Our stay at Belair Beach Hotel was a wonderful experience. The hotel is set on a beautiful beach, offering breathtaking views and a relaxing atmosphere. The rooms are spacious and clean, making it a comfortable base for exploring the island. The staff treated us like family and were incredibly attentive, adding to the overall positive experience. However, the entertainment options could use some improvement, and there were some minor issues with event organization.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The beach was absolutely stunning, and I loved having a spacious balcony that made me feel like I was truly on vacation. However, the service was hit or miss, and I found the hotel to be quite outdated. While the location was great, I wouldn't recommend this place for everyone-there are certainly better options out there if you can afford them.

My family and I had an unforgettable time celebrating our 45th anniversary at this charming resort. The staff was exceptional, making us feel at home and attended to every detail of our stay. The spacious rooms offered stunning views of the beach and the beautiful Caribbean Sea, although the resort's older charm could be felt.
