Villa Renaissance

VR always hits the spot! Room 303 has a spectacular view of the beach and has a beautiful layout. It is clean and spacious and a wonderful place to stay on a gorgeous property! The pool and hot tub are welcoming and the staff is always cleaning and prepping the area. Everyone is smiling and I am glad to be a returning guest for many years. VR is in a great location, only a short walk to restaurants and the grocery store. Also make sure you book with Robin ...the communication is spectacular.

Unit 404 (corner penthouse ocean facing) was incredible!! Pictures do not do it justice. The resort was elegant, had beautiful grounds & swimming pool including a large heated hot tub. We are an older couple (58/63) and found the quiet, relaxed, adult-skewing environment extremely relaxing. While we did not use them, we did see kayaks on property. There were plenty of umbrellas and loungers both on the beach and around the pool. No matter what time we showed up, we found very nice spots to lounge. The location cannot be beat. It is in the heart of Grace Bay beach, but far enough from mega resorts so you have space and are not crowded. It is also super convenient to shops & restaurants (easy walking distance). Service… The front desk staff and bartender were warm and hospitable. Getting towels is an easy process. Our concierge, Beverly, was quick to respond to WhatsApp messages. Housekeeping did a good job the one time we requested it (you can have daily service - we did not need that level). The bartender was terrific! She makes delicious, potent cocktails. The place is so fantastic I have to give it full marks and hesitate to share one small drawback we experienced… no water in our unit the last 2 days. We were able to flush commodes, and used store bought water but we couldn’t fully shower. There is a lot of construction in the area so we are not sure if that is a factor. Management will do well to figure that out because it could be a booking deterrent. That said, I would book again and recommend Villas Renaissance to others.

Avoid Unit 501 at Villa Renaissance at all costs. Our stay in Unit 501 was completely unacceptable. The only toilet in the unit did not work for the majority of our stay, and to make matters worse, the bathroom sink also did not work. This left us without basic, functioning plumbing — something no guest should ever have to deal with, especially in a paid vacation rental. Despite clearly explaining the situation, the owner was rude, nasty, and dismissive, showing absolutely no concern for the inconvenience or discomfort caused. Even more unbelievable, the owner refused to offer even a partial refund, despite the unit being effectively unusable from a basic hygiene standpoint. Paying to stay in a unit where you cannot properly use the bathroom is unacceptable. Paying to stay in one where the owner treats guests poorly and refuses to take responsibility is even worse. This experience completely ruined what should have been a relaxing stay. I would strongly warn anyone considering Villa Renaissance — especially Unit 501 — to look elsewhere unless you’re willing to risk plumbing failures and hostile treatment with zero accountability.

We absolutely loved Villa Renaissance and our trip to Grace Bay beach. The weather and warm water in December was amazing. The beach access directly behind the property with private chairs and umbrellas was perfect. They had water floats for the ocean and the whole experience was perfect. The pool and hot tub was also very nice and warm. The resort is centrally located and they have complimentary bikes, so it’s easy to walk or bike to many restaurants or the grocery store. No car needed. The gym is small, but very functional and they have tennis / pickle ball courts with lights. We stayed in 307, overlooking the ocean 2BR. It was perfect, very clean and amazing water pressure in the showers. There is only a pool bar service and no onsite restaurant, but so many great choices nearby. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend.

We stayed in unit #208, which had a great view directly to the ocean and up the beach. Our unit was a 3BR and was extremely comfortable and spacious. The Villa Renaissance is situated beautifully on a quiet section of the beach, away from some of the larger hotels where the beach can get a little more crowded. We never saw more than a handful of people on our part of the beach. The pool is huge and has a large area in which to sit in loungers under umbrellas. It has a very private feel to it and is superb for kids. The Villa is also within walking distance of markets, coffee shops, ice cream, maybe 10 restaurants, all of which is good if you are tired and want to just grab a meal locally, or ever order pick up. We did that a few times. We had a rental car and explored the Island a good amount, but you certainly don't need a car. Most tour operators will pick you up. We have stayed on the Island before but this was our first time at the Villa Renaissance. I would say that the quality here was very high and a good value versus other places we have stayed for more money. I would recommend Villa Renaissance to anyone and the owner, Michael, of unit #208 was very helpful and available so I can recommend him highly as well.
