We picked True Blue Bay for its diving school, but we weren't disappointed by the hotel at all. We had one of the basic True Blue type rooms, but it was huge, with a little kitchenette in case you wanted to make your own food rather than go to the restaurant. It had a hairdryer & iron/ironing board too, which was great.
The tower rooms looked good - even bigger room than ours, with a spiral staircase up to a balcony overlooking the sea.
I wouldn't bother with this hotel if you after a beach holiday, as it has a very tiny beach, though you can always get a taxi to the nearest big beach.
Food was great at breakfast, lunch & dinner time and the entertainment in the evening was worth staying in for too, especially on the Caribbean night. Watch out for the cheeky blackbird who swoops in to pinch your omelette in the morning though!
The dive school was good, with three nice boats that were easy to get back into. We felt very safe diving with them as their safety procedures were excellent. They also have a well stocked shop if you need any spares.
Within walking distance of the hotel, approx 10 mins away, is a pharmacy that sells all sorts of bits & pieces to eat, and next door to it is a restaurant that does pizza, burgers etc. We didn't try it, but friends said it was good food, but could be a bit noisy. Another ten mins further on is De Big Fish restaurant, right down by the water. Food was lovely and you don't need to book. Take some mossie spray with you though!
We also booked a couple of excursions and I would recommend the all day island tour and a trip to Fish Friday. You should make the effort to see some of the island and visit the nutmeg factories & rum distilleries. We leanred a lot about the island that day - had a great day out.
So I think this hotel is well worth it for value, food, attitude of the staff, dive school and location. We will be going back next year!
