“Great sailor's location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 May 2011
5
people found this review helpful

The views are beautiful and I loved the location--right across from Conch Charters and TMM Yacht Charters. I'm not sure what some reviewers are expecting, but when in the Caribbean you need to relax into island time. If I wanted the Holiday Inn I would have stayed there. Fort Burt has a relaxed island flavor with roosters crowing rather than alarm clocks blaring. Our room was clean and comfortable. The pool overlooking the harbor was also clean and inviting. The staff sent someone to the airport just to make sure we made it in and kept the bar open late so we could get fresh ice and a Painkiller after a long day of travel. I would stay there again.

“Service was terrible! Would not stay here again.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 March 2011

The hotel was not a bad place to stay. It was quaint with beautiful views. However, the rooms were musty and old, our bathroom window was stuck open with no screen and our refrigerator woke us up making outrageous sounds! Not to mention that everyday we were woken up by the retched sound of roosters outside our door! As a group, we were given group rates based on 1 too many hotel rooms (which they wouldn't let us cancel) and were told that breakfast/dinner were included at $30/day. This did not include any of the specials or desserts and after staying there for 7 days with an unchanging menu, eating the same 6 items over and over was boring! When we inquired about not using the meal plan, we were told we could not cancel it. Thus, leaving us with an extra $30/day bill for food we didn't want! Additionally, the service was terrible at the restaurant and typically took over an hour for breakfast and at least 2 for dinner!

On the other hand, some of the food was quite delicious (dinner only, not breakfast). The menu could use more exciting items for breakfast or perhaps even healthier options or more basic options for those who don't eat much breakfast.

Overall, should I return to this island, I would definitely stay somewhere else! I felt ripped off and hidden charges just kept adding up!

“Clean but fading hotel”

Good housekeeping. Torn drapes, permanently open screenless bathroom window, refrigerator compressor made a terrible noise, wake up call didn't come through but the many roosters will wake you at 6:15 anyways. No alarm clock. Low water pressure; can't take a proper shower. Good views but AC noise.

“Would not hesitate to stay here again”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 February 2011

Hotel location was quiet, room was clean, there aren't a lot of stairs as one reviewer suggested, breakfast was a little pricey but then again the whole VI's are expensive, nice short safe walk along a main road to main part of downtown, supper was awesome and reasonably priced at the restaurant, would definitely stay here again.

“I will stay again!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2011
3
people found this review helpful

Ok, so lets start by all these bad reviews and complaints about the stairs...it makes no sense for this hotel to have an elevator. Its an old Fort and the rooms are spread out throughout a hill which is what gives each room the spectacular view from their balcony. I stayed a whole week and let me tell you I have NOT ONE complaint. Now, if you are expecting a Four Seasons, you are in for a big disappointment. Now if you are looking for a great value for your $$, this is the place. Great location, views, comfy food and pillows. Cable TV, wi fi, and great A/C make it feel as that you are in a real hotel with the charm of a guest room at some beach house with a not pretending good customer service. God only knows how picky I am, and I can tell you I loved this little place!!!
