“Good choice for families”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 February 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Our family of five spent three February nights at Valentine's in a two bedroom suite – and found it a comfortable, convenient base for Pink Sand beach, sunning in the heated pool, and dining and golf carting around Dunmore town. As noted before, these are condos for rent, newly and well appointed with modern fixtures and efficiently cleaned. The beds were comfortable, large bathrooms spotless, and A/C and fans working perfectly. The heated pool was terrific. Pictures from previous reviews are still up to date.

Pink Sand beach is an easy golf cart jaunt away, where Valentine's has lounge chairs and umbrellas right where the public access (straight down Clarence Street) reaches the beach; you should confirm with the front desk that the umbrellas are deployed the first time you go down.

The only downside was our garden view suite did :not: have Wi-Fi - they acknowledged problems with their service - and the DVD player was missing an audio cable. Note that roosters are ubiquitous island-wide, so light sleepers should bring precautionary earplugs.

Dunmore Town is easy for families. We didn't eat at Valentine's. We ate breakfasts in our suite. Arthur's Bakery had lovely pastries and bread, and Avery's, Dunmore Deli, the conch shacks, and particularly Sip Sip were good for lunches and Coral Sands was very good for dinner. Finally, we liked Dilly Dally for souvenirs, and the snorkeling trip out of Valentine's dive resort went fine.

“Valentine's is Amazing! They made my wedding day perfect!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 October 2010

person found this review helpful

We stayed at Valentine's last year for a week. They planned our wedding on the pink sand beach. The property was immaculate and the people were wonderful. Alexis and Lorria were witnesses at our wedding. Also, we had a private dinner on their dock after the ceremony. Chef Simeon prepared the best meal we have ever eaten- anywhere! We loved being on Harbour Island during the off-season. We hung out with the locals and enjoyed the peace and quiet. We are returning to Valentine's in a few weeks to celebrate our one year anniversary. Can't wait! I would recommend Valentine's to anyone wanting to relax and have a great time!

“Wonderful Harbour Island”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 August 2010
1
person found this review helpful

Just back from 10 days on Harbour Island. First 5 days at Valentine's and next 5 days at Coral Sands. Vacationing with an 11 and 13 year old. Valentines is a condo hotel. We had a one bedroom two story room overlooking the pool and harbor. The kids shared a pullout bed. Master suite and bath were huge and of very high quality. Nice small kitchen for breakfast, lunch, snacks.
Overall this was an excellent hotel. It is on the Harbor side of the island but only a short golf cart ride to beach. Valentines has umbrellas and chairs at the beach. Marina was a nice place to hang out, always something going on. If you are in to water sports, snorkeling, diving, fishing, etc. Valentines has it all. Staff was very helpful, but remember that this is a condo so don't expect the level of service you get from a full-service hotel.
Marina restaurant was excellent. Also recommend AquaPazza, The Landing, and Avery's. Try Arthur's Bakery for breakfast and lunch.
Would return, hopefully next time by yacht.

“Moldy and noisy”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 August 2010
1
person found this review helpful

This is probably good if you want a place to put up a big group. Because the rooms are large condos you can pack in a big family for cheap . That's the point of this place. Cheap. Cheap greasy food. Cheap noise reduction ( the couple next door with the tv blaring ) cheap cleaning staff ( mildew on the bathroom and bedroom ceiling). This is good for boaters since the marina is new but forget this as a vacation.

Dear Traveldude,

Thank you for taking time to post a review of you time with us here at Valentine's. We are indeed a more affordable option than many others here on Harbour Island, and our restaurant, bar and resort have a marina feel to it, as the marina is a central part of our identity.

To confuse reasonable room rates, and casual dining with cheap is a mistake. The restaurant is geared toward family dining, with a wide variety of options available, from burgers and fries to fresh seafood to award winning bbq ribs; options for EVERY palate including the vegetarians among us.
We further pride ourselves on the quality of accommodation we provide for our guests. The construction of the buildings are designed to with-stand hurricane force winds, with windows and sliding doors of impact resistant panes which muffle almost all outside noise. Additionally, we have a backup generator that keeps the a/c and dehumidifiers working in the rooms at all times to combat any occurrence of mold in the units.

We are genuinely sorry if you did not enjoy your visit with us here at Valentine's and we would love the opportunity to change your opinion of the resort, please feel free to contact us to make that possible.

“No hot water!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 August 2010

A beautiful bedroom, lovely resort, superb breakfast, but no hot water in the bathroom- and a management that doesn't seem at all concerned by it! Whilst everything else was good, the inability, especially after a days sunbathing, to have a bath, rather takes the shine of the hotel ! The beds were however the comfiest in the world!

Skibuff1,
Thank you for the review of your time spent here in Harbour Island and at Valentine's Resort, we are happy that you enjoyed yourself during your time with us.
It is unfortunate that the lack of hot water took away from what seemed to be an otherwise enjoyable trip. We apologize for the inconvenience, but I am even more troubled that you were left with the impression "management seemed not at all concerned by it!"
Your being left with that feeling warrants an apology in itself. I hope that you allow us the opportunity to correct that impression in the future, and please rest assured that it is not the prevailing attitude of the management here at Valentine's Resort and Marina.
