Sainte Marie Spa Hotels

Princess Bora has all the bases to be a luxury resort but it lacks the attention to details and a proper maintenance (beach area was terribly old and dirty). The only really good service is the Spa (only reason for the 2/5 score), well kept and with lovely staff. Other than that it doesn’t deserve more than 1 star. The first day one of the bedrooms was given to us with dirty towels left from the previous guests…after apologies and new towels we were all set hoping it was only a silly mistake. We were so wrong. Locker batteries died in most of the bedrooms and were eventually replaced only the day before our departure even though we had asked many times before. Lunch service is just terribile in every way, the second day we had to wait for more than 1 hour with waiters laughing at us when we asked what was happening. Once again some cold apologies after an upset talk with the “directors”. Third lunch, always long waiting time, a plate comes with a hair in it. The waitress takes it (the hair not the plate), doesn’t even say “I am sorry”, and goes to the director who sees it and leaves the restaurant without saying anything. Not a single apologie or the option of remaking the dish, just terrifying. Table tennis and beach volley were services that the hotel should have offered but where unavailable for no apparent reason. Staff was after all available with some exceptions but really slow in every way possible (be ready to wait even for a bottle of water). One last world goes to the “directors” whom we wouldn’t have realized worked there if they hadn’t shown us the property the day of our arrival. Not a single time they came to ask how it was going (perhaps to most table they did maybe they just didn’t like us?) and the last day after all of the problems we had they didn’t even say goodbye or apologize. Bill was paid (even the plate with the hair in it…) in full and off we went to the airport. Princess Bora was such a big disappointment even though Saint Marie is such a beautiful island.
