We looked forward to our dinner at this pretty resort overlooking the wonderful beach at Harbour Island. What a disappointment. The view is superb and staff very friendly but the food fails. Overcooked mussels, bland chicken picatta, and even more disappointing a fish curry with almost no sauce! With prices over $40 for a main course one would expect a... More

Quaint, clean, fresh, amazing staff. Best vacation ever. Manicured grounds, incredible beaches, I'll never get enough of Briland and Runaway Hill.

From the moment we arrived, Jen Messier and the staff made us feel like the inn was our house, not a hotel! if you are looking for a pretenious, stuffy place, this may not be your spot but if you are looking for laid back graciousness and charm, a view you want to burn into your memory, and a place...

OK so this is not the Ritz but part of the charm of this laid back slightly faded hotel is what makes Runaway Hill such a wonderful place to stay.Harbour Island is such a genial but expensive (Correction very expensive ) place to holiday but pays you back in bundles if you accept the casual and total friendly sincerity of...

As the tiny sea plane buffeted by geothermal drifts pops and drops and swoops to it's final destination, the lump in the throat grows and so does the anticipation. Returning to Harbour, how sweet! About three years ago I stayed at Runaway Hill Club and had a very nice stay and I'm happy to say I had another very nice... More

We have stayed at Runaway Hill Club twice (and plan on going again), where we thoroughly enjoyed the attention-to-detail service and overall, numerous amenities offered by the Messier family and their staff. The overall sense of "getting away from it all" on Harbour Island was exceptional. The staff was always professional and accomodating of any special requests. The freshly caught... More

Average at best - we don't understand all the 5 star reviews. While the beach is nice and the island is charming, the Inn was average at best. This was a unanimous review by our entire family. We had two rooms, one was spacious but in need of a bathroom overall - moldy with exposed piping. The other was awful... More

Runaway Hill Inn acknowledges occasionally a customer has a complaint/request which is beyond our control. Like most out islands, Harbour Island is about outdoor living and music is an integral part of the Caribbean culture. Staff and Management was unable to control live music being played at 9:30 at night at a neighboring private residence. Fortunately, the music was finished... More

This hotel, the beach, management, and the service are impeccable. No need to look elsewhere. I have travelled extensively and as long as yoou're not looking for a swanky, populated, pretentious resort, this place is perfect.

Jennifer and Paul and the staff are extremely helpful and personable, and treat you like one of the family. we have stayed in the main house and in one of the bungalows, both are excellent. no TV or telephones, so you are there to get away from it all. lovely...
