Hotels near Magazine Beach, True Blue

I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND STAYING HERE! For the following reasons: 1. Location The location is far from local amenities such as supermarkets, shops etc so if you dont drive you will have to spend ALOT of money on taxis. However the hotel is right on the beach which is a positive. 2. Facilities/ Value for money The facilities are not up to standard for how much they charge. You are better off going to another hotel. The rooms are outdated aswell as the appliances.( I booked a self catering villa) the bath was dirty, hair drier and phone was not working, the cabinets and doors were chipped. Furthermore there was no light in the fridge. You dont get no liquid hand soap just some small bars of soap. The pans provided stick when cooking and are in bad condition. The place really needs updating! 3. Entertainment There's no entertainment except a little steel pan for a few hours. so if entertainment is your thing you're better off going to another hotel resort. 4. Staff Generally the staff were good however the manager of the hotel was unsympathetic to the fact that we were charged so much even though the place is substandard. I raised this with the manager and was told ” this is what it is and that we knew before we came” and also when I raised the fact that the phone in the room was not working, i was told ” everyone has cell phones”. The manager just wants your money and doesn't care about the state of the place. We were overcharged by one of their receptionists and told we would receive an invoice. Days passed and never got it. Had to chase them for that. 5. Airport transfer The guy they have doing airport transfer called Dexter, was 30mins late and was driving dangerously. He was rude, clearly had road rage and should not be driving guests! After having a nice holiday then being driven to the airport by someone like him is a not good.

What started as a lovely stay at the very highly rated Siesta Hotel, only turned to a nightmare soon after we entered our room. So here’s the list. You have to climb an extremely steep (paved) hill to get to our accommodations. No less than 100m at 14% grade. This, without a cart or vehicle. Then three flights of stairs. That doesn’t bode well for those like myself who have had two hip replacements. That was the least of it. TV didn’t work in the main room. The TV in the bedroom was PPV only. We went to the grocery store to get some food to cook for ourselves as this is advertised as a kitchenette…Except the oven doesn’t work and it will be “tomorrow” before we could get someone to look at it. So sorry for the inconvenience. He did come by. Great guy. Said it needed a new element. Ok. Gonna be a few days. I asked if I could simply go to another room to prepare the pizza and was told they are fully booked. There is no possibility of that being true. They MAY be 1/4 booked. And that’s a stretch. If they are completely booked, the people in their rooms have slept for days without coming outside. No one at the pool. No one at the restaurant. No one walking around the property. But they are fully booked. 👀 The window in the main room has no curtain with complete view to the inside of the room…especially after dark. The window in the bathroom is the same. The room comes with two beautiful balconies. That would be great if it was not for the AC unit fan installed on the deck which creates heat, dripping water, and noise. If you want to enjoy the view, do so from inside with the sliding glass door closed. The exterior door only has a standard door knob lock. No deadbolt for extra security. Did they even think this through? Could not possibly be more disappointed in this property, its staff at the time of our stay, and the management. Serious consideration was given to moving to another location altogether. Had we not already paid for the two night stay, we would have. All in all, we made the best of an absolutely pitiful situation. Cheers.
