Idle Awhile Resort

There was a roof replacement going on. The property while nice and quaint can definitely benefit for some refurbishing/renovating. The toilet was shaky and the toilet seat was smaller that the toilet bowl

My trip was very nice. The staff was great. Very clean. Felt safe. Food was good. Id definitely go back. Easy to get transportation. Hotel will assist.

This beachfront property was clean and the staff were welcoming as well as helpful. I would certainly recommend this property.

Such a great property. The greenery and lush trees surround you. Not too big, not too small. Just right. I will definitely "Idle" again.

Awesome resort!

This is a review for the Beach resort. I can say that it is deserving of its high scores as it's a really lovely place. The staff are happy, helpful and hospitable. The location is brilliant as the ***** of the beach they are on is clean and quiet. It was so quiet that we saw barracudas, rays, star fish and small coral fish. The only downside is that on one day jellyfish arrived and stung plenty of people but the bar staff quickly stepped in to administer first aid. Plus it's easy to get to the shops, other restaurants or get a taxi to go on excursions from here either by asking the receptionist to book, using Uber or getting a passing one. The kayaks, trampoline and paddle boards are fun and more importantly free. They have a permanent beach security guard and a lifeguard during the days (except Sunday). They have ample sun loungers, umbrellas and beach towels. The service on the beach bar is great. They are so friendly and go the extra mile. They explained when we checked in that the kitchen was small so food service is not immediate which was fine as it was worth waiting for. Room service is free, you get a welcome free drink and they take your luggage across to your room. Room Stayed in the family suite (108) across the road. It is large and well air conditioned (3 units). It has two sinks and one is out with the bathroom but only one toilet and shower. The beds are very comfortable and the main bed is so large that it fits 4 people in it...though not to sleep, to watch TV. They need to put blackout blinds on the bathroom and across the front windows as although no one can see in (we checked) at night there's a street light that shines in and the morning light means an early wake up for whoever is in the bunk bed. You get all the toiletries you need except hair conditioner and body lotion. The kitchen came with washing up liquid, plenty of utensils, plates etc and a big fridge freezer. You can cook a meal if you want as there's a hob, microwave and a mini electric oven/toaster. The housekeeping was excellent. The TVs couldn't broadcast cable but you could use Netflix if you have it. The WiFi is slow, cuts out and they really need better security. If you live in a town or city the noise level is much the same during the day and up until approximately 23h. Thereafter it becomes fairly quiet until the early morning. However if you are a light sleeper or go to bed early take ear plugs. Safety Felt secure as the hotel office is on the ground floor so staff and usually about, the laundry service is at the back and they work until late. Plus the restaurant next door and Garfield farm keep a watchful eye. There's also a safe in the room. Walkability The security staff or general staff will help you across the road. The local shops are a 10 minute walk Food and drink The menu is a little expensive and lacks variety but the lamb chops, saltfish fritters, festival and fruit plate are lovely. They really need to specialise in snacks such as p
