The dated decor which are in shambles made our trip precarious for good reason. The sliding doors which lead outdoors cannot be closed properly posing a security risk.

It was a good experience. This property had lots of potential and we are glad we went. However, we knew to expect a less updated version of what it used to be . The villa definitely needs some upgrading. The faucet in the kitchen barely had any water and the whole property needed a good power wash on the outside. The views were amazing but there was lots of overgrown greenery. The privacy was priceless and it was wonderful to have the beach to ourselves in the morning. I was on the understanding that they have been renovatong for a while, but the property doesnot reflect it. Once renovations are actually done we would gladly return. The place has a special magic that we truly appreciated.

Please read this review before booking. The grounds & beach are AMAZING! 10/10 absolutely recommend! The accommodations on the other hand are TERRIBLE! 0/10 do not recommend. I booked the property for the grounds and proximity to the beach. I understand that the villas are rustic but they did NOT provide a basic standard of clean for my stay. If you have respiratory conditions, do NOT book here. They villas are not deep cleaned nor aired out. Customer service is also nonexistent. I expressed my concerns about the cleanliness and they didn’t even attempt to have someone come to clean it. Book another property and pay the entrance fee to access the beach.

We love the area! It is quiet and very peaceful. The beach and river are amazing! They do need to put some work into the villas as they are very out dated, the patio doors don’t lock properly and the louvered windows are missing glass in some areas. Overall, we had a lovely time!

This place has certainly gone down hill like a horror movie from the 70s scene dated furniture blood on curtain splatters from misquote swatting along with greece stains the bathroom had rusty facutes with missing cover plates oxidation on the door handles bathroom mixed matched tiles. Great location but this place needs a serious overall bottom line.For a big property like this it should have more amenities such as a pool and decent restaurant

I loved the beach. When I booked this property I asked Rashida for RECENT PICTURES, she responded via WhatsApp that the pictures on the website were the pictures of the rooms. We landed at Norman Manley at 12:30pm, picked up our rental car by 1:30pm and was on our way to Frenchmens Cove. We did not arrive until 8:30pm. It is a good idea to inform your guests that major construction is in progress and so do not drive the St. Thomas route. Upon arrival the Security handed us an envelope with a key and we proceeded to the room, unit 14. We could not believe how dated and unclean the place looked. In the envelope was a document which stated that we should take our toiletries, no food would be served, etc...Great time to tell your guests upon arrival. I appreciate the two tiny bar soaps and towel we received. Only two of the towels could be used, the white towels, face rag and shower rags were stained. There was no attempt to replace the towels or clean the room for the duration of our stay. We paid a premium cost for a very poor quality accommodation with no service. We had every opportunity to book elsewhere and visit the beach if we wished. We choose to book with Frenchman's cove because the Website suggested that the amenities were good. Certainly not a good value for money. We are very easy to please, not a prima dona at all but the room made us very uncomfortable.

The cottage was great and the overall property was green and eco friendly. However, the small 'garden' area at the back of the cottage facing the sea, needs attention and maintenance.
