Gems at Paradise Beach Hotel

Hance is the man! For my needs, it's a great property!

Great place to stay. Private Beach, Snorkeling at a reef near the beach, kayaking from beach and breath taking views from our balcony. Hance had a dinner cooked for us with the fish we caught that day. Delicious!!

The Paradise Gems is a gorgeous property. I wish I had had more time there to enjoy it fully. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Very quiet. Hance (owner) was very helpful.

We loved the quiet and the beauty of the Sea....Hance was brilliant and looked after everything. We were looking for a quiet getaway with Sun and sea and it was perfect !!

Hance was an excellent host, and we enjoyed our time on his Eco Tour as well. Long Island is very much uncommercialized and yet we were completely comfortable and happy at the Gems.

Ottima la struttura e strategica per l'esplorazione del centro sud di Long Island. Molto vicino a Turtles Cove e Dean's Blue Hole. Il management inoltre fa la differenza: Hance è il proprietario della struttura che tutti vorrebbero avere! Il comfort e la soluzione abitativa con ampi spazi e con grande livello di pulizia.

Hanns was great my bags were lost by the air line and he offered me a shirt to wear for dinner great person. Hotel was very clean beach was also beautiful.

My family and I enjoyed our stay at Gems. Hans (owner) was very nice and accommodating. Our room had a great view and was quiet and peaceful. We all enjoyed our stay!

Après une arrivée avec une magnifique vue sur la mer et un acceuil très familial, la découverte de la chambre est surprenante par sa petite taille, son encombrement et son manque d'entretien évident. Baignoire, couverts , robinetterie rouillées, clim assourdissante , draps sales, etc... le jardin alentour dispose d'une vue extraordinaire mais est manques également d'un minimum d'entretien ( détritus, chaises cassées etc) quand à la plage privée, n'y comptez pas, elle fait 5 mètres de large à marée basse et ne dispose d'aucun confort. Malgré tous l'accueil fait par Hans est formidable et il nous à très bien renseigné pour chacune de nos demandes, notamment dans la recherche d'une clinique pour notre fils qui avait besoin de soins. Ainsi que pour prendre rendez-vous pour la visite des grottes ( super visite ! ) et pour la disponibilité de certains restaurants. Bref , un très bon emplacement pour visiter le sud de l'île, mais attention au confort. Merci encore à Hans pour son acceuil.

Love this hotel! Very laid back, quiet, with beautiful beach. Be sure and stock up on water, cocktails, and basic food supplies. It is a bring your own type of resort. They have a full kitchen, dining area, and fridge for you to use. Stores not to far away if you have an rental car.

Upgraded to a king room with kitchenette access and room was very nice, good bed, great views of water - Jennifer kept us well fed when we wanted breakfast or dinner. Property is undergoing renovations after hurricane damage but at no time was that an issue.

Accueil sympathique et chaleureux de Hance. Chambre agréable, au calme avec une belle vue sur la mer. Un petit réfrigérateur pour avoir à disposition des boissons fraîches ou autre... Possibilité de se faire du café ou thé... Et les plages magnifiques de cette île ! Restaurants sympas pas très loin. Quelques jours merveilleux hors du temps.

My friend and I stayed at Gems for a week and thoroughly enjoyed it. The location is spectacular and the facilities are lovely. Hance and Shavonne thoughtfully anticipate guests' needs, for example you can borrow a hat, snorkeling gear, kayaks, books, and even an array of personal care products you might have forgotten (or not realized you'd need in the climate). I've never before experienced such gracious and low-key (yet responsive) hospitality. Hance arranged a car hire for us and a cave tour, checked in with us from time to time to ensure that we had everything we needed. Visitors should be forewarned that this is not a touristy island: come here to Long Island for the natural beauty not a pampered commercialized resort experience. There is much to explore but it is not a gourmet paradise and there is absolutely no shopping apart from basic necessities. I recommend that guests request a kitchenette at Gems and bring with them a few luxuries from home (like your favorite ground coffee, granola, and other non-perishable foodstuffs). Ask directions to the Saturday farmer's market (where apparently you can get local fruit and veg, none of which is in the shops). A car is a must, and do ask for a jeep because the side roads are terrible even when dry. Make sure to go to Lovers' Beach (just the other side of Clarence Town), the beauty of which defies description (also a great place for children to play safely in the sea).

Soggiorno OK. Struttura un po' vecchia.

Amazing view with vibrant colors of the caribbean. Relaxing atmosphere. Accommodating host. I highly recommend!

Gems was exactly what we expectec - well positioned , frindly staff, good beach, great views and an ideal base to see a lot of Long Island.

Very good host/ess and clean with very nice homey dining room. Only negative is no sand on beach so need car to drive to one. Recommend if want to stay near deadmans cay
