The rooms are large and gorgeous, amenities all there, spa nice, tennis courts well maintained, beach pretty. Nonetheless, there is something just slightly boring about Carlisle Bay. Staying there is like borrowing the soulless beach home of a rich guy who never uses it. There is an absence of any feeling of uniqueness, specialness, or place. The food, service, and... More

Invited on a company trip we spent five days in this resort. Had never done that before, it's not really our thing. Still, life in Carlisle Bay was very pleasant. Nice, large suite, kept clean and tidy several times a day by friendly staff; kind service and good quality food in the restaurant(s); good other facilities (wifi, gym, tennis courts).... More

Make no mistake about this hotel, it is a resort not a boutique style hotel. Though the room decor and general hotel surroundings could be improved and are a little 10 years ago, the real selling point of this place is the friendly, all-accomodating attitude to children. We had to stay longer as our baby daughter was not well and... More

Great location, good facilities, gym, tennis, spa, restaurants, waterskiing, private dining on the jetty. No far from English Harbour but too far for a night out. Menus good but repetitive and so not varied enough for a week's stay. You need to hire a car or two or three days to explore the island otherwise you're trapped in paradise. Lagoon... More

After you are accepted through the metal gates of the compound, the grounds are nice and well maintained. Staff is slow, yet accommodating, as one would expect no less from a "leading hotel of the world". To our surprise however, we couldn't get over how many kids there were at this resort. If you're looking for a quiet secluded respite... More

We just stayed at Carlisle Bay & cannot wait to go back! We were luckily able to check into Carlisle Bay after a terrible experience at Blue Waters and are thrilled that we found this place! Its super peaceful, clean, relaxing, with great service and the best place to relax that we have ever found. The rooms are super clean,... More

Very nice hotel and facilities in excellent location. Beautiful beach and private bay. A real paradise for families and children. Note to avoid going there without children as this is only really for families. But a calm setting in very attractive surroundings. The large rooms open up directly onto the beach and are very pleasant. Also housekeeping is very good,... More

Miraculously listed as a "Member of the Leading Hotels of the World", this resort falls well short of the expected criteria for such a designation. While basking in the glow of the Caribbean sun, this resort has great potential to capture innocent and uninformed travelers to its shores but, once admitted to the compound you'll realize the mistake you've made....

We have stayed in a lot of 5* beach hotels, and the Carlisle Bay has just gone to the top of our list of favourites. The rooms were superb. The Ocean Suites were enourmous, and beautifully decorated in Farrow & Ball type colours, and boutique chic style. if you get a room at the jetty end of the beach, the... More
