**Review of the British Colonial Resort** I recently stayed at the British Colonial Resort, and I have to say it was a disappointing experience from start to finish. The service was subpar; the staff seemed indifferent and unresponsive to our needs, which was frustrating. Our room had a broken shower head, making it difficult to enjoy a proper shower. This was just one of the many maintenance issues we encountered during our stay. To add to the disappointment, everything felt overpriced, and we were consistently overcharged for services and amenities that didn’t meet expectations. The dining experience was particularly disheartening. The food was bland and unseasoned, and I was shocked to find dirt in the salad, which clearly hadn’t been washed properly. It was unacceptable for a resort that claims to offer quality dining options. Overall, I cannot recommend the British Colonial Resort. Between the poor service, maintenance issues, overpriced offerings, and unsatisfactory food, it left a lot to be desired. I would suggest looking for other accommodations that prioritize guest satisfaction.

Newly renovated, nice downtown hotel
The hotel just opened in Dec 2023 after a complete renovation so everything is clean and new. Lots of lounge chairs at the pool and beach which were never overly crowded, but the beach is small. Cruise ship port is next to the property so ships come and go every morning and late afternoon/early evening, but you can’t hear them. Overall great stay with friendly attentive staff.
