Blue water, amazing sunsets, can't wait to go back!

Review of The Caves
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 9 Apr 2018
My wife and I celebrated a belated honeymoon at the Caves and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. The views are just amazing. The food is fantastic. The service is warm and spot on.

We stayed in the Stardust room which provides an amazing view of the water AND the most beautiful sunsets you've ever seen.

The weather and water were just perfect. We had never snorkeled before and were guided by Paul, the lifeguard, and it was amazing. He'll show you things you wouldn't see on your own as well as a few hidden places that are awesome!

We opted to have dinner in one of the caves. It was very romantic and getting to enjoy the wonderful food to the soothing sounds of the waves greeting the caves is something I will never forget.

My wife and I can't wait to go back!

My husband and I recently returned from a 4 night stay at The Caves, and we loved every minute of it! The natural beauty of the island and the exquisite design and decor of the resort make for breathtaking views. We enjoyed swimming and snorkeling in the impossibly clear, turquoise-blue water. Every meal was fresh, hot, and delicious. The couples massage was excellent, and the cave dinner was magical. Paul, Orrin, Zoom, and the rest of the staff went "above and beyond" to make our 20th anniversary trip special. We stayed in the Blue Hole Suite and would definitely stay there again. We are hoping to return to The Caves soon! I highly recommend this resort for anyone looking for a tropical island escape. The Caves offers total luxury in a laid-back, unpretentious way that makes you feel right at home and totally relaxed. It is truly like heaven on earth.

from the spectacular aesthetics to the delicious food and of course the exceptional staff this hotel is perfection. We stayed in the butterfly room for five nights and are at the airport and already dreaming of coming back. The caves is an actual dream and this is coming from a very picky customer. The chef was extremely accommodating with my many dietary needs and the food was the best I've had at any hotel. The jerk chicken breast was fabulous as was the fresh fish, veggies, and fruits. My husband raved about the banana pancakes. The cave private dining, fun nights at the sands bar, spa treatments and quiet tranquil grounds were unforgettable. We left the property just a few times; for a day at the beach as well as dinner elsewhere however the food at the resort was the best- by far. The gym down the block was perfect for allowing this fitness addict a guilt free reason to drink lots of banana daquaries. Paul is amazing if you want to snorkel, kayak or jump (which I chose to do my very last hour of my stay). We loved the entire staff and already miss our new friends. Do not hesitate- book your next special occasion at the caves!!!!

This beatuful place has breathtaking views in a quaint setting, with authentic island feel. Was surrounded by a warm friendly staff and clean safe surroundings fulled with total relaxation. Need to be a bit adventurous with the topography. Steep steps to crystal turquoise waters are well worth it.

The Caves is an intimate, quirky, unpretentious gem of a resort that allows its guests to feel completely at home. We stayed for four nights in Blue Dolphin (lower level ocean view) and were charmed from the moment we arrived. The entire staff is warm and welcoming and happy to help you, without ever being overly intrusive. The food was wonderful. Banana pancakes were a favorite. So was the jerk chicken and all seafood dishes we tried. Menu items are limited here but they change daily and none disappointed. The private sunning nooks, gorgeous water (cliff jumping was a rush) and the special cocktail of the day were just what we needed to unwind and decompress. Be aware that catamarans carrying guests from other resorts will occasionally drop anchor close to one of the caves in the late afternoon, but they don't stay long.

Get to know Paul and have him take you on a snorkeling tour around the caves. You won't regret it. We also booked a private cave dinner one night. What a memorable experience! A bit pricey, but for us it was worth it.

If you're looking for a huge party scene and a cookie cutter resort, this isn't for you. But if you're searching for tranquility, warm hospitality and a resort with a unique and friendly vibe, then welcome home to The Caves.

Romantic, candlelit dining in a cave -- who can pass that up? Apparently, someone with claustrophobia! Before I booked this place for dinner, I had seen several photos of beautiful tables set up right along the water, in a cave with high ceilings. Looked fantastic. When we got there, we were taken into a dark, small, enclosed cave. There was zero airflow and it was really hot. It was still beautiful - candles, the sounds of waves crashing in - but entirely uncomfortable. I had to keep leaving the cave to get air. I would love to do it again in the other cave! I guess there are three. As far as food & service, it was all good! They even had a birthday cake with candles for my husband.

Dear Jillopy2014

Thank you for reserving our cave dining experience and for taking the time to provide your feedback. We are truly sorry your experience was not quite as you imagined. Our cave dinners are lit with dozens of candles all over the rocks to enhance the magical experience of the cave but we are careful not to overdo it and for the many of guests that have dined with us we have not received that feedback, although we do appreciate yours. We also provide fans to make the experience as comfortable as possible. Let us know when you are ready to book again and we will arrange for another cave dining experience in an alternate cave. We look forward to hearing from you.

One Love
