My stay at Ellen Bay was very relaxing. I came to the property when everyone else was leaving which made my stay peaceful. Food can be made to order on property which was super convenient and affordable, all you have to do is order ahead. Transportation was available for an extra fee from the airport and that driver ended up being my driver for the duration of my stay (I appreciate you Trevor). Staff is super friendly and the property is located less than 5 minutes walk to the sting ray excursion which is discounted if you're staying at this property along with the turtle excursion which I missed out on. Super affordable if you're in a budget.

Property is quaint, great food offered for breakfast and be certain you know if you will be eating dinner there by 4 to place order, otherwise you may not have the opportunity. Smoking is allowed anywhere (not in rooms)on the property so be prepared if you’re not a smoker. If you’re driving, parking and streets around property are very rough. Hosts and chef are so sweet and very helpful. Location is amazing to walking to stingray village and short drive to amazing beaches w bars. USD was widely accepted. Local market and eatery around corner from property too that was a fun local vibe.

We have only good things to say about Ellen Bay Inn. It offers personal, local accommodation. The owners are friendly, and accommodating. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are available if you are wanting to eat there. The food was local Caribbean food and very good. The property is pet friendly and we were able to walk our dog in the neighbourhood. Ellen Bay Inn does have an airport shuttle which is very handy and well priced. We had a nice overnight stay there in transit to another island and hope to stay at Ellen Bay Inn again next year.

We booked Ellen’s Bay Inn because we wanted to be close to the Stingray City tour operator. It is within walking distance. Judith and sister Sharon were gracious and helpful in providing information, recommendations for local sight seeing opportunities and the perfect ambience in an Inn that is more like being welcomed into their home. They provided us with an excellent breakfast and dinner fare that was on par to any exclusive restaurant on the island. They attended to all of our needs, as guests. Both harvested lemongrass from their garden and crafted excellent lemongrass teas for us. So often we believe it’s the destination and not the people that we meet along the way. This journey was enriched by our stay there.

A good place to spend the night

We spent a night there, and despite being simple, it really helped us. The owner received us in a very friendly way and although it was a little bit late, she was very kind and prepared us something to eat. The air conditioner was already on in our bedroom and the bedding and the room were totally clean. The bedroom has a nice space and there were two double beds. Regarding the location, it's far from downtown, and if you're looking for restaurants/ cafeterias, they aren't around. Breakfast is available.

This was a mistake. Wont return. No service whatsoever on Christmas day. Not even a bottle of water was offered and they fully well knew that a guest was arriving as they left the door open with keys Inside. Nothing was open in the area nor was the cafe open. It was christmas day, what a way to share a happy cheerful welcome. The bathroom had nothing in it but toilet paper and liquid hand soap. The shower glass wall had a massive crack and someone thought it was smart to use paint and draw over the crack in a shameful attempt to hide this.

Too distant and disconnected for me.

The place is remote and nestled within what appears to be a residential area. Without maps, it would be difficult to find. There was no one at the office upon arrival. No instructions were provided on what to do to check in. I had to ask a neighbor to contact the number on the door. We waited for someone to show up. Wifi was weak. Room was clean and tidy.

Booking in on arrival was slow. We were not expected despite notifying them of our arrival time. Demand was made for payment even though we had paid one month before when booking. No apology when they discovered our payment. All-day breakfast turned out to be just sausage and egg even though we had ordered mushrooms and baked beans as well..! The worst breakfast we have encountered on our holiday so far - sloppy and broken eggs. No restaurant service available in the evening. Poor water pressure in the shower. Dirty windows. Nowhere to hang wet towels and swimming costumes. Woken up during the night by the noise of the water-pump situated behind our room. Nicely lit terrace area in the evenings. Overall we would NOT recommend this property.

Coût des repas plutôt élevés. Déjeuner continental "inclus" mais en 7 nuitées, je lai eu 3 fois. 2 matins il y avait rien et les 2 autres On m'a fait part que le dejeuner d'aujourd'hui était des oeufs/ bacon ou "french toasts "... Pour ensuite me les faire payer lors du check out.. C'est un peu insultant entre choisir de ne pas manger ou payer ce qui devait être inclus... Confort de la chambre correct Par contre, il pourrait y avoir une 2e couverture plutôt que juste un drap, ça serait un gros plus! :-) Ménage de la chambre minimum, sans que ce soit un ménage complet quotidien, il serait bien de passer aux 2 ou 3 jours pour vider les poubelles et changer les serviettes. (suggestion) plutôt que de passer après 5 jours. sinon, emplacement loin de tout mais tranquille et agréable, Wifi performant, espaces de stationnement suffisant lors de mon passage, cuisinier sympatique. Chambre suffisamment grande et quand même en bon état pour une période post-pandémique où l'absence de touriste à dû affecté durant plus de 2 ans.
