Sunset Beach Hotel, Carriacou.

Great stay once again.

Once again my wife and I have just spent four nights at Sunset Beach Hotel which improves each visit. This time our room (no1) had a small cooker and large fridge/freezer, the double bed was very comfortable and the shower was really powerful which we enjoyed. Our friends stayed in room 5 which had the luxury of air conditioning (rarely found on Carriacou)
Sunset beach hotel although a small fairly basic hotel is set on the aptly named Paradise beach which has to be one of the best locations in Caribbean. The management and staff we found to be friendly and helpful and a good night’s sleep is assured being free from barking dogs. We would highly recommend Sunset beach hotel

I’ve been to Carriacou on many occasions so after returning to the island after several years absence I was expecting the same warmth and charm from this wonderful part of the world.

We stayed on paradise beach at the Paradise Inn hotel. The hotel comprises of six cottages which consist of a bedroom and on suit bathroom but no hot water, there’s no air-conditioning or fridge to store any foods or drinks. All the rooms are entered via glass patio doors that can be locked.

The location is fantastic with Carriacou’s best beach near a hand. The hotel staff were friendly, our only complaint was at night time when the staff abandoned the hotel and left it completely unattended. There were no gates or security to stop people from walking through the hotel complex which was the case constantly during the day, and on the night before we left we were rudely awoken by someone trying to force open our patio door, then again much later at 2am in the morning. Thankfully my shouts seemed to frighten them away but the experience was extremely unpleasant. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel for this reason.

I had read good reviews of the Paradise Inn and above all the location that made me want to stay there.

We stayed there for three nights and were happy with our choice. Apart from anything else, it was difficult to find anywhere else that would take us for less than a week in peak season.

The Paradise Inn in Feb 2008 is a bit run down, which is a shame as it wouldn't take too much to bring it up to a good standard. The rooms are spacious, clean enough and the beds comfy - it just lacks a little TLC like mending the broken towel rails and re-painting the walls. We wondered how long it would last if someone doesn't really take it on to do it up.

It is very well-located, right on the beach of the same name and within walking distance of Tyrell bay.

For eating choices I would go elsewhere - there are other places to eat a short walk away. Food at the Paradise was unexciting and always took ages to appear (eg a 1 hr wait for egg, toast and a few strips of bacon).

If you are prepared for water warmed by the sun rather than electricity and adequate but not very glamourous accommodation, the Paradise Inn is not a bad choice for the money (though don't forget to add 18% combined govt and service tax to the price quoted!) .

we had a wonderful time at paradise inn, joe was so friendly he made sure we felt like home it wa one of my best stay at carraicou that it was so had to leave
