“The perfect getaway”

This was our second visit to Stolen Time and it certainly will not be our last! The location is stunningly beautiful. The staff are attentive, professional and knowledgeable. The food is of a very high quality and coeliac-friendly, which we have found to be a rarity when travelling.

Stolen Time is a wonderful place to absolutely escape and switch off! After booking I realized the resort was previously couples only and was a little anxious about what to expect on a solo journey. The location is quite a drive from the international airport. However, it really is an oasis. On arrival I was greeted with a drink and cold towel and taken to my room. I had a garden view room which had a lovely balcony, stylish decor and really comfortable bedding. The resort has stunning grounds with many areas to relax, including a large central pool which had some renovations when I was staying and another tranquil pool with hidden water features, so there was always somewhere to find relaxation. The resort is also beachside with deckchairs and drink service so there are a myriad of options for relaxing and reading a book. The reason I booked was for the activities and I wasn't disappointed, I took multiple classes everyday including abs, yoga, tai chi in the sun, spin, archery, windsurfing and also botanical tour of the grounds, hiking and cycling. The cycling out of the resort was a little hairy as it involved mostly on a busy highway, so I'd be a bit mindful of this f you are an anxious rider! I was also able to book a tour to the Pitons via reception, which was very well planned and enjoyable. The food is amazing with three restaurants with great menus and consistently great food. The only slight area for improvement is the approach to single travelers. I travel regularly alone and I'm happy to dine by myself. However, the resort seems to guide the activities team to join solo travelers to dinner, which is a bit awkward. It may be better to have a "social table" where anyone who wants to socialize over meals, solo or with others can join. It's a small item, but one which could make dinner experiences more natural. Overall an absolutely brilliant experience with genuinely friendly team members, amazing activities and wonderful food and environment!

Stayed here before Christmas last year for the fourth time and now planning a fifth stay. This hotel is great for everyone in that you can choose to relax and be totally lazy while the amazing staff care for your every need or you can indulge in the huge range of activities offered. We have previously stayed in the Beachfront cottage, Poolside suite, the Premium Verandah and the Garden Rooms and have loved everyone of them. The staff here go out of there way to ensure you have the vacation of a lifetime. Great quality food and drinks are also always on offer. Have to shout out for Nelly and his incredible water sports team who really went the extra mile yet again to ensure some great water skiing days. Also enjoyed Tennis coaching and archery. So looking foward to next trip

The resort and scenery were lovely. There were some big pros but also some significant cons. Pros: The property is beautiful with well maintained grounds. We were upgraded to an ocean view room with a lovely balcony without having to ask, perhaps because they did not seem very busy. The food was very good and each dish listed whether it was nut or gluten or dairy free etc. There were always vegetarian options. The drinks were plentiful and delicious. The service was prompt and friendly. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was roomy with plenty of hot water and water pressure. There was a mini fridge, a safe, a hair dryer and an umbrella already in the room. The resort is very quiet. They do seem to primarily have an over 50 clientele. The cons: Not that this was the fault of the resort but the weather was HOT, in the upper 80s and 90s with very high humidity and there were no communal areas available during the day that were air conditioned so if you wanted to chat with others you were in the heat or in the pool. There was no TV in our room and no TVs on the property. Not necessarily a bad thing, but when it is hot, you might want to be in your room with a TV. The 3 restaurants are not all open every night. Only 1, The Terrance, is open for a buffet style breakfast daily, and I think some days only The Terrance was open for lunch. So every day, breakfast and lunch will be in the heat. Not so bad for breakfast, but lunch was often quite hot. The upscale restaurant, only open for dinner and not open every night, has a significant up-charge for premium entrees like steak or lobster. I went for the lobster my last night. It was good but not great and cost $70US. The room was, in my opinion, quite chilly and adjusting the "thermostat" did not change the temperature. The evening entertainment was quite sedate. There was a gentleman playing piano in the piano lounge which was nice but very quite, not a sing-along or dance environment. There were two evenings we had someone singing along to pre-recorded music and one night a few people were dancing. One night there was a casino night listed on the events board but when the time came it did not materialize and we were told it was written on the board by mistake. The tours and off site activities booked through the resort seemed quite expensive. I took the scuba class but when it came time to practice our skills I'm the ocean the boat to take us out was broken/not working. Scuba was only available Monday Wednesday and Friday mornings and as Monday morning was the only morning I was at the resort (stayed Fri to Tuesday) I was not able to go at all. I asked if we could scuba more in the pool to continue to get a feel for it but was told the equipment was already at the dock. And this is only by report from other guests, but a couple of folks complained of clogged drains and mosquitoes in their rooms. (The mosquitoes were also vicious on pur ziplining trip) Falling in to the category of inconvenient: a cab to get anywhere on the island was quite expensive. It was $80US round trip to get to the sister resort 7 miles away and there was no shuttle service. Overall I would say that I would not go back to this resort and would not recommend it unless you want to have a VERY quiet vacation.
