    We had a late flight in. I like that Mr. Clive made a commitment to wait up for my daughters and I. He arranged with Mr. Mike to pick us up. We slept well. Mr. Mike waited for us the next morning. Breakfast was ok.

    It is difficult to move around without your own car, so consider taxi expenses if you don’t drive.

    The property is cosy, the staff very kind and helpful. Room has AC and hot water.

    I picked this hotel as I had to catch the Knutsford express the next morning to go to aport Antonio. They didn't have a chef/ cook during my stay, as she hurt herself whilst cooking Having a stand in chef would have been nice. I had to take a $40 taxi to going town for my dinner, so it kind of blew my budget and defeated the whole purpose of staying and eating within the premises. As a solo female traveler, there's a rough bunch our there and I understand people are impoverished here, do it was a case of fendng off unwarranted male energy. All in all, if they didn't have a kitchen, I wouldn't stay there

    It's a quaint B@B., with old school vibes. Views from the balcony have you partial sea view.

    I was a little disappointed that we could not get a late checkout, I was willing to pay the charges but was told the place was very busy and booked, so just have to understand that policy. I travelled for work with my spouse and wanted him to relax in the room until I completed work, so he ended up having to come awork with me. Sugar at the tea station in the room would be a plus for local guests. A a minor thing was that the ceiling fan and the light in the ceiling fan had one switch, so it meant that each time the fan is on the light is also on, not all guests love the AC units.

    The Blue Orchid was a very good stay, it was conveniently located to the town, airport and the area where I had to go to work. The room was clean, had a coffee station, hairdryer, fridge, microwave. The bathroom had a LED mirror with bluetooth that you could play music from, it was relaxing while showering. The young gentleman who welcomed us at the front desk was nice, and the senior staff that escorted us to our room ensured we were satisfied with the room itself. The lovely female staff who prepared our complimentary continental breakfast was pleasant. All in all a great experience.

    Small portion for meals More variety for the continental breakfast

    I appreciated the location close to the airport Staff extremely friendly My flight was delayed approx 4 hrs from Canada, Davion ensure I was picked up ASAP by Hawes (security). This made me feel valued. Both Davion and Hawes ensured my arrival and check in at the Blue Orchid was satisfactory. Housekeeping staff Simone and Delva check in on me regularly. I met the other security personnel Philip on my final night, he frequently asked if I was doing well and needed any assistance. I observed Philip frequently walking around the property to ensure safety for all on the property.

    The phone number on the Booking.com site was wrong so I could not get ahold of the Blue Orchid to get a transport from the airport. I had to walk to the Blue Orchid from the airport. The beds and bathroom were clean but the rest of the place could have been cleaner. The pool was not heated.

    The bed was clean and comfortable. The food was excellent. The shower was nice.

    They do use solar water heat. It generally works great and is great for the environment but on a cloudy day like we had showers are a bit brisk. But we would stay again so it was not that bad.

    Very very helpful staff and they were able to take us to the airport the next morning which was very important to us. Room was clean and very comfortable for our one night stay.
