"We enjoyed our stay the staff are lovely but the property is exaggerated - there is no orchard just an avocado tree and some bananas growing- we booked an executive room with spa tub but got a normal room with shower - the resort is well positioned for walking to shops and restaurants and staff organise a car and tours for you which is lovely "

Whispering Pines
2/10 Terrible
"Disappointing, belligerent reception staff. We chose this property because the photos of the bathroom showed a hand held shower head and large shower area - important to us for showering our toddler. However, the room we got had a fixed shower head and a shower about half the size as shown in the photo.
I provided this feedback to the person at reception (at Borry's) and instead of an apology, she blamed me, saying "unless I mentioned it, they have no way of knowing". I was in disbelief, and said, "you didn't advertise your photos were deceptive, so how would I know to tell you"?
She then escalated things and kept arguing and justifying, saying the rooms are being renovated, and there are separate photos for each room (no, this is false, the photos show only the renovated rooms and there is only one type of room) and the room I was given had not been renovated. So she basically admitted their bait and switch, showing the renovated bathroom in the photos and giving me something else. I have uploaded photos showing the listing and the actual.
She would have continued on until I said "I didn't come here to argue."
A simple apology would have been the ethical thing to do - instead it's amazing how some people are so self righteous they have to blame and argue. Everyone else on the island was lovely, just this person choosing to blame the customer. There's no doubt in my mind they broke ACCC laws here and are just deceptive."
"One of the most enjoyable, relaxing, and peaceful staycation I’ve ever experienced in a while. The host was attentive, the location was perfect, and the entire atmosphere was five star. "
"Our stay at Haydenblair House was a sheer delight.From cosy nights by the fire to breakfast on the veranda to the magnificent gardens we could not have asked for more.Brett was an attentive host, responding immediatly to any communication.Highly recommend it."
"2 bedroom apartments with comfy king beds in each room, The kitchen was well equipped for cooking and the staff were very friendly and helpful. An easy walk to Prinke for coffee. We would stay again. "

10/10 Excellent
"We had a family holiday with my adult brothers and mother, each with our own bedroom. The rental provided transfers, and had cars available for rent during our stay. The house had absolutely everything we needed - from picnic rug, game's, robes, essential condiments!"
"Staff were very helpful and friendly.
Room was a little stuffy.
Hot water was sometimes difficult to get working.
I was disappointed the weekly meet and greet advertised was not on because it was a quiet period. But thanks for the drinks voucher!"
