“Great Views, A Little Past its Prime”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2012

The hotel looks like it was once a higher end resort that has lost some its luster over time. Nevertheless, it looks like the current owners and staff are doing all they can to keep it up and make it a pleasant experience. Other posters are correct about the steps. There is one flight up to get to the restaurant and lounge from the driveway (which is steep), then at least another flight to get to the rooms. However the room we had offered a 180 degree view of the harbor and a nice deck to sit on to watch the boats go by. I thought the room was very nice, my wife thought it was a bit dated. The view was worth it. The restaurant and bar was very good, but a little slow on food delivery the night we were there. Other than that, the staff was excellent and very helpful. It is about a 15 minute walk to the ferry and 20 minutes to town. A grocery store is across the street going away from town. If steps are not an issue, this hotel should be a bargain for you.

“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”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 March 2011

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”

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.
