Hotel's Favorite
After reading some of the silly reviews on Expedia, I was a little skeptical how this resort was going to go. I have zero complaints about anything whatsoever. The island is definitely back up and running after the Hurricane and Covid slammed the island! If you are looking for an ocean view room, I suggest that you BOOK AN OCEAN VIEW ROOM. I knew that my room wasn’t booked as ocean view, so I wasn’t going to complain when it wasn’t ocean view (as many other reviews have done [eye-roll]). We booked a 3 bedroom suite, and it included everything that we could need… more than enough linens, strong Wi-Fi, fully stocked kitchen, enough seating and a pool table! As other reviews have mentioned, it is not flat terrain. It will require some effort while walking. If you have any mobility issues, this may not be the resort for you. I liked it. After sitting around eating and drinking all day, it felt nice to move! I highly recommend placing a grocery order with Shop N Drop Grocery before you arrive. They delivered everything to our room and put stuff in the fridge for us! A few things to note- you will need coffee filters for the coffee machine. Bring Ziplock bags- there are not any food storage containers. I highly recommend seeing Ravi at Ballerina Jewelers if you’d like any jewelry at a more than fair price! We’ve been buying from him for years and have never been disappointed! I recommend all of these restaurant that are within walking distance and/or are on the resort: CoCo Beach Bar, Isola, Juliette’s Bistro, Buccaneer, Greenhouse, Bovin, La Patrona, Toppers, Skipjacks, Pineapple Pete’s. …

Good well run hotel with a wide range of rooms sizes, many with full kitches. Many pools dotted around the sprawling resort and good sandy beach. Laundry's and grocery store on site as well as several restaurants and bars. Staff are very helpful.

This resort is beautiful. Very clean and lots of attention to details. However, I do not recommend this place if you enjoy a peaceful vacation. The loud music from a beach nearby will keep you awake until after midnight. I needed earplugs to sleep.

We had a lovely time at this resort. From the first moment when they gove us an upgrade to the warm professional staff, we were able to relax and renew. Juliette’s Cafe was a favorite as well as the Mexican restaurant with amazing Choros with chocolate sauce. The Red Bar had Mondays at Church with a live band and loads of dancing. We missed Tuesday Mardi Gras celebrations in Gran Case…. But we Snorkeled with Captain Sean and sunset cruise with Captain Ron. The only problem was the Fitness Center limited hours . Closed at 12 noon Saturday and closed completely on Sunday. With all that good living we need workouts every day. Thanks to all the staff that made this vaca so enjoyable!!!!

The resort it self is nice and clean. I would not recommend buying breakfast buffet when booking online. This buffet is a joke, every day it’s same thing and it’s not good at all it’s horrible. There is grocery store across the street you can make better breakfast yourself

I only stayed for one day , but had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The reception area was beautiful and modern overlooking the bay. The room was very comfortable, clean and nicely decorated. The view from the balcony was breath taking. Staff was helpful and pleasant. Would surely stay there again. Would have loved to have one of the new coffee machine in the room.

We stayed at the Simpson Bay Resort in a Villa overlooking the bay for 7 days. This is a great resort, a great view, and all-around great experience. My only reason for 4 stars is that nothing is included, so everything is an extra fee. That's ok if you plan for it and know it ahead of time. However, we were told by an employee over the phone that snorkel gear and kayak rentals were free for guests. I was also surprised at the daily charge to use the gym. However, all of these were reasonably priced--just unexpected. The food on the resort is very good, but we also visited local markets and bought food and cooked several meals. The kitchen in the villa was well stocked with pots, pans, plates, bowls, etc. The on-property beach is small but one of the best on the island.

Unfortunately you don't know which building on the property you'll be assigned to until you check in. Older buildings are in desperate need of updating and maintenance. While we've loved this resort (& the location) when we stayed here in the past, we will not return. Very disappointing.

Simpson Bay Resort is in a location convenient to the airport and many attractions. Good selection of restaurants on-site and nearby. Nice spa. Plenty of lounge chairs at the pools. Room was good size and nicely appointed but no real view (the backside of neighboring condos and the underside of the tennis court). Very hilly resort so you get a good workout. Resort shuttle was a plus.
