Desiterra Resort & Spa

The staff were extremely helpful, polite and knowledgeable. The communication via WhatsApp was a great idea and was responded to immediately by the hotel who could not have been any more helpful even if it was just advice on where the supermarket is. Villa was clean and cleaners came at a time to suit you which was communicated via WhatsApp making planning your day easier. Facilities at the villa were superb, sun loungers, table and chairs and sofa area for sunbathing meant you were spoilt for choice on where to soak in the sun. There was a buggy service which you could utilise to get around the resort, although this only made up of 24 villas so it isn't too big to get around so we didn't utilise this. Private pool was large enough to actually swim in so not just a plunge pool and the view of the sea was partially obscured but still nice. The aircon system was really good, we stayed in the Honeymoon villa which had split floors and both floors had aircon which kept the room really cool. The bed was also a huge plus point as this was huge and really comfortable. Breakfast had enough options for everyone and was healthy inspired. Overall, a really lovely hotel to have stayed at.

The place was scenic however the surrounding areas were run down and appeared to be some construction near by. Staff were available on WhatsApp with quick responses at all hours.

The villas were very comfortable, the location was very peaceful and private, the food was delicious and the staff were exceptional. Nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely go again.

Restaurant was only a small walk away from villa for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The local town with stunning sunset views was just a 7 minute drive away. Nice and clean. Everyone was efficient and friendly. George was very welcoming and helped with our plans to get to the nearest beach, a very hard working man and deserves to be recognised for all that he does. No matter what time we went to the restaurant at the property, George was always working!

The breakfast was really good. Not buffet style, you have coffee, orange juice and some breads to begin, and then choose one item from the menu. Throughout the week I tried the avocado toast, eggs Benedict and the granola. All were beautifully presented, super tasty and for me the real bonus was the gluten free toast on those options. In fact there was a plentiful selection of gluten free items in addition to fruit platters and pancakes with Nutella for example. We didn't use the gym but it was well equipped, and the gym instructor was giving classes outside too. The pool area has a superb range of seating. Lounge beds, tables and chairs and cabanas. There is also a swim up pool. The villas are stunning! We had a one bed villa, which incorporated a small kitchen area, small tv sitting area, huge comfortable bed. Separate toilet, sink area and walk in (huge) shower, which was powerful. We also had an upstairs area, a sofa looking out though french doors onto a balcony with seaview. The bed is made each day, the linen changed and fresh towels when needed. The villa is freshened each morning. You have your own pool (which in mid May is absolutely freezing! - but my other half used it for a 10 minute cryo-dip every morning and loved it!)plenty of seating and some lounge beds. They also provide pool side towels. The staff are all so polite and helpful. Everyone says good morning, enjoy your day, how can I help, what do you need to make things better! The resort is spectacularly clean. The spa is luxury at its finest. Michaela gave me a short massage as I was suffering with my lower back - she is a amazing qualified chiropractor and I instantly felt better than I had in days. The sauna and jacuzzi room I used was beautiful - again, so clean. There is a hairdresser there too, although I didn't use this facility. They have a driver who can take you anywhere on the island.
