I would not pay any attention to the naysayers here. You will always find people who love to complain. Our family of six (including children 19, 17, 15, and 11) stayed at Curtain Bluff for the past week. We have traveled alot, and we all agree that this is simply as good as it gets and just loved it. Moreover, all of the guests we spoke to here, including families with little kids, older and younger couples, college kids, etc., all agreed that this place is the best. First, the food is unequaled at any Caribbean resort. While we were here, Andre Soultner (former Chef/Owner of the famed Lutece in New York) was a guest Chef but the food here was and is always top notch. The rooms are very nice and very comfortable (we had two junior suites overlooking the ocean), the staff was always nice and helpful, the beach is great (both on the ocean side and Caribbean sea side) and the general attitude was relaxed. Although they talk about dressing up for dinner, that just means no jeans or shorts, and a polo shirt. If you want to sail on a Hobi Cat or windsurf, you just tell them and you are off and running, same with waterskiiing. Want to play squash, tennis, boci ball, croquet, whatever, there was never a wait, you just play. You are never bored and always relaxed. You have alot of choices with activities but no pressure at all. There is nice live music during every dinner (and afterwards), all the drinks, smoothies etc. you ever want all day long, and all the food you can imagine. With everything included, and given the quality, I quite frankly think it is a bargain despite the price. It is no wonder people come here year after year. If you want a place that has it all, this is it and you need look no further. Enjoy!

“Curtain Bluff Very Disappointing”

We decided to go to Curtain bluff because our family was going to be there. We had planned on a 7 day stay at Cap Julica but gave it up for those reasons. Where do I begin. We did have a beautiful suite called Grace Bay. But for 900.00 a night I could have had clean bedding, the sheets were clean but the to covers and pillows that dress the bed all had stains. The furniture in the room like our chaise was stained as well as the chaise lounges and chairs on our outside balcony. Maids came twice a day to clean and to turn down the beds. After day one I never received another bar of soap or shower cap again for 7 nights. I had to ask for the shower cap. The bedroom of the suite had air conditioning but the bathroom did not, and air did not circulate so we had to get a fan just to be able to shower in the heat. Thank goodness the bedroom had it for it was in the high 80's -90"s with 100% humidity. Room service was always brought on time and the servers we very nice. Dinner was the worse because of no air conditioning and you must dress for dinner. We could ring out of clothes after a few minutes. It was unbarable. The bar area also had no circulation and we ended up back in the rooms at night just for some relief from the heat. Lunch was so- so and the lunch staff with the exception of Carlos was not very nice. He was the only smiling face. Breakfast was ok ,but again the staff was not always friendly. Beach area really only one to use because the surf in the other was so strong even this native Floridian was not getting in it. So the calm beach was full of rocks and debri as you entered, most people floated on rafts to stay off the bottom. I was so unimpressed as this was the worst beach I have ever been in in the Carribean. I have been to over 15 and counting. The water staff were ok, some days friendly some days not. The fishing guides were great. The spa . Oh the spa , the new addition of $2,000.000 was a beautiful facility but the help was worse than the beginners at massage school in the States. I had a facial that was sub par and was left for 45 minutes before my massage which was terrible. I did notify management and a partial refund was given. To stay 7 night in Curtain bluff is way to long and I will never ever go back for the money we spent. You are charges a 10% tip rate per day as well as a tax per day. I would have gladly tipped myself. As far as staff in the gift shop wonderful. Front desk wonderful, but that is where it ended. What a horrible dissapointment for a beautiful landscaped property that has so much potential.

We spent our 20th anniversary at Curtain Bluff. It was everything we had hoped for! Elegant but laid back, relaxing when we felt like it but plenty to do in between. We went Scuba diving, snorkeling, sailing. We stayed in the honeymoon suite which had a beautiful view and a private deck with a jacuzzi. The hotel is now fully air conditioned for the times you need it. We did have many steps to walk up to get to our room so if you have limited mobility you may want to discuss this with the hotel before you arrive (we were grateful for the exercise). The food was good, we do not eat meat or shellfish so we did not sample many of the special meals which we heard were wonderful. The staff was friendly, especially the waiters. We would go back in a minute! Maybe we'll bring the kids next time- or maybe not.

We spent a week at Curtain bluff, after a week in nevis & by the end of the week, I don't think that i have ever felt more relaxed! We had a beautiful room overlooking the beach & sea, with the sound of the waves to send you to sleep at night. You could not find fault with the food or service, always plenty of choice for all meals, including, if you could manage it, afternoon tea! A live group played every evening for entertainment & dancing. Every thursday there is a cocktail party in Bluff House, owned by the Howards, who make you very welcome in their wonderful house. There are excellent water sport facilities, including deep sea fishing & snorkelling trips.
would definitely like to return.

My husband & I returned just yesterday from an amazing week long honeymoon at Curtain Bluff. He & I were fortunate enough to spend the week in the Terrace Suite, or better referred to as the "honeymoon suite" at the top of the bluff overlooking the magnificent ocean. The views were unsurpassed from our room, as I would imagine that they would be from any of their rooms. As you walk around the resort, you truly can appreciate their acute attention to detail, as well as the cleanliness.

Truly the overall resort is nothing short of extraordinary. Everything from our initial arrival with a warm greeting from a representative from Curtain Bluff to the unsurpassed service that we received throughout the duration of our stay was everything & more that we could have hoped for. We especially enjoyed the overall sense of peace & relaxation that encompasses Curtain Bluff. Additionally, their staff, including Curtain Bluffs gracious owners ensure that your stay is a memorable one. I know that I do not speak only for myself when I say that my husband & I genuinely look forward to a return trip to Curtain Bluff...hopefully sooner rather than later:) Thank you to everyone at Curtain Bluff for a perfect honeymoon.
