Villa del Mar

Spacious rooms with small kitchen area Walking distance to the beach Dedicated chairs and umbrellas for the property Pool area was clean and nice

Breakfast was very basic Staff did not work to really offer assistance on making your stay better (restaurant recommendations, grocery options, helpful advice, etc) Should offer bikes, bar area very simple, no effort for guest engagement

Un joli hôtel pour se détendre.

Le petit déjeuner est très décevant.

Excelente lugar, cómodo, pintoresco, de calidad. A 100mts de la mejor playa del planeta

Recepción solo en ingles

Colazione povera, check in hanno aspettato esattamente le ore 15 per darci la camera, non un minuto prima

We had a room in the first floor with easy access to the baby pool which was great! The staff was friendly and they offered free breakfast every morning, which was a plus. Also, they set up the baby crib and staff seemed responsive to questions. It was super close to the beach and to restaurants. Beach Umbrella and awesome service!

Somewhat the room smelled faintly like mold when we first arrived which made the stay a little unpleasant, but we decided to stay there as moving and changing rooms with a toddler is a chore. Also breakfast options were limited.

Clean and location

Demasiado lindo ,limpio y todo lo necesario

Todo fue excelente

Everything was great

Nothing

Great location

Very impressee by the huge room, very clean and bed and pillows very confortable. Nice view from the balcony and you can get to the grace bay beach in less than 5minutes. Staff was friendly. Happy that light breakfast was included, which isn’t in the majority of places on TCI.

Nothing wrong with the resort

Villa Del Mar located within walking distance of the beach, shopping and restaurants. Property is well maintained and on the newer side.

The breakfast options were very limited. pastries or tea and coffee daily.

Good location as such, beach access over a street but chairs/umbrellas free at beach.

Breakfast was very bad, not acceptable. White Bread, small croissants, some corn flakes, butter, jam in plastic, fresh cheese - that was it. All on plastic plates, fork, spoons. The room prices are high and than that breakfast… Outside Chairs/table very outdated.

You can’t beat staying in Grace Bay! Beautiful pool with a private beach set-up as well. Walking distance to great restaurants.

The location and what facilities were available

It needed to be updated and there a was faint damp smell in the room, along with a faint smell to the shower water.

nothing

over charge for this room

The room was very spacious and clean! The property is located across the street from the beach. You will have access to free beach towels and beach chairs on the beach.

Amazing location

Poor, very poor breakfast

Close to everything

Not on beach, no room service, bed not to my standards, no gym

Excellent location and amazing staff

Everything was great. room and bed comfortable. Great air conditioning. Breakfast was simple but good. Grounds clean and kept up with. Location perfect.

Wish the bar opened before 12.

The bedrooms were superb - it was great to have all that space and comfort. The whole place was quiet and peaceful, and I could barely hear other guests while in my room. I also really liked the breakfast: it was simple but super nice (delicious, fresh pastries, bagels, juice, cereals, etc). The staff at reception and at the beach were friendly, polite and helpful. The hotel isn't on the beach but close enough (3-5' walk) - it was a big plus to have so many sunbeds available right next to the sea. The rooms, gardens and pool area were well kept, comfortable, clean and relaxing. After checking out, the staff kindly accepted to look after my luggage and I was allowed to wait by the pool before checking in at my next place.

The water from the bath tub came out green every time (I suspect this is excessive copper from the pipes but I can't be sure). After every bath I had, I got rashes on my arms and legs - once I realised it were the baths, I stopped having them. This was my main issue as it's clearly a health hazard. The customer service is limited to breakfast, room maintenance, security and pool side drinks (but they do these very well). No other service is offered to guests. No drinks by the beach or hotel restaurant or food service whatsoever. The hotel staff kindly helped me get taxis but when I asked then how much I should expect to be charged, the taxis always charged me twice as much. I mentioned this but it was shrugged off. I guess it's difficult to avoid in the island. The path to the beach is super short but confusing. It's not obvious which path is public access and is easy to end up going through another resort's private property (accidentally) then be told off by their security staff. It should be made clearer to guests to avoid uncomfortable situations.

Staff is friendly. Ideal location. Enjoyable breakfast. Comfortable beds. Quiet resort.

We REALLY like this resort. However, it could use a refresh. Walls, floors, caulking, grout, etc., need a little TLC.

Great location to both beach and restaurants/ retail. Staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating with excellent customer service. Nice patio/ deck and it was not a huge resort with tons of kids or noise. Common areas were very clean too. Airconditioning was great!

