Five Islands Village Hotels, St. John's

"Although a little dated, it was very clean and the staff were very helpful and nice. Only a 4 star rating due to the food quality. I mostly lived off cheese, bread and fruit."

"A lovely tranquil setting with spacious rooms and private terrace with pool. It’s very remote so best to hire a car so you have the flexibility to get out and explore the island. The team are super friendly and efficient and go out of their way to accommodate your requests. The lovely beach is a short walk away and is much nicer to relax at than the pool which can get quite busy. Where it does not excel is the food as some options were quite bland and portion sizes could be hit and miss (plenty for one meal and rather small for another) with the quality of ingredients not always being that great. Aside from that we had a great stay and would recommend as long as you book knowing the location and limitations on the food."

"Unfortunately the seaweed was in the water and we did not have access to the beach and had to use the bay which has murky water. Rooms need updating. The staff was phenomenal and the food was good. Extremely difficult getting reservations at the restaurants. "

"Good"

"Plenty of pool and beach seating, it is a solid 3 star resort, nothing bougie- but my husband and I had an amazing time! Food is good, beach is clean and gorgeous. Our one complaint is the fluctuations of the shower temperature while showering, sometimes it stayed warm but sometimes it went to cold then hot. Sometimes it’s hard to get new towels too, but for the price we managed. We stayed in a standard king room."

"AC was perfect, shops nearby, staff was friendly and welcoming, housekeeping was perfect."

"The pool and ocean view were the highlights of the property. The food was average at best. The location was somewhat isolated, you had to take a cab to go off site to eat other that Mama Mia's which was next door and decent. The front desk and cleaning staff were outstanding. The restaurant and bar staff were not as friendly. We did not do the all-inclusive but did eat at the restaurant a couple times and went to the pool bar a couple times. Each time at the bar the bartender tried to add things to the bill that we did not order, so beware and review your bill carefully. In addition the second time we ate lunch the waiter brought a bill that wasn't ours for us to pay. Once again, pay attention to your bills. Overall, the location was beautiful and the facilities, pool chairs, etc were nice. Food not great and location a little isolated if you are planning to do things off site, like eating out and shopping, etc. but overall we had a nice stay. "

"The ocean front suite was extremely clean and spacious. The bathrooms were very modern. The gym was very well outfitted and both pools were beautiful. The access to Prickly Pear island was a very nice feature of the property. "

"Old but clean room. Good amenities. "
