Windjammer Landing Villa Beach Resort

We just got back from a six-night stay at Windjammer and ended up extending an extra day because we loved it so much. The beach is beautiful, the food was great, and the on-site water activities were a highlight. The staff truly made the trip everyone was so friendly and helpful, especially Tamisha and Nylvia. We stayed in a villa at the top of the resort with amazing views. It’s a bit farther from the beach, but the shuttle service made it easy to get around. Location was also very convenient. Would absolutely recommend and can’t wait to come back!

Well let’s start with the good points ! Great location, idyllic, very comfy bed , good sun beds …and then it starts to go downhill. Service is really well below that expected of a “5 *” hotel with most of the waitresses and waiters looking very disinterested and could do with a career change ( the staff in Harry Edward’s jewellery shop were an exception - they should actually train the other staff ! ) The food was average , except for the Italian , the cocktails were dreadful ..worst mojito l have had , the wine at entry price points ($40) is Tesco £7.99-£9.99 wine . Breakfast wasn’t the buffet l would expect from a 5 star hotel. The apartments could do with a renovation, and be prepared for all the steps even though shuttle buses run up and down the hill . Boat trip with Exodus was great , best day of the holiday and big shout out to Tyler , Penny and Daniel .

We had a family holiday of a lifetime. The children loved all of the water sports. The resort was first class from beginning to end and the staff were so friendly & helpful.

Love this place. All the workers are friendly and always have a smile. Had to change rooms because of leaking roof but not complaining. They changed our room without hesitation. They could have a ATM that's a down fall for me. The views are amazing. We will come back another year.

Our group of 11 just returned from Windjammer Landing, and it’s easy to see why so many guests return year after year. The setting is absolutely stunning, and the resort strikes a unique balance between offering variety while still feeling intimate and personal. The rave reviews you read are definitely warranted. I stalked this page in the months leading up to our trip, so only fair to return the favor with my own reflections! What we loved: We stayed in an estate villa and loved the experience. The views are breathtaking. Photos online really don’t do them justice. Waking up to panoramic ocean views (and even morning rainbows!) was a highlight of the trip. The beach is beautiful, calm, and never felt overcrowded. Even with a large group, we had no trouble finding chairs exactly where we wanted each day. We also visited Sugar Beach and didn’t feel like we were missing out. Windjammer’s beach holds its own. Dining across the resort was consistently very good. Jammers, in particular, exceeded expectations and had a great atmosphere. It’s the only one that didn’t seem to require a reservation, which is a perk given the quality of food and the kids buffet. We also loved the charming ice cream shop - it was a fun touch for both kids and adults. We were on the all-inclusive plan and really appreciated the freedom to dine across all restaurants without worrying about racking up charges. We tipped both in cash and on the receipt and both seemed perfectly acceptable. Some reviews mention frustration with waiting for the bill after the meal (even on AI), but we never found that to be problematic. We just asked for the bill when they brought us our dessert. The resort overall is spotless, and the staff is genuinely friendly and helpful. We also appreciated that the vendors offering tours and spa services on the beach were extremely polite and respectful - never pushy. We were really only approached on the first day so they’re clearly remembering who they’ve spoken to and sharing their service offerings with newcomers. Honestly, we loved the resort so much that it was hard to motivate ourselves to leave for excursions! Getting around: If you’re staying in an estate villa or higher up on the hillside, the shuttle service is a must. The drivers are incredibly skilled (you’ll understand why quickly!), and service is reliable and fairly quick. That said, plan a little extra time during peak hours like dinner. This isn’t the kind of resort where you casually pop back to your room. We typically packed everything we needed for the day and returned in the late afternoon. Things to be aware of: The stairs are no joke. Even staying near the main area can be challenging for those with mobility issues. Cats do wander around the villas looking for food, but they mostly keep to themselves and weren’t an issue. While the food was excellent, Papa Don’s felt noticeably more hot and humid compared to the other restaurants. The food was delicious but we chose to only dine there once. Opportunities for improvement: There were a few inconsistencies to note. Some villas had extras like bathrobes while others didn’t, and beach service varied - some days attendants came around with chair covers, other days they didn’t. We didn’t even see a beach server until our last day, which was totally fine, but I’m still not sure what the norm should have been. Communication could also be a little better at check-in. For example, we weren’t told about a few key details like a $200 resort credit (which we only discovered on our last full day), how beach service works (look for the flags behind chairs), or where to reliably find daily activities (the app didn’t always seem to match reality). The front desk did make things right once we mentioned it, but earlier guidance would have further improved our overall experience. Final thoughts: This resort really is something special. It delivers a unique experience that’s hard to replicate with a beautiful setting, great food, and a welcoming atmosphere. That said, with prices increasing, tightening up consistency and communication will be important to match the premium feel. We left already understanding why people come back and hoping we’ll find our way back for another taste of paradise!
