"Excellent situation, on the beach and served by buses nearby to go and explore. The swimming pools were lovely. Varied food of reasonable quality and also during our stay it was quiet."

"The setting at The Escape at Nonsuch Bay is absolutely beautiful. The grounds are well kept, the views are peaceful, and the resort has a very secluded atmosphere for anyone looking to truly disconnect. The suites themselves have lovely features such as the freestanding tub and private plunge pool, which added a nice touch to the stay. That said, the resort fell short in several areas, especially when it came to comfort, maintenance, dining, and overall hospitality. While some staff members were pleasant, service generally felt minimal rather than attentive. Most interactions felt transactional, and guests often had to initiate greetings or requests first instead of feeling genuinely welcomed. The beach, about a 10 minute walk away, was clean and relaxing, although there was quite a bit of seaweed during our stay. Since the property is fairly isolated, there are limited activities or alternatives nearby, so the overall resort experience becomes especially important. The biggest disappointment was the food. Breakfast was consistently the best meal, and the barbecue night was enjoyable, but most other meals arrived cold and lacked flavor. Portions were also extremely small. At the buffet, for example, asking for an additional serving of vegetables felt uncomfortable, as the response from staff made us feel like we were asking for too much. Outside of the scheduled breakfast, lunch, and dinner times, there were no snacks or casual food options available, which made the dining"

"The best view ever.. "

"Amazing resort. Incredible food. Beautiful beaches. Very friendly staff. Resort looks brand new - everywhere recently painted. Rooms very clean. Excellent wi fi. Included à la carte restaurant for lunch and dinner. Coming back very soon "

"I stayed in a Royal Palm Beach room which was stunning. Rustic, charming, clean and peaceful. Right on the beach with my own sunbed and stunning ocean front room. I cant wait to come back"

"Great place to visit "

"We had an amazing time!!! Older crowd and very laid back resort. Food and drinks were great!!!"

"The Staff had a lot of attitude and did not want to provide service. I was locked out of my room, as the locked was broken. I got the run around for almost a full day. No one wanted to take ownership and resolve the issue. The water activities staff showed up an hour late every day, and he gave me attitude when I asked to use the kayak. The lifeguard was not on duty for the majority of the day. He was chatting with other staff and not at his post. I rarely got a smile from the staff and they did not proactively ask to help. Overall, I would not recommend this hotel, if service is important to you. "

"This was an absolute gem! My husband and I were here for our 10 year wedding anniversary. The staff was friendly, the food was ABSOLUTELY delicious and our room was lovely. We really enjoyed our stay and are excited to return again."
