It sounds like this used to be a much better hotel than it is now. The photos on various websites for this hotel do not reflect the current state of the hotel and the grounds. Not only was I and my family disappointed (we only stayed one night and left), but a couple other visitors we met there also did not have a good experience. Nobody I talked with had water pressure to take a decent shower. Only one pool was in service, and it was not very clean. The hot tub alongside the functioning pool was empty/not functioning. The nice white lounge chairs are no longer there - replaced by old wooden ones with chair pads that were dirty/falling apart. I had 2 rooms for my family. One room did not have doors in the bathroom. I never got the remote control for my TV - the one they originally brought did not work. I can add more detail...but you get the picture.

Opening page: Couple on beach relaxing in beach chairs. Not there. It would have been nice to find recliners on the beach.
Enter website: Two fresh water swimming pools...pools were not clean. Bugs/debris cluttered pools. After 'pool man' cleaned them only 1 worth letting the kids get into.
And a jacuzzi...Jacuzzi was empty.
Poolside bar...Poolside bar hasnt been open in quiet a while it seemed.
Succulent fresh fish and lobster...No lobster. Pages were left from the menu furnised to the room hence sending us elsewhere for lunch & dinner as there were not many choices on menus in the rooms.
Discover bountiful seashells...must not have been shell season.
2 rooms were reserved, Ocean view, as after returning the day before from a 12 hour flight I was looking forward to sitting on the veranda, relaxing with the sound of the ocean.
And a Garden view for other family members who are local and
did not want the Ocean view. After walking our family to the Garden view and seeing that they were able to see the ocean, I felt surely our room would be a much better view.
After paying more for the Ocean view room, no ocean was to be seen.

Of over 30 countries we have visited, this is most relaxing place we have ever been (we went in April 05). Treasure beach and the hotel are tranquil. It is a place to chill out and do nothing else. The ocean view room we had was lovely - a huge room - basic but with lots of character and the views amazing. The hotel was so relaxed - with beautiful gardens, pool and eating areas and a really good breakfast. The beach is almost empty, with nice swimming and interesting coral formations. We would recommend the hotel and Treasure Beach to everyone who is looking to escape from the world. If you are looking for mod cons, 24 hour service, nightlife and lots of things to do Treasure Beach is not for you.

The amenities of this hotel are hidden. It is Treasure Beach itself that brings you the joy. My husband and I stayed here many times over the years. The back pool was never as clean as it could be but is was fun to rescue the bugs from drowning. I don't know if the whirlpool ever worked. Breakfast was great even after a walk to the bakery/restaurant (the name just escapes me). However, if Arnie is still there, tell him Art didn't live to make a trip back.

There are plenty places to eat in town if you feel lonely at T.B. The best rooms, I think are next to the ocean but high up. It's a lovely place for two people and you are sure to meet more on the beach. If you see a fisherman, ask him about a boat trip to Black River. It will be more exciting than the trip they try to sell you and you will see and experience a lot more. When I can, I will rent a car and go back by myself.
