Wonderful

A great location and clean, nicely styled accommodation. The kitchen and bathroom cabinetry was a little old, however everything we needed was there. Lovely fresh linen and ocean views, with waves lapping on the beach made the perfect weekend getaway.

Good option in horseshoe bay
Communication and location both great, as were the Sails facilities. Our only concern was the size and layout of some aspects of the two bedroom villa / eg the powder room. Very small. And not being able to use the spa jets in the bathroom, but that’s likely a short term issue. Very good location and a nice pool.

The property is located directly over the road from the beach, so the location is awesome! The Managers are friendly and there are many dining options nearby. The unit that we stayed in was quite dated and some things in the unit were not working as they should (eg. lights, hotplate). I felt that the unit was very overpriced!
It was a nice stay, friendly and helpful new managers.

Great place to stay.
Beautiful weather, great beach right out the front. Everything is within a very short distance flat walking. Fantastic walking tracks available for the more energetic. A bus serveice that is cheap operates throughout the island. New owners in the business are enthusiastic to do well. Highly recommend this place.

We wish we could live there.
Absolutely loved the location. Couldn't have been better. Directly across from the beach and a short stroll to all the shops and eateries. Wonderful sunsets every night. What else could you want for?
Great stay, great location right on the beach at Horseshoe Bay. I’ll be back!

Excellent location
Perfectly placed. Close to all amenities, waterfront and water activities. Good eating places to choose from. We would and will come back and stay at Sails On Horseshoe.
One downside was the inconsistency of the wi fi. Observed quite a number of people frustrated with it dropping in and out. Not the end of the world but.

Wonderful stay with beautiful views of the sunsets
Wonderful stay at Horseshoe Bay, great spot for seeing the sunset. Bit dated, we had a beachfront apartment which provided a wonderful view of Horseshoe Bay. Very scenic and very peaceful. Most apartments are two story with bedrooms downstairs with living areas upstairs. Lovely place, weather fantastic, very much love to come back again.
Beautiful location, well fitted out, good pool. Internet coverage non existent in our suite but worked outside.

Pleasant Stay
Pleasant place to stay but lacked a sea view. Staff were accommodating and service was good. We had issues checking in due to Covid cleaning requirements but this was outside of the the establishments control and the owners were very good in compensating us for this inconvenience.

The best views!!! Plenty of space for the family to relax by the ocean.
Had an awesome 5 night stay here in a 2 br garden terrace unit. Loved that it was at the quieter end of Horseshoe Bay and right across from the beach. No driving required. Whilst it is obvious the resort is older the 2 level unit was very spacious and loved having a 2nd toilet upstairs. It had all we needed to be fully self contained and we ate every meal except 1 at the unit sitting on the balcony which had a view of the water. We arrived 2 hrs before checkin and Kathy was lovely enough to let us check in earlier and let us know they have beach chairs, towels and small eskys all for guests use which is fabulous. Apart from that we had no interaction until checkout. It was a quieter time of year on the whole island which we found lovely and even though apparently the resort was fully booked over the weekend we barely saw anyone. The pool was also great to use when we didnt feel like the beach. Overall we loved our stay here and would definitely return.
