Tensing PEN

Without question, I believe the best option available, from arrival to departure you are surrounded by a staff that only cares about your happiness, accommodations are fabulous and the atmosphere cannot be beat !!!!!

At first glance, I wanst sure about Tensing Pen. It is unassuming and not fancy at all. By the afternoon, I was totally in love, at home and enjoying every second of our trip. The staff are like family, the rooms, even though old school in decor are so cozy and large. I loved the Jamaican coffee and real coffee pot and really anything we needed was brought straight to us. The resort has a vibe..it's hard to explain, but you truly never want to leave. I think it is one of the most relaxing trips I have ever had and we cannot wait to go back. It's surrounds are stunning and we loved the dogs that came and sunbathed next to us. It really is a magical place. Don't go if you are a workout freak as there is no place to exercise other than swimming in the sea or paddling a kayak. I loved the casual vibe here. It was just what we needed to rejuvenate in the middle of winter. The massages were to die for and being in the open spa looking at the water and feeling the breezes was heavenly. Thank you to Paul and Racin who took care of us at the pool, thank you to all the wonderful servers in The Lodge, especially Splinter and Caileen, Razor, Sophia & Randall. We will see you next year!

Amazing on every level. We’ll be back! People, vibe, bridge, water, cottages, food. Sunsets! Perfect. Thank you!!!! …,.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,……………………………………………………. Thank you!!!

Wonderful resort! Staff is attentive, rooms are spacious and comfortable with amazing views. Great location with nearby bars and restaurants. Overall we had a great time and look forward to going back.

We recently stayed at Tensing Pen for a few nights. STAFF All the staff made us feel extremely welcome and were always on hand to help. Big respect and mention to Caleen, Sofia Damien and Razor 🙏🏼 . The life guards Paul, Nickoy were genuinely attentive and also very helpful. FOOD and Drink Food was outstanding and the homemade bread rolls melted in your mouth. We had the complimentary breakfast most mornings which was more than adequate with fresh fruit, banana bread, cereal and outstanding coffee! We had poached eggs one morning and again we can’t fault the food quality. Coffee was available at the restaurant 24/7 but we did miss being able to make a coffee in our room. Loved, LOVED the reggae music all day in the restaurant!!!! ACTIVITIES Unfortunately, the weather was quite choppy when we were there so didn’t get to snorkel as we had hoped. However, we thoroughly enjoyed watching the catamarans as they passed by on their way to Ricks. ROOM We stayed in Rock Cottage 2 which had a great view and a beautiful verandah to enjoy the peace and quiet. The bed was very comfortable, AC great and a fridge to put chilled drinks in. Bathroom was more than adequate however the shower was a little fiddly to turn on with an adequate water pressure-. Towels were changed every day. Again it would have been nice to have water and coffee nearer to hand. We did struggle with the sun loungers and found them very uncomfortable after 30mins. Even though I’m allergic to dogs, the dogs are extremely well behaved and only approach if you encourage them. SUMMARY So why only 4/5 ? It did meet our expectations but didn’t exceed them, this is a great place for being private and embracing your surroundings; we enjoyed visiting the local bars nearby but probably could have done more .. the view from our cottage was very hypnotic, but the quietness just wasn’t our vibe. We are so blessed and glad we got to experience this amazing place, it was our first on the cliffs and we look forward to returning to the bar and the restaurant which are definitely a 5/5 for us!

Just got back from an amazing 3-day 20th anniversary celebration and vow renewal at Tensing Pen with more than 30 of our friends and family. I could go on at length about how wonderful everything was, from the rooms and the views to the food and the drinks. And the dogs. We jumped off the bridge, swam in the pool, visited 7 Mile Beach. A few even went parasailing. Mostly though I want to thank the amazing staff at Tensing Pen, led by our tireless event coordinator Sha-Wayde, who worked with us for months and then made sure everything went off without a hitch - airport transportation, menus, music, room changes and cancellations. She handled it all, and did it with charm and cheerfulness. Thanks Sha-Wayde! And thanks to our fearless lifeguard Rasine and our super cool bartender Razor. And to every member of the staff who made this the trip of a lifetime for our whole group. Respect!
