Colchester, United KingdomApril 2025

We have just had superb 12 nights at East Winds. We were in the beach suite, number 30, which was spacious with a large shower room and a comfortable terrace. The food was good and the barbecue very welcome. There was low key live music at lunch and dinner which was a nice touch. All the staff are a delight under the watchful eye of Mary the general manager, who was a lot of fun. Taj the lovely waitress adopted us, but there were too many wonderful people to mention by name. One great surprise was the other guests who were just so friendly. We made many holiday friends and some we will see again soon. A happy and lovely experience.

The delay in writing this review must not reflect on how beautiful, wonderful and special this hotel is (I'm just not very organised!) We had two weeks here and each day was a joy. Every team member we met was so friendly, and were genuinely proud of where they worked and the experience everyone who stayed there got to enjoy. Particular highlights were the trip up the coast via the mud pools and waterfall, the return back singing along to Ricky T Soca and snorkelling in the clear waters off the hotel's beach, will live forever in our memories. We'd only stayed all inclusive once before this hotel, it's not our preferred choice of accommodation. East Winds was so far from any other all-inclusive and several other hotel options, we've had; a wonderful, spacious room, delicious food and great wine choices. Thank you. Helen and Andrew

We have visited a number of Caribbean islands in the past but never found the perfect spot for a variety of reasons: tired hotel, poor service, poor food, bad value and unfriendly staff to name a few. Then we found East Winds where we are currently halfway through the perfect holiday: joyful staff, well appointed and tastefully done cottage, lovely beach with plenty of covered sun beds on the beach and by the outdoor pool, bars a plenty, excellent food in the characterful restaurant and some event on offer every evening. Trips to explore the island by land or sea are available and the twelve acres of gardens are a delight. This small boutique hotel best serves older couples who come for winter sun and to chill. The young would miss the lack of nightlife and walkers would find the size of the property somewhat limiting. The majority of guests are English and many are repeat visitors. For us this is heaven and we expect to thoroughly enjoy the rest of our ten days and hope to return next year.
