Hermitage Bay

This resort and staff of incredible individuals was absolutely amazing. The property itself is set in the natural hillside on the beach. Very exclusive and private villas. The grounds are lush and natural, but what makes this experience so special is the staff. Every team member on property is friendly, engaging and truly cares about the guests experience. The entire staff is amazing but we have to give special shout outs to Simone, Zoe, Kyle, Loretta, Patricia, Keva, and Stoney, who happens to have the best hot sauce. Thanks to this incredible team who made our stay so memorable and will have us returning.

Our stay at Hermitage Bay was absolutely incredible from start to finish. The people here are some of the warmest and kindest we’ve ever met — always ready to help with anything we needed. We wanted for nothing: drivers, activities, delicious food and drinks, it was all seamlessly arranged. The live entertainment throughout the day and evening was excellent, adding to the relaxed, joyful atmosphere. We stayed in a hilltop villa with its own private pool, and it was nothing short of amazing — gorgeous, luxurious, and wonderfully comfortable. Inside, we had both a coffee maker and an espresso machine (which inspired me to buy one for my home), plus snacks and chilled drinks stocked in our fridge. Every detail made us feel completely pampered. Hermitage Bay is an incredibly romantic destination. We left feeling refreshed, spoiled, and already dreaming of our next visit. We would return in a heartbeat.

My new husband and I spent our honeymoon at Hermitage Bay and could not have more positive things to say about our experience! First, the resort and beach is absolutely gorgeous. We felt like we were living in a screensaver-- every moment was so calm, peaceful, and relaxed. It's obvious the resort was designed very thoughtfully and intentionally and it is impressively well kept! Everywhere you look is a beautiful view, not to mention the resort is decorated with modern and chic furniture while still maintaining a tropical atmosphere, which is very much my vibe. Second, the suites are as luxurious as they advertise. We stayed in a hillside pool suite and had the most STUNNING view we've ever seen in our lives. I've attached some photos which don't even begin to do it justice, but when choosing your suite I would highly recommend the hillside pool villa. It adds such a special touch to what is already an amazing resort. We spent a ton of time in our plunge pool and definitely feel these suites are superior to the beachside ones, though we met plenty of couples who enjoyed the beachside as well! Third, the food is 5-star at every meal. They somehow manage to make something as simple as a club sandwich look and taste gourmet. Typically at all inclusives we've stayed at in the past we'd get sick of the food by the end of the week, but not here. Although there is only one restaurant, there are plenty of options at every meal and seriously everything we ate was delicious. They also serve different meals in different locations so you get a change of scenery, which is really nice. One standout dining experience at Hermitage Bay is the sushi happy hour every afternoon, where the most fresh, authentic-tasting sushi we've ever eaten is served. This was one of the things that led us to decide on this resort and it did not disappoint!! Fourth, the staff-to-guest ratio has to be something like 5 to 1. Not only is there plenty of staff to accommodate your every need, but they are so friendly, kind, and just a joy to be around. Everyone is so invested in you having an amazing time and it shows. There is also live music every day and night which was so enjoyable and added something really special to the atmosphere. The level of service you get at Hermitage Bay is, in our experience, unmatched. Finally, while there are plenty of water activities/excursions you can add onto your stay, in my opinion, none of them are necessary. We jetskiied and went on a couple boat excursions (which were great!) but my favorite days were the ones we spent only at the resort. Between meals, the beach, pool, and your own plunge pool (if you stay in a hillside suite), your days feel plenty full and relaxed, which is why I like to go on a tropical vacation in the first place. Though I've done my best, my words certainly fall short of conveying the truly magic experience we had at Hermitage Bay. This place is worth every penny and we hope to return for several anniversaries in the future!!

Solange and shalanda were amazing!! So much fun and professional. Simone was very attentive too and so friendly. Everyone was awesome!

Amazing trip from the villas, the beach, the food/drinks and the staff. We will be back next year!! Thank you to.all the staff for making it so special.
