We had a very enjoyable time at the hotel. The property is beautiful and the staff was generally very friendly. But we couldn't use our balcony most of the stay because of wasps and the lack of vegetarian food options was frustrating.
7 nights, 7/27-8/3
Beautiful property with tons of staff issues. Due to poor maintenance of the palm trees by the pool I was hurt by a very heavy palm (10+lbs) that hit me in the head after falling 30+ feet. We used to live In the Bahamas, and had our lower palm branches removed for safety. But not at the Orchid! And our room door key locked us in the hallway 4 nights in a row…and service to fix it was terrible! After day 2 the front deck said to call from a hall phone…which we did on day 3 and got …VOICEMAIL! Not helpful when locked out. The issue…the battery in the door needed replacing…so again…a maintenance issue.

Location was amazing, including the grounds and beach. Hotel and restaurant staff were great. Yoga class by the beach was nice. Our room had a musty/mildewy smell. Food options were limited. Very disappointed that there were no options for purchasing food in the later evening. And the room only had a mildly cool fridge as a "beverage cooler". So could not store refrigerated food or leftovers either.

The resort had everything we needed for a relaxing, varied stay. We didn’t even hire a car we could walk everywhere we needed to.

Been coming her for years with the whole family!! Great for all ages.
Layout of resort was perfect, everything was within a decent walking distance. Service was EXCELLENT - friendly and helpful staff, always making sure we were comfortable. The entire grounds were absolutely BEAUTIFUL!
Charged for ocean view room, when no view of ocean
Overall a good experience understanding it was probably family summer/vacation time (avoided the pool completely). Check-in reception (Maria) was welcoming and accommodating. Guest room was clean and always-friendly housekeeping kept fresh towels/amenities fully supplied. Dining/beverage options were satisfying, especially when organizing a large family dinner at Brown's Beach House (with a special catering request). Of note, staff in general were friendly and professional, but could be improved in consistency (eg. greeting the guests as they pass by, this was more of a hit-and-miss). Also, there should be more routine checks for removal of unsightly trash (a disposed face mask was left on the lawn for 4 days before someone removed it), dining trays, and even odd clothing being left on the floor of the hallways & lobby buildings (and don't get me started on guests who drape their colorful beach towels on their balcony railings). A highlight to our stay was the spa and their whole staff - best message in a long time by Merlin. The 24/7 gym was a plus.
