative that you are staying in their hotel, but not necessarily rude. In fact, the people as a whole are not nearly as friendly as other Caribbean Islands that are more dependent on tourism. The one highlight is that the staff does a nice job of cleaning the room (with what they have to work with).

On a good note: The AC worked fine and hot water does eventually appear (does take a while....5 min or so).

One other note: This property is next door to a fast food restaurant with an extremely loud drive-up speaker...can easily be heard in the room until midnight or so.

Blue Horizon is a budget hotel, so you will get exactly that. The price is still a bit high for a budget hotel though, but since occupancy is relatively high, they are "not worried". Wireless Internet access is a "hit or miss", it is anyone's guess if it will be working when you turn on your laptop or mobile device. Staff in the Dining room needs a bit of customer service training, since it seems as though you must give a big tip to get a smile! Sorry, but is the truth.
