Curtain Bluff - All Inclusive

We were four generations traveling together. There is something for everyone, and quiet spaces for doing 'nothing'. Our diverse group was completely satisfied with the quality and variety of food offerings; each dinner offering was above average. The geography of CB is exceptional, hard to describe the rich offering of two unique beach scenes . . . calm waters for swimming and water sports at any level; contrasted by rhythmic waves breaking around rocks near our bedrooms for the most relaxing sleep.

Curtain Bluff feels like stepping into Kellerman’s Resort if it had a Caribbean cousin. It’s relaxed, familiar, and full of understated charm. Nothing flashy or trendy, but clearly a place that’s been lovingly cared for over decades. You’ll quickly see why so many guests return year after year—it’s more than a holiday spot, it’s a tradition. There’s a strong sense of community here, almost like a club. Guests casually ask, “Is this your first visit?” and by the end of your stay, you’ve worked out who’s part of the ‘establishment.’ It’s friendly, but definitely has a rhythm all its own. Food is solid—like eating at your favorite local restaurant. Plenty of choice, not too adventurous. If you’re after bold Caribbean spice, you might want to pack your own hot sauce! Drinks and cocktails are a highlight: beautifully crafted, never rushed. The beach is everything you’d hope for: warm water, soft sand, and top-notch water sports. Go diving, sailing, waterskiing—or just relax in the sun with a good book. Entertainment is nightly, usually during dinner. Acts change nightly—some excellent—but the soundtrack leans smooth and safe: lots of ballads, steel drums, and ballroom dancing. Don’t expect a party scene; most nights are lights-out by 11. A surprising bonus is the media detox. No TVs in rooms, no background music all day. If you want sound, bring headphones. If you want screen time, there’s a TV room. Otherwise, you’re encouraged to unplug—and it’s a refreshing change. Finally, it’s the staff who make this a truly enjoyable stay. It feels unfair to single out any one of them, they are all wonderful people. Carol, our driver and Island guide is just the happiest person. The crew running the beach bar are always good for a chat when you need to escape the sun. Would we return? Not just yet. We’re still chasing more adventurous trips. But we’d send our parents in a heartbeat—the relaxed pace, the charm, and the quiet rhythm suit that demographic perfectly. That said, there’s investment happening and upgrades on the way. Curtain Bluff won’t change drastically, but it may gently evolve—and in doing so, might start drawing in a new generation of traveler.

We felt very at home at Curtain Bluff as apparently many do. There are many repeat guests. The grounds are beautiful (all rooms have ocean views), the staff are friendly and very helpful. And the beach chairs are luxurious!
