9 Beaches

Also, keep in mind that all the rooms are the same - the only difference is the location/proximity to the water.

The location was beautiful and we truly enjoyed our stay.

Usually we would can forgive just "okay food" because of the awesome location.

We had a taxi cab driver from the airport who was very funny and informative.

9 Beaches is located in Sandys parish which is pretty much the furthest point from the airport ($50 taxi or $40 pre-arranged shuttle).

No TV, a very basic queen size bed, a portable noisy air conditioning unit on the floor under a window, a tiny bathroom with no bathtub.

Seems every room is the same: queen size bed right next to the door, a small table, a coffee table, a futon, and a bathroom with a small shower.

Moreover, there were ants in our room, and our bathroom and bed linens had holes in them.

There are only two issues that I had with my stay: biting bugs which were in the rooms and in the bed -- they may have been ants completely ate up my legs, making it very uncomfortable the second day of my trip there.

Our cabana had a small bathroom (but very clean), fridge, fan, ac unit, comfortable double bed, full size pull out sofa, dining table, 2 chairs and a veranda which had 2 chairs and a table.

On Thursday we sat for 3 hours waiting for food and drink service at lunch time when there were about 7 visible employees around the bar area and only about 25 guests at the restaurant.

Food and Drinks: The food at the restaurant and the drinks at the bar were surprisingly good.

Breakfast buffet is included regardless, and you may want to have meals at restaurants at the nearby Dockyard area or in the little town near the resort anyway.

The resort's main restaurant, High Tide, had such delicous food, we decided to eat there 3 nights to try the different dishes.

1 TV at the resort and that is in the bar area above Hide Tide restaurant, just off the lobby - not very comfortable for the kids to lounge around and watch a movie).

They have a front desk/reception/reservationist/concierge that essentially does everything from serving drinks at the bar taking new reservations, checking people in/out and answering touring questions.

Also, assign one front desk staff member to be a full time concierge.

Other than that, we were close to the lobby, restaurants, pool and beaches.

It is great not having to go through a lobby and ride an elevator to get to your room from the beach.

There isn’t a spa; there isn’t a priceless art collection, it lacks a mammoth pool with water features, it doesn’t abut a tournament length golf course and it doesn’t have high end suites.

The wireless internet does not always work at the individual cabanas - heard that from many guests.

There are wireless capabilities on the resort.

We were so pleasantly surprised by the clean, cozy charm of the "room", and the absolute beauty of the beaches on this resort.

They did offer to have the maid come back and clean the room again while we waited.

The room was very clean, and although I saw a few ants, the hotel has a special insect spray in the room and once I sprayed that, the ants were gone.

This place is awesome, the convenient a la carte service/the tasteless cheese on the pizza and pool Bathrooms need to be clean.

The rooms are cute and rustic, very clean and simple.
