Loved the staff at this property and the unique rooms in the old buildings. Now, the name is misleading… hotel really doesn’t have anything SCUBA related and that was one of the reasons we chose it. No tanks, no scuba gear drying… the neighbouring dive shop does use the garden pool but with the lack of parking using that shop was not a good choice for use. Don’t get me wrong, LOVED Scuba Lodge but if you’re a diver and thinking they cater to divers given the name that is not the case. This could be fixed with drying bars (racks don’t work for heavy gear), on site gear lockers and tank depots. If you want personalized treatment, clean rooms, beautiful walkable location, AMAZING staff - this is the place.

We absolutely love Scuba Lodge! Have stayed here 2 times of our 3 visits to the island. The staff are awesome, the restaurant is delicious and the rooms are spectacular. I always have a lot of questions, etc and the communication from the front office is amazing. We have stayed in the 2 bedroom ocean view apartment twice, and it is one of the best rooms we've ever stayed in. We will always stay with them when we visit. I cannot say enough about the resort and the staff!

The staff here are AMAZING! Ok, night one termites hatched and our room had flying bugs. Ghislaine came to our room and moved us. Room 2 was beautiful but right on the street where construction crews arrived bright and early every morning and where restaurant patrons are basically 15 feet from your bed (outside on a patio not the room)… and they’re having a lovely time but have to talk over the sound of the generator (yep, neighbouring property only had generator power). Staff moved us to our third room of week one. None of these things were their fault and they were amazing coming up with solutions for us. This was a surprise 75th birthday trip. Family arrived week 2. Two standard rooms were changed to a 2 king in suite ocean front ground floor apartment. They moved my husband and I while we were away, got family in position, delivered food, a bday cake and decorated our room. It was truly a surprise and they pulled it off! I’d go back just for the way the staff treated us! The staff here is what make the property. The property is truly unique and delightfully small. The grounds are immaculate and beautiful. Housekeeping keeps everything neat and clean. The bedding is sparkling white. Ok. Of the 4 beds, only one had a good mattress… most were tired and should be replaced. Also, being an historic property there are signs of age which need to be addressed but when your staying in a building built in 1897 you shouldn’t expect brand new.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Scuba Lodge! Upon entry into reception we were treated like family. From reception staff, housekeeping and maintenance everyone was lovely. We loved our 2 bedroom apartment, which had two bathrooms, a half bath, washing machine and kitchen facilities. The area surrounding the Scuba Lodge is very walkable with many of bar and restaurants in the area, along with a restaurant and bar onsite. The bar and restaurant at the Scuba Lodge food and drinks were good. Service was slow and disorganized and needs to be more streamlined and attentive but worth the stop. We loved the Scuba Lodge and will be back.

Nice location close to shops and restaurants. The unit we had featured a full kitchen and living area as well as a lovely patio facing the ocean. The food at the restaurant was very good; however, the service was very slow so we only ate there twice for that reason. The unit had A/C in the bedrooms only, which was fine, but there are no screens on the windows, so by the end of our stay, we had some flying insects in the kitchen/living area. There is currently construction next door, which can be loud at times, and unfortunately, reduces the number of parking places on the street (obviously not the fault of the Scuba Lodge--just an annoyance at present).

Location is fabulous. Our housekeeper was wonderful. Restaurant service was terrible - Went for our welcome drink and also asked if we could eat (long day of travelling). They advised that they had no tables after 7 as they had all been reserved but as it was just before 5 we promised we would vacate in plenty of time for the later dinner crowds. We ordered our drinks and looked at menu. About 1/2 later our drinks arrived. We then waited ... no one came to us to see about an order. They were around us but ignoring. We did ask someone if we can order food but she said someone would come back. After much more time we just got up and left ... it was 6:30pm. Terrible service and we did not even attempt to eat there during our stay so could not say how the food is ( but did find lots of great restaurants are within walking distance). The hotel location is great. Parking on street never was an issue. The actual room is in need of some upgrades. Living room furniture was falling apart and we were told (with exuberance) that we were upgraded to a two bedroom suite. As it was just my hubby and I having two bedrooms was not an upgrade. A sea view would have been an upgrade. In our suite there was a bathroom/ laundry room right by the door. It was very mildewy and we kept the door closed the entire time and it could still be smelled when entering. Our bed was super comfortable. I font know if I would book there again or look at other spots in the same area.
