The Inn at English Harbour

The Inn at English Harbour really could not have been a more delightful experience for us! The hotel and location are incredibly beautiful, and the service could not have been better -- the staff are all really nice people who couldn't have been more helpful. We had a truly delightful vacation!

Wow! I don’t know where to start! Upon arrival the lovely reception lady gave us a warm welcome and a little tour to show us the restaurant and the breathtaking views! We only stayed for a few nights having come from another hotel but this place has got to be the best Caribbean hotel we have ever stayed in! It had the air of a boutique Belmond hotel, but better!! Arriving for lunch on our first day perched just above the beach we had a delicious and leisurely lunch with delightful service. We loved the way all the loungers on both the beach/pool area were so spread out and loungers, towels etc and the beach and pool areas were all immaculate. Our room we felt was in need of an update especially the bathroom which was tired but no doubt, having seen the pool suites, renovations will trickle through. Had a lot of mosquitos in the room but think this might be a general island thing as Carlisle bay suites had a similar issue. We enjoyed the courtesy boat shuttle a few moments away to English Harbour which offers a lot of other dining options if you did want to go out to eat but we didn’t as the food was all lovely. Breakfasts and lunches were delicious, fresh and offered plenty of choice. I really loved the place settings and decor throughout and appreciated all the little details everywhere. We dined in every evening as the food was so excellent with a great variation of dishes to choose from. The Valentine Menu was excellent and we had a fun time in the restaurant. The staff excel at the skill of being fun and friendly yet still professional. Loved Wesley especially who made us laugh every day and his suggestion for a delicious new white wine was a winner! Nowhere could beat the hotel’s beautiful terrace restaurant in the evenings. We could not fault the service in any area with great beach service and the lovely ladies at guest services were absolutely charming. We have been to many five star hotels but this has shot to the top of our favourite places to revisit list for so many reasons. Trying to think of any other negatives but can’t really?! Maybe a little afternoon treat on the beach of a tiny scoop of sorbet?! But that’s all I can come up with!! Cannot wait to go again for much longer next year!

We are on the last night of our second visit to this beautiful hotel. What is it that makes it so special? Is it the absolutely stunning location, right on a perfect sandy bay. Is it the size of the hotel; small enough to feel intimate & spacious at the same time. Is it the beautiful rooms, & especially the views from our Hillside suite, with its own plunge pool, that is just so perfect in every way. Is it the little touches, like having morning coffee on your own terrace; the beach bag they leave for you to use; the chilly bottles for you to refill & keep hydrated; the luxurious toiletries in your room; the excellent cleaning team that leave the room so perfect every day; the huge comfy beds & pillows. Is it the warmth & friendliness of ALL of the staff, that make you feel like family. Is it lovely Wes, who runs such a happy ship, & is SO very stylish! 💋(Twinkle cocktail on board 😜). Is it the hilarious banter between Neil & his “work wife” Shirlyn, that has us in stitches every evening. (And Neil’s amazing espresso martinis)- the A team 🙌 rules! ❤️ Is it the great food & wonderful breakfasts sat at a table on the edge of the beach. Is it the delicious rum punches & cocktails they serve. Is it lying on comfy sunbeds under the palm trees on the beach; listening to the waves lap on the shore & the chatter of Carib Grackles in the trees. Is it being looked after so well by all the beach team, & especially the best beach buddy Kimoy & Renaldo. Is it snorkelling off the beach to see turtles. 🐢 Is it that nothing is too much trouble for our Italian Princess Guilia. (Who I love to watch get picked up by her sweetheart Andreas & taken to lunch in his little boat -it really makes my heart sing❤️). Is it the location in English Harbour that gives you access to lots of places to visit & things to see. And trips into the harbour on the hotel boat. It is ALL OF THE ABOVE & so much more, that means this place literally takes over your heart! It’s everything! Without a doubt we shall be back, as we are truly smitten! ❤️love you all our Inn family xxxxxx

We had a lovely stay at The inn. The staff were all very friendly, helpful and efficient. The rooms are great, the beach and pool are wonderful places to relax. The location is perfect and very convenient for the shops and restaurants of English Harbour. The hotel boat can take you. A great holiday.

Can’t fault the location. Friendly staff. Beautiful gardens and setting. A few things need to be updated. For example, Instant coffee in the rooms is one of my pet hates. Gym also needs renewing. But overall we had a lovely holiday in a relaxing peaceful environment. The English Harbour is close by and plenty of walks. Also within easy reach of Shirley Heights which is also a must do. Would I recommend this hotel? Yes.
