I’ve just completed my third visit to Round Hill, and each time is better than the last.
What makes Round Hill so good? First, it’s a throwback to a time when Caribbean resorts didn’t need waterslides, casinos, and music blaring until all hours to attract guests. Round Hill is solid in both service and facilities. I travel the Caribbean extensively and have found good service on many islands, but Round Hill’s staff and management are absolutely the best. Every staff member brings a smile, a “hello,” and sincerely asks how your stay is going, waiting for your response and an opportunity to lend a hand if needed.
Second, the property is gorgeous. Manicured lawns and gardens, brilliant white structures with classis green and white awnings, and “clean beyond clean.” The facilities are just right – nicely-appointed rooms in the hotel section, an open and inviting lobby, library stocked with books in many languages, the “Pineapple Room” for casual conversations and gatherings in the ample air conditioning, comfortable seating, and in front of what I believe is the resort’s only TV in case there’s a show you just have to watch. Options for casual dining or formal dining, and a Ralph Lauren-designed bar for sipping and light bites. Lots of outdoor seating.
Third, great-service and relaxing services at the onsite spa, with its own private “adults only” beach.
And not to be left out, the recreation and watersports. There’s a beautiful infinity pool, inviting and calm beach, glass-bottom boat tours, and other activities to be enjoyed.
Our first visit was a multi-night stay in one of the resort’s villas, complete with chef, housekeeper, and butler, and our own pool. Truly the “lap of luxury.” Our second and third visits were to the hotel, with very comfortable beds, ample AC, fast Wi-Fi, upscale bath amenities, in-room French press coffee, refrigerator, and seating area. And thankfully, no TV!
Round Hill has become our favorite destination in the Caribbean, and we look forward to coming back often. You won’t be disappointed.
