Aupic Paradise

Need dining options

We needed a 1 night stay to b close to the airport. The description said it was a 4 min walk to the airport. The taxi I had to hire took us longer than 5 minutes. Absolutely no way to walk to the airport. There were multiple dogs barking all night. The restaurant was being remodeled so we had 2 choices for delivery. Dominoes and KFC. I felt the room was clean, rust in the tub. No shampoo bottles. They did have soap. The place got the job done. We stayed in the room not evenn24 hours.

Nice

Clean and convenient near the airport.

Good public transportation. Nearness to int’l airport - 10 mins Safe to go walking. Comfort rooms are inadequate- no microwave. Many inefficiencies were addressed by staff and owner. I was upgraded to ocean view room. Restaurant is closed on Mondays - very limited menu. Below average towels- take a beach towel, if you have beach plans. It’s a residential neighborhood- prepare for loud music, crickets chirping, crowing roosters and dogs barking. I have no regrets staying at Aupic Paradise. I present the facts. You decide.

We booked the Aupic Paradise before we left Canada as a final-night, close to the airport hotel before our flight home. Only 5 minutes from Hewanorra International, it made for an easier trip to the airport than driving all the way down from Rodney Bay for an early WestJet flight to Toronto. The front desk clerk was pleasant when we arrived and explained his POS machine wasn't functioning properly (on omen of things to come?) so we paid in cash. We were assigned room #5 which was small but clean and on the second floor. My wife used the washroom but complained it wouldn't flush. Upon investigation, the flush mechanism was missing and the tank was empty. There was no way to flush the toilet. Downstairs to the clerk we went who changed us to apartment #2. This was a multi-room abode with unplugged appliances, a lack of screens on the windows, and an air conditioning unit which absolutely refused to work. At least the toilet flushed. We decided to stay there as we weren't sure what other options we had. We spent a fitful night dealing with no-see-ums (no screens, remember?) howling dogs, the same frogs from Rodney Bay, loud motorcycles, and the knowledge there was no coffee for the morning or onsite services (the clerk had cleared out at around 8:00 pm and we were on our own). The advertised onsite restaurant doesn't exist, by the way. At least we couldn't find it, even if it was closed. We did have hot water for a shower in the morning, though. At least something. And the place has "good bones," but needs a huge upgrade in everything from technology to basic stuff like working toilets, screens on the windows and fixtures/appliances. They deserve two stars if only for their proximity to the airport and the availability of hot water. Much, much work to be done though before I'd rate it any higher than 2. And my friends (and wife) would probably tell you I'm being generous. My final suggestion would be to just call it the "Aupic." It saves sign space and is not misleading like the current name.
