My husband and I stayed at the Rex for two weeks in January. We had upgraded to a first floor beachfront room and would definitely recommend it. So convenient to have the beach as well as the beach bar just steps away. Spent very little time in the room, which was a little dated, but very clean and no problems with the shower or hot water.

Breakfast buffet was basically the same each day, but no complaints. The quality of the lunch and dinner buffets was very good. (loved the hot sauce too!) Carving stations on different days of lamb, beef, or pork. The barbecue night had excellent ribs and chicken. Eating under the stars on the outdoor patio was a bonus! A variety of fresh grilled fish each day for lunch and dinner was excellent. The only downside was that the lunch and dinner buffets were too similar and did not have enough variety. Burgers, fries, salads and sandwiches for lunch at the pool grill.

We love water sports and took the hobie cats out a couple times. A lot of wind made for rough seas and not great viz during our stay, so we didn't do as much diving and snorkeling as we would have liked. Took a snorkel trip and a couple dive trips to a reef and a wreck and the dive shop staff was great......"Ocean" and Charleson in particular. In fact, the entire staff at the Rex helped make our trip more enjoyable. There are also vendors on the beach that will approach you, but are not pushy - had fun talking to Carl.

The view from the bar on the cliff adjacent to the pool was amazing. A great place to hang, watch a sunset and meet other guests. On Sundays, take a short walk down the beach to the Aquarium Restaurant. They have an excellent island band and dancing on the patio at 3:00.

Just got back from a week at the REX. Read alot on tripadvisor and booked because of price, plain and simple. We arrived with a plane load of people all going to the same place....hotel is in walking distance of airport....VERY LONG CHECK IN process, so sit back and have a rum punch.
Staff was very friendly and extremely helpful, since an elderly couple had taken our suitcase in error, and we had to track them down, since they did not report it or bring it to the main office.
The room was in need of updates, and we overlooked that the bed was hard as rock, the fridge didn't work, no safe in the room and the sliding door was broken and the lock was held by one screw......for that incredible weather and piece of beach heaven.
We had a hillside room and my butt and legs got a work out, not much of a view....but never in the room till dark anyway. Oceanfront room would be ideal if you want to pay and can get one.
Pool was great, although we enjoyed the beach best.
THIS IS NOT A PARTY PLACE....actually quite the snore fest. All the nightlife was very dull and we danced one night for 10 minutes when I requested some upbeat music. Just seemed everyone was new to the resort entertainment business, not into getting things going at all, and the place rolls up no later midnight.
Food was OK, the soups were great and the desserts very well done...anything chocolate was heavenly, entrees were average.....but you don't go hungry. Lunch at the pool was hamburgs or sandwich...but never enough poor staff to keep up.....very blah
At breakfast you make reservations for supper, but there were line ups out the door, and I have no idea why....lots of tables, just seemed very disorganized since it was only buffet. dress code is fine, just for men though....ladies dressed as they wanted, most in a dress or fancier short sets...some in tshirt and bumming around attire, found it unfair for the guys
Price was right and overall it was OK....if my bed was comfy I'd say good.
Felt comortable in town, people are friendly....gorgeous island
i would go again

I want to say---a vacation is what you make of it!!!!
The staff at the Rex are amazing. Very friendly.
The food was very good. We never went hungry.
There were 6 of us and 4 of us had beach front rooms. That was wonderful.
Went on a tour of the island with Tom that we met on the beach--he showed us all the highlights--we learned a lot and felt safe the whole time. I know some people say he is not insured and such--but we had fun with him.
Went to the market with the hotel on Saturday--don't miss that experience.
Yes the evening entertainment left something to be desired. BUT, the Wizards (a local steel band) were wonderful.
As I said a vacation is what you decide to make of it.
Most of the issues at the Rex is not the fault of the staff there---but of the Head Office of the Rex.
We would return to this wonderful island and the Rex.

My first night here I put on nice shorts and nice polo shirt to go and eat at the buffet for dinner and they refused to let me to eat, they told me I had to get my food and go outside and eat it. They made me feel like a dog. What was really disgusting is there were all kinds of women in the buffet with shorts on, some had spaghetti strap halters on, swimsuits with shorts and I had a nice pair of shorts and polo shirt that meets or exceeds the dress code of any golf course and I was told to eat outside with the cats and dogs. I just left the Air Transat tour rep meeting because when I put the question to the rep and told her that their brochure and website says nothing of wearing pants and collared shirts to the buffet and she said that on the Rex site it explains the dress code and I made her aware that I didn't book through the Rex site I booked through Transat holidays, but she was more interested in dumping me and getting on to the tours where she can earn her commission from everybody. If I wanted to wear pants I would have stayed home and If I knew that I needed to wear pants I would've either brought a pair or found another resort that was not prejudice towards men because women were allowed to wear what they said men couldn't wear. WHAT A JOKE. Also, when we arrived my wife asked for a shot of tequila and they wanted her to pay for it so then we now find out that the all inclusive drinks is very limited now, and of course there was nothing mentioned in the brochure and on Transat's web site. What a Joke. I don't mind following the rules but I would like to know what they are before you take my money and then tell me what I can and can't do, I would like to have the option before I spend my money. I've been on 21 vacations in the past 3 years and before I left Canada I knew what was required but here at the Grenadian and Transat Holidays they take your money and when you get here they tell you what all the rules are even if you weren't allowed to prepare for them. Now this is a joke. I will leave a further review at the end of this vacation.
