2nd visit to Mandela Court. We actually stayed here a month ago when moving our student in to SGU. It's a 7 minute car ride and the campus bus runs nearby. The location is amazing, quiet, and private. Prices are comparable to nearby resorts with better white glove, personal service and made to order food. The staff communicates with you directly with an app and all you have to do is ask and they will provide! Lovely pool, attentive staff, and a beautiful private easy to traverse road. All the rooms are apartments! Spacious and plenty of room to relax on the couch and look out off the balcony. It makes it easy for us to visit with our SGU student and when the whole family comes for a visit, there is a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom option as well. LOVE THIS PLACE. We will stay here every time we visit!

Un hotel molto caldo e confortevole. Si vede che ogni angolo è stato studiato con cura e tante piccole cose aspettano che gli ospiti le scoprano. Anche i ristoranti a Linhai sono buoni, il personale Shawnte è molto buono, mi piace molto il cibo che consiglia?

What started as a lovely stay at the very highly rated Siesta Hotel, only turned to a nightmare soon after we entered our room. So here’s the list. You have to climb an extremely steep (paved) hill to get to our accommodations. No less than 100m at 14% grade. This, without a cart or vehicle. Then three flights of stairs. That doesn’t bode well for those like myself who have had two hip replacements. That was the least of it. TV didn’t work in the main room. The TV in the bedroom was PPV only. We went to the grocery store to get some food to cook for ourselves as this is advertised as a kitchenette…Except the oven doesn’t work and it will be “tomorrow” before we could get someone to look at it. So sorry for the inconvenience. He did come by. Great guy. Said it needed a new element. Ok. Gonna be a few days. I asked if I could simply go to another room to prepare the pizza and was told they are fully booked. There is no possibility of that being true. They MAY be 1/4 booked. And that’s a stretch. If they are completely booked, the people in their rooms have slept for days without coming outside. No one at the pool. No one at the restaurant. No one walking around the property. But they are fully booked. 👀 The window in the main room has no curtain with complete view to the inside of the room…especially after dark. The window in the bathroom is the same. The room comes with two beautiful balconies. That would be great if it was not for the AC unit fan installed on the deck which creates heat, dripping water, and noise. If you want to enjoy the view, do so from inside with the sliding glass door closed. The exterior door only has a standard door knob lock. No deadbolt for extra security. Did they even think this through? Could not possibly be more disappointed in this property, its staff at the time of our stay, and the management. Serious consideration was given to moving to another location altogether. Had we not already paid for the two night stay, we would have. All in all, we made the best of an absolutely pitiful situation. Cheers.

This well laid out hotel with accommodation on either side of public eating and entry areas. Everything basically faces towards the magnificent Grand Anse Beach giving views over the water to St George's. There can be few better gardens in the entire Caribbean than those that spread across the accommodation. The meet and greet was first class. We were in rooms 51 and 23, both having plunge pools in their private gardens. Room 23 was larger, with a private fully stocked bar, a very comfortable fully king sized bed, spotlessly presented and upkept by the team. The bar team was brilliant, fronted by Dexter with the likes of the ever happy Jeron and Kevin. Seriously good guys. The breakfast was a joy with beautiful fresh fruit, yoghurt, cereals etc and if you wanted, a good variety of hot dishes. Lunch and dinner were quite different with perhaps lunch providing more local dishes. Do try the Goat Roti if available. The serving teams were in the main most helpful and even smiled at their guest's poor jokes! Whilst the food from the kitchen could take time, the upside was it felt freshly cooked. If not enjoyed, it was sent back, and senior staff would come out afterwards asking what went wrong and how could they rectify. The concierge headed by Elizabeth, went way beyond being just helpful, she basically enabled our holiday. She organised everything off site, including a historic walking tour to St George's, a food tour across the island which included stopping for fresh coconut, snow cones, together with lunch and snacks etc. There is a barbecue but with the best will in the world the food is much better at the hotel. We tried several restaurants, and our preferences were 'Sails' overlooking the water, 'Dexter's' (the ex-Calabash chef's home) and Calabash itself, a totally different experience to Spice Island. If I have left anything out, forgive me. This is a most delightful hotel well worthy of five stars, giving the most relaxing times under a constant 25 to 30 degrees of heat. will we be visiting again? Yes.
