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.

The place is beautiful but very old. The villa we stayed in was beautiful but bathrooms weren't the cleanest and there were alot of bugs. I believe for the price I paid the least there could have been is coffee in the room. You give a full kitchen with no plates, glasses or mugs. Kitchen is kind of pointless. I was quite disappointed with the experience considering it was quite expensive.

Liked the vegetation. However, the facilities are horribly run down and not maintained. No restaurant on site, and had to pay for beach chairs that were in bad shape. Will not return nor recommend it.

Frenchman’s is simply a beautiful property, and we will certainly be visiting again. The room needs a bit of TLC, but that pales in comparison to the atmosphere is offers.

My stay at Frenchman cove was very unpleasant. I booked 2 villas for 3 nights., Whereas the grounds was very nice and well kept with the natural vegetation and flora … the villas were not well kept. Some of the furniture were so old.. the bathroom lighting was horrible. The Villa had a lot of cracks and spaces in the wood ceilings and windows. As a result, a lot of insects came in. The worst part of my stay however was getting up to rodent droppings all over the kitchen sink… microwave, fridge area and loud sounds of croaking lizards…. The management was kind enough to refund a nights stay but our experience was already damaged and we just could not enjoy even the last night. We Were very disappointed !!

The property looks as it it has not been renovated or upgraded in over 10 years, lights and fans did not work, sheets looked as if they have been on the bed for over a year and were hard and rough. The beds and seating area was not comfortable. The villa was away from everything and you would have a very long walk or you have to drive to get to the beach or the office. There was no one on the property after 5:30 to help. There was no working number to call and get to anyone in customer service. It was just terrible!!!

Facilities were shabby. No restaurant, no amenities, no wi-fi. no prior notification to bring your own water for drinking and access to the beach was denied as they closed the beach to their paying guests to accommodate a private affair. Very disappointing experience.

The beach was amazing but the property was very deserted. Maybe because of Covid. But there was nothing. No breakfast, no dinner. Only the Lunch at the small beach restaurant. I would recommend a daytrip to the Frenchman’s cove beach but not to stay at the resort.
