Reviews and Ratings
Staying at this hotel felt like a magical experience, surrounded by a stone wall and gardens with hummingbirds feasting on the flowers. The service was incredible, with pride of ownership shining through. The location, feeling like a rainforest adjacent to Nevis, was beyond description. While the dining was very good, there could have been more options for vegans and vegetarians.
I had an amazing time at this hotel. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and had a wonderful airflow, making my stay extra special. The service felt like having a friend by my side, and the location was beyond description with exceptional attention to detail. However, the noise levels later in the day were a bit of a drawback, especially for someone seeking tranquility.
My stay at Golden Rock was a delightful mix of comfort and warmth. The cottages, including the unique Sugar Mill Suite, were impeccably clean and cozy, complete with lovely extras like a basket of fresh fruit and homemade cookies. The service was exceptional, with a genuine sense of pride in making guests feel at home. However, the location, while beautiful, could be too noisy at times with loud music interrupting the peaceful surroundings. The dining experience was enjoyable, though more options for vegan and vegetarian guests would have been appreciated.
