Spa Hotels & Resorts in Cable Beach from AU$424

"We left a terrible experience at the Baha Mar to come to the British Colonial and it saved our vacation! It was the relaxing getaway that we needed. The hotel and beach were beautiful, we loved the lounging area before the pool where we quietly rested while our son napped. Exactly what we needed which is what we didn’t get at the Baha Mar, sun and serenity. The staff is INCREDIBLE and definitely contributed to a memorable experience, with the exception of an odd few. We dined at the buffet every morning and every single staff member there was a pleasure, especially Cindy. We also dined at the lunch/dinner restaurant a couple of times where we also had a great experience. The gentlemen on the beach crew were exceptional, especially Ken! Although I would say the beach bar/restaurant does not meet the excellence of the rest of the hotel. The service was definitely not as friendly, it was slow and seemed kind of careless. We avoided it after a couple of satisfactory experiences. The hotel is in a good location so we were able to grab food at other spots. I would also note that the rooms are small. We would have preferred queen beds over the double beds which is the usual standard, and our shower was tiny! But overall it was a good experience."

"This hotel was an amusement park, not a vacation. We left after the second day to spend the remainder of our vacation at another hotel. There were WAY TOO MANY guests and not enough amenities to accommodate them. They state they have 45+ restaurants but that is false! Tiny little food trucks that serve terrible food and takeout huts are considered a restaurant but are only open during the day, so night time selection for dinner is very limited. On top of that not all restaurants are open every night of the week, so on the day of our arrival we got rejected at every restaurant that was open which was few. Your basically told to make reservations or don’t expect food, but there is only so much reservation availability for 3 full towers of hotel guests totalling to thousands of people. The one night we did do dinner we went to the steak house which had mediocre food, wouldn’t eat the steak again. You end up waiting in a long line up everywhere you go. The beach has people packed like sardines, again not enough space to accommodate the number of guests that stay. Room wasn’t cleaned on day 2, house keeping seemed overwhelmed. Loud music being blasted on speakers literally everywhere you go. To top it all off the rooms and decor are mediocre at best. We don’t mind paying premium pricing for a premium room and amenities, but nothing about this hotel was worth the pricing. We were much happier spending the remainder of our vacation at another hotel. 100% do not recommend this hotel."

"all expectations were met - the grounds were well planned - pools were heated - directly on the beach - the room was well acquitted with a great view - the food was plentiful and a tremendous variety daily - our only negative was the weather !"

"Reality did not meet expectations for the price. Most of the waterslides were shut down. Food menus limited. Very dirty overall. And the prices were astronomical!!!! "

"On the plus side the facility was well maintained including hotel, grounds, beach, and pool areas. Buffets at Verandah offered a multitude of choices catering to everyone's taste. Specialty meals at two of the restaurants were a very nice touch. Staff was friendly and helpful. On the negative side I wasn't pleased with the Internet options. Standard had to be renewed on a daily basis while paying extra, in this day & age, for high-speed internet at a hotel makes no sense. I found our mattress to be lumpy while my wife had no problem. We both disliked the pillows. It was like sleeping on a bag of sand. "

"The views were gorgeous. Definitely a place to relax in not much of a party hotel"

"Great location and beaches. The Reef and Cove are great for adults"
