Perfect loacation on orient bay

This was our 7th stay on orient bay...our first at Alamanda. Loved the location, the staff, everything! We originally bked. 2nd floor oceanview deluxe room. Didn't realize it was a bit of a walk for my husband, who uses a cane nd occasional walker to get around. But it was ok. Unfortunately, the tv in our room wasn't working right. They tried to fix it, but the cable wouldn't respond. We were offered another room in the same wing...or knowing my husband had trouble walking, offered us a suite on the first floor. While it did t have the view the original room had, it had everything else! We love it and felt quite spoiled, to,the point that we will try to rent that suite when we return in April. As a side note, every member of the alamanda team was friendly, helpful and professional. We look forward to our next visit!

Great Location!

We had a great stay at the Alamanda. The location is ideal. It's about 1/2 way up Orient Beach and probably the closest hotel to the actual beach. It's a very short walk to amazing restaurants and all of the beach restaurants. The resort is a bit dated, but quite comfortable and clean. Everyone there is very nice and helpful. We had a very small kitchenette area that we used each day to make our own breakfast and to keep some snacks cold in the fridge. The bathroom is clean and spacious enough. The only issue we had was that the tub for the shower is quite narrow and high off the ground. Turning around in it was a bit of a challenge. We checked out several of the local hotels and decided that when we return, we'll select the Alamanda again. It really is great on many levels. Hopefully, we'll return soon!

Outstanding location

Alamanda is adjacent to the Orient bay village shops and restaurants, and a very short stroll to the beach and its clubs and amenities. So it is ideally located. Parking is convenient, staff is helpful and friendly. Room and grounds were lovely. A spacious family duplex was ideal for two adults and 2 kids. My family will definitely return.

Stay away!!

To start this off, I just have to make it known I travel a lot! To be conservative about 250 days at least a year. This place is one of the worst! Everyone at the hotel wants a tip and makes it known. At check in the desk person walks me to the room and shows me how to operate the door then goes around and explains how to turn on the AC and the TV and then walks me around the room and then shows me where the bathroom was. Let me tell you everything worked like anywhere else I've been! Floors were dirty and sand all over (including in the bed) at check in. Found 2 obviously used towels which I only found 3 to begin with and when I found a cleaning person she put her hand out for a tip. Continental breakfast was completely European so don't expect much and add on we're way over priced. The bed was a door on a bed frame with 3 bricks for pillows and the bed frame made so much noise every time you moved that it literally woke you up. Free internet but you barely could use it, I couldn't even check my schedule and it's just text! Not to mention that at mid night they turned it off. Oh yeah and no screens on any of the windows so if you don't mind hearing mosquitoes flying around the room between being uncomfortable.

Location

Right across from a beautiful beach. Eating lunch on the beach was easy because we were able to charge our room. Located beside lots of restaurants, small grocery store, and shops. Staff was friendly. Only negative was the tiny mosquitos that ate us up, however we will be returning in July.

This was our fourth visit to Orient Bay and our second visit to l'Alamande. When we return we will go to l'Alamande again. We do not have a single complaint about the hotel. It meets our needs exactly...small quiet hotel ...comfortable, spacious rooms with kitchenette....large clean pool...light breakfast....easy access to a very active beach.....several great dining experiences at your door.

Nice hotel in great spot for beach, restaurants.

Quiet, boutique feel…nothing fancy, which is a plus if you're looking to get away from crowds & mega resorts. Good breakfast, included in price. Steps from the beach. Staff is always helpful. Pool is always pristine. Dependable wifi. The only negative is ever having to leave & of course, missing sunset from this side of the island (but you can get a car at front desk!). We return to Alamanda year after year for a reason…it's comfortable and convenient for us and a 25 minute ride from the airport.

Alamanda guest return year after year!

We have been staying at the Alamanda for the last 5 or 6 years. And we're not the only ones. Each year, like us, people we have met in previous years return to the hotel. One reason is the staff. An indication of the quality of a place is that it retains its staff. Each year we reconnect with the folks who serve the (yummy) continental breakfast, the desk clerks and the housekeepers. Alamanda has a terrific location - a short walk to the beach. Also, the little village where the hotel is located is just a short walk away. The village has 7 or 8 restaurants so you don't have to drive anywhere to enjoy an excellent dinner. The restaurants seem to improve every year. The rooms are spacious with a small table and chairs if you want to enjoy a meal or snack in your room while you look at the pool or the ocean.

Nice and clean hotel near the beach

I experienced a nice smaller hotel adjacent to the beach and a 2 minute walk to several very good French Restaurants and shopping. The location alone sells this place. The hotel itself is a very clean and well run. We experienced a great little complimentary continental breakfast each morning poolside, a couple days we did order off the menu and it was really good. No need to look for staff if you need something, the staff is all around and very pleasant to talk to. They make you feel at home. The hotel itself is very clean and better than most beach hotels on the French side. Spent 9 days here and had no problems or issues at all.

Near perfect hotel with 2 problems

The hotel is right on Orient beach with a beautiful garden and a swimming pool. You get sunbeds and umbrellas for free (fresh towels everyday) either at the pool or at the beach. The free continental breakfast is nothing special, but the optional extras are sort of inexpensive and delicious. Staff are very kind, polite and always helpful! The hotel room is spacious and very clean! Interior was amazing, beds comfortable although rooms lack proper wifi signal, let alone speed. You only get proper signal by the pool and the speed is insufficient for the number of guests. You get better wifi at other hotels on the island... The biggest downside is the noise you get from your neighbor rooms. Every room can be joined together by its neighbor room for larger parties but the doors separating don't have soundproofing or insulation. You can hear EVERY conversation, TV, or even see the light on the other side if your room is dark. This was a major problem for us, and I imagine would be for everyone too. Aside from this, the place is near perfect! A shame because both the wifi and this could be solved at such a small expense.

Great hotel, tasty breakfast, nice swimming pool.

We got a nice duplex room with two double-beds, private terrace/balcony with the ocean view. Free continental breakfast. The resort was not crowded when we visited the week before Christmas. Close to the beach. Free umbrellas and chairs at Cacao Beach. Tasty food at variety of French, Italian, Thai restaurants at the adjacent village court. There are grocery stores to buy food and beach cafes to get drinks, snacks and lunches. Our room had a kitchenette with microwave, dishes, glasses, silverware and fridge. Large bottle of water was a nice welcome gift after a long flight and a taxi ride from the airport. Thank you.
