Colleen

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Very decent for the price but in a residential area and not very convenient to restaurants within walking distance. No coffee/tea or any snacks of any kind. The market nearby had limited provisions for single use. No elevator, but reception was helpful getting my big suitcase up the stairs to 2nd level. Big one- bedroom suite. AC in bedroom struggled to cool living room.

Great pre/post Cruise hotel

The hotel was great. Pool was much appreciated. Great local breakfast place within a 2 minute walk and full service, great food restaurant within 7 minute walk, however no sidewalks and sometimes lots of traffic on road to restaurants. Hotel was clean, well kept and staff very friendly and helpful in arranging tours of the island. You can walk to Divi Beach, but not pleasant - too hot and again no sidewalks and takes more than 20 minutes to get there if you don’t take a wrong turn in the roundabout! But for the price, L’Esperance was well worth it especially pre or post cruise, where you will be doing all your beach lounging at your island destinations.
