Hope Town Trip

The resort is beautiful and well maintained. There were numerous issues with our room when we first checked in, so they moved us to a slightly larger room with a better view. They called to check up on us a couple times to make sure everything was ok. The room was lovely and luxurious. The only signs of wear are some carpet stains in the hallways. The food is great but incredibly expensive. Most things were incredibly expensive at the resort- just buying sunscreen broke the budget. We loved the pools and other resort experiences. We loved our excursion arranged by the resort. We weren’t planning on leaving the resort to shop but it was so expensive that we ended up going to the straw market downtown instead. The resort grounds are beautiful. The beach is lovely but small for the amount of guests, so it felt a bit crowded. Definitely recommend renting a daybed to guarantee a comfortable seat. It was a fun, beautiful place. We will be financially recovering for a while.

It took me a while to decide which property to book. I finally settled on harborside. The harborside is more quaint and has a more of a motel feel to it. I would strongly recommend it as we had an entire apartment with fully equipped kitchen. Do not take your shoes off in the room! The beds and bedding were very comfortable and clean. Right across the street and less than 5 minutes of walking we had a little shopping center with local shops which was very convenient. Harborside is about 15 minutes from the beach but shuttles are running every 5-10 minutes in the morning. I didn’t like that we couldn’t check in on time because the appointments were not cleaned. The check in line was extremely long. Even after checking in, around 6pm, they did not have any pillowcases and I had to call 4 times to get them. Not a 5 star experience!
