Cliff Bay is a fantastic hotel, with the most amazing views. Staff were excellent, from the moment we walked in to the moment we left they couldn’t do enough for you. Spotlessly clean hotel with great facilities. Really lovely 4 night stay .Only slight downside is that the air conditioning could be a bit colder .

We had an absolutely outstanding stay! Our room had the most outstanding view of the bay and the staff were always extremely polite, kind and professional. The ocean and pool area was very stunning and there was always a chair available. The restaurants were second to none and the spa was very relaxing. The excursions suggested by the hotel made our visit magical! We will certainly return.
