The hotel does a number of things well. The rooms are decent, the staff friendly, and they have a fairly nice beach area (for this island). They also did nice job at keeping things clean. Unfortunately, they seemed to miss on a number of small things. My biggest gripe is that they charge their guests extra for booking trips (virtually every hotel in the world is happy with the tour operator's referral fee). Do yourself a favor and BOOK YOUR ACTIVITIES DIRECTLY WITH THE TOUR OPERATOR IN TOWN. This one cost me an extra $50 (US).
Another gripe is that there is no real good way to get to town for dinner / nightlife. A water taxi exists, but its $16/person RT. When coupled with 'island prices,' it makes an evening out quite expense. t would be nice if they offered even a single boat run into town, say out at 6:00 and return at 9:00. I should mention that they also rent bicycles, but those bikes are very poorly maintained.
Another grip is that they do not have any hooks in the rooms. People come here to dive. Divers are going to have to rinse out their wetsuits, swimsuits, etc and then try them out. Give them a place to do it.
Yea, nitpicks all, but there are dozens of basically identical hotels along the beach.
Couldn't ask for anything better

This resort has the best service I've ever recieved. We were intending to get married at another location, but as soon as I saw the resort, I quickly changed my mind. We decided for sure about a day before the actual wedding and somehow the staff at Journey's End put together the most beautiful wedding I could imagine within 24 hours. They came up with the bouquet, the dinner, the menu, everything. They even decorated the area with palm leaves and flowers and a beautiful arch. I did absolutely nothing but hear what they had planned and say "sounds great to me". I just couldn't believe what they did for us in such short notice. The staff stood at a respectable distance away and watched. Everyone that worked there knew who we were and congratulated us. They met my guests at the airport and escorted them to the hotel where they were greeted at the dock with rum punch. Unbelieveable.
Becuase of the service of kindness of their staff, my husband and I will be returning. It's a beautiful scene that's only rivaled by it's service. I wholeheartedly reccomend this hotel to anyone looking for a queit, quaint, and beautiful experience.
Do not stay here!

This is advertised as a 4 star hotel and is more like a 2 star hotel. The location from town is too far with only transportation by water taxi (not free) or bike through difficult, unsafe pathways. No phone or tv in the rooms. Traveling during hurricane season is a bad idea since information is difficult to get by with only one phone on the resort for all guests and without tv or internet available. Swimming in the ocean is impossible due to debris. Overall I was unhappy with service and would not recommend to stay here.
Amazing

The Staff was amazing. They booked all of our activities for us, arranged flights, taxi's, etc. The Presentation of the food and LUNA was great. They will often times even cook anything you catch. The room was nice and cozy. They grounds were kept up daily.
