We booked in March for our upcoming thirtieth wedding anniversary on July 8. I wanted a small hotel with good snorkeling possibilities right off the beach. I started getting very excited and wanted to find out everything I could about the resort. Tripadvisor and YouTube were my places to scout. I found: Monday - Managers Cocktail Party Tuesday - Karaoke Wednesday - Garden Dinner / White Party Thursday - Mexican Night Friday - Beach Buffett / Mini Carnival Saturday - DJ I was most looking forward to the Garden Dinner and Beach Buffett Mini Carnival. We set off on July 5 at 4:00 AM after our flights with layovers we arrived at 6:20 PM. Our traveling day from Hell was finally over. We checked in our room set off to find something to eat and head off to bed. I thought it was strange to be in a hotel room with no windows. You heard me right NO WINDOWs - not in the room or bathroom, none. We were only located 10 steps from the quiet pool with the Tickled Turtle Bar. OK we take the good with the bad. When we got up the next morning headed to the Beach to claim a spot and find some breakfast. The Topaz Restaurant had a nice selection of foods, hot and tasty. for even the pickiest eater. The problem was the open-air restaurant was like eating in a bird sanctuary. Birds flying every which way trying to steal your food and let's not forget the "droppings" everywhere. We headed to the beach to check out the snorkeling, The beach is beautiful with gorgeous blue water. It felt like I stepped into a picture. While snorkeling I saw a lot of beautiful fish including trunk, parrot, and tangs while finding most of the coral to be bleached and dying. Water clarity was not good until you reached the reef that is just inside the open end of the bay. The next morning, I went to make reservations and found out that most of the nightly entertainment had been reduced to soundtracks with a singer. No Beach Buffett, no Mini Carnival, no steel drum bands. When I asked the reason, I was told "This is our off season and very low capacity of guests." I also then asked the hours and days of the Tickled Turtle Bar that was near to our room and again was told it is closed during the off season. To make this long story short and try to focus on the positives: We loved the Cafe' 1761 Coffee Shop and couldn't get enough of the Outhouse Restaurant up on the hill. Also booked an outing with Mr. G & Marvin to Stingray City I LOVED THAT! Every time I walked past the turtle enclosure, I took the time to stop and chat with the little guys and wish them a good day.

Just got back from 2 weeks at the pineapple resort .while we were there we celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary and my birthday we chose the pineapple after reading all of the reviews ie friendly staff always smiling nothing too much trouble I don't know what hotel those people stayed in but it wasn't mine . It felt we must have been the wrong nationality as the mighty dollar seems to rule here . We had a lovely beach front room but halfway through the first week we found we found we had a lodger living in our closet a venimous centipede which was quickly dispatched by Jacob our hero security guard .it. might be the fact the hotel will soon be closing for an update that caused some of the staff to be un responsive and less than welcoming . Food was repetitive but good always found something we liked .Overall we had a good time but looking at the new prices for the end of this year we will not be returning as we feel the hotel although as good as it is does not justify the cost Read less

This was our second visit to Pineapple Beach, having been there some 12 years ago. It's a pretty, well tended beach front resort and virtually all rooms have an ocean view. When we went there were a sufficient number of guests to make it sociable but never crowded, no queues for the pool, sunbeds, bar, restaurants, etc. The staff were really friendly and helpful and the food was of a very high standard throughout, mainly buffet service with a plentiful selection of items (I particularly enjoyed the pork loin, roast turkey and rump steak). We would definitely come back here again - it's a good, clean venue with airy and spacious rooms but without the 5 star price tag, However, do remember the "tourist tax" as you might get an unpleasant surprise at the end of your trip when you check out. I'd naively assumed that this had been included in the overall price of the holiday but I was wrong. At Pineapple Beach it works out at $18 per person per night so for two of us for 10 nights we ended up forking out $360 (£246) when we went to settle up. I don't know what would happen if you'd spent all your holiday money and didn't have a credit/debit card so please don't get caught out ! Read less

when ever i book a holiday i always read the reviews, but have never written one until now! we stayed in june for 11 nights, we wish we could of stayed longer, all the staff were friendly. The restaurants were good the buffet restaurant had lots of choice and they varied the menu,the roast meats were good. The coffee shop was a great addition it opens at 6.30am with a varied drinks menu, and a selection of cakes ,sandwiches and fresh fruit pots.the grounds were pristine, our room was beach front which was even better than we could of imagined. The beach was clean lovely white sand clear warm waters, like previous reviews sun beds werent an issue. weve stayed at a few carribean hotels we enjoyed our stay here and we would like to return because it was small friendly, clean, and very relaxing due to the thought that has been put into the guests overall stay with the nightly entertainment different pool areas seating areas coffee shop. Thank you to all the staff for a wonderful stay and lasting memories. Read less

Returned after 13 years and many changes in ownership. Overall. a great step forward. Yes, there are things that need improving, overall comfortable and relaxing for this price point. Great beach. Food is ok but not gourmet, as excepted. (You will not go hungry). Management is very responsive. Help can be inconsistent…some great, some as others have stated not so… This is the place where either you like it and keep coming back ( as many during our stay have) or are disappointed as you expected something else. Sorry but this is not Sandals… party place… If you are looking to relax …. good choice ! Read less