Room itself was a bit outdated and could use some updating for the price. Bathroom smelled a little musty but likely from Sulphur and no fault of the staff. Would be nice if the resort sold snacks or sodas.

Beautiful property, excellent staff, close to Grace Bay Beach, short walk. Would definitely come back.

if there was food at the resort. The food that was provided for breakfast was not good at all

Laid back, relaxing atmosphere

So close to everything!

The staff was nice and the location was walkable to beach and some restaurants

The breakfast could be better and we were on the third floor and the elevator was broken during our stay. Getting luggage up and down was a hassle. There was also theft of another guest when we visited and the police had to come.

Two bedroom suite was very spacious and clean.

No on-site restaurants or quick food service.

Location

Location, nice stuff

The room, the smell was bad

Location, big rooms, good services, great value relative to other properties.

Breakfast lacked protein

we have stayed hear for the last two years and should we come back again would not hesitate to stay again. Large apartment (two bedrooms, kitchen, two balcony's, lounge). Two swimming pools. 5 minutes from the beach at Grace Bay.

Nothing

Area, close access to the beach and cleanliness

No dislikes

All the employees were very helpful and friendly.

It wasn’t a crowded location.

Not on the beach.

No place to go for food along walk to anything. We were not told in advance that most places were closed for September and October, we would have gone another month when everything was open 😕

The pool and the staffs, room was clean. All the staff are helpful, respectful and courteous

We request to have room close to each other. But we are separated from each other, one group on second floor and the others on third floor. We are not happy about that. After we called months in advance to have adjacent rooms

beach

to far from beach

The staff were fantastic, always happy to help you, nothing was too much trouble

Staff was amazing

I never got a chance to try the breakfast but looking over from my balcony it looked pretty decent.

I think the resort could offer food. The tiki bar is fine but you have to leave the resort to eat.

great location and fantastic staff

Great property and a very short walk to the beach. The road you cross is very small and it almost feels like you are staying at the beachfront resort. The room was large and clean and the balcony was spacious. The pool area was clean but the hot tub wasn’t heated enough some days and even when it was it seemed to serve as the kiddie pool. Breakfast was fine if you would like a cup of coffee and a decent small croissant. I wouldn’t plan on it being your full breakfast every morning as many reviews have previously stated. I knew that so I wasn’t disappointed. Overall, the stay was great and easily walked to town a few times although we had a rental car.

The only issue we really had was noise from above (or next door?). There was what sounded like incessant stomping from 0600 am on despite it not seeming like there was a crowd upstairs or anything. I’m not really sure where the noise was coming from, but it lasted the whole stay. We stayed on the second floor. Otherwise, would recommend!

Accommodation, location, cleanliness, staff.

n/a

close to the beach, hot tub, walking distance from a lot of stores/restaurants.

N/A

Loved the staff and the location was perfect..

The grumpy couple next door is all I can come up with.

the staff, the room, all around garden and pool

There is not a full breakfast. You have to go somewhere else for food.

solid location within walking distance to a number of restaurants. beach is 2 min walk. would stay again.

location, beach access, tiki bar, large balcony

VDM is good value and close to the beach although not on the beach. you cannot see the sea but it only take a few minutes to walk.

The breakfast wasn’t good but we found a fantastic bakery/cafe around the corner called Tribe which has the best Croissants I’ve ever tasted. Tribe also do brunch including smashed avocado with eggs and balsamic vinegar. Well worth it each day. you can buy sandwiches for the beach or even organise them to bring a picnic! yummy. The staff weren’t great. Twice we found a member of cleaning staff sleeping in a tiny cupboard outside our room which wasn’t great! Reception staff also weren’t attentive.

clean, centrally located

pool bar closed early

Excellent location. Very big rooms and balcony. Nice pools and very friendly staff.

The hotel is great, the rooms are large and it's very close to the beach. The washer/dryer also was very useful to help dry our clothes, as it's so humid it takes awhile to dry naturally. It's also walking distance from a few resorts which have restaurants and a quick drive to all the shops. The beach is absolutely beautiful!

The breakfast could use a little more variety - I don't think I'll be able to look at bagels for quite a while!

The pool was very good for kids

That unit needs to properly inspect for mold. Our first night in the room it very hard to sleep due to the mold in the room when the AC is on. Spoke with the staff in regards to the mold issue and they have no idea on what I was try to explain too them.

Breakfast

The location close to the main road and Grace bay club is across the street made traveling very easy the staff is amazing especially Daisha and Westley the most fabulous front desk agents!!

The continental breakfast could have been better, they didn't restock the food as much as I would have hoped
