    The breakfast was prix fixe. It would have been nice to have a la carte choices.

    Location was ideal and the room was lovely. It had a view of the water. The outside porch was perfect with a fireplace. The coffee was free.

    The bright cafeteria lights Amat the restaurant for dinner. One 1 main problem was the restaurant that I won’t eat dinner at again. Cold, sterile feeeling with unimaginative food.

    The Staff is friendly, but many are young people here on work visas so often they could not answer questions. Communication in general was not great.We did not receive the printed summary of weekly activities until shortly before we left. The Wednesday night BBQ while pleasant, did not have labels on dishes and there were not enough servers.

    The hotel is well designed, furnished, landscaped and is very clean

    Breakfast price is too high for what it is. Concierge was not really helpful, after receiving tip he never got back to us with our outstanding requests. We also asked for a baby crib which was confirmed by email but had to wait another hour when we arrived to actually get it.

    Very pretty hotel and very clean

    Didn’t have a lot of parking.

    I was impressed with how the clean the rooms were and overall resort was.. very cute and nice atmosphere. Restaurant was good and had a beautiful violinist playing. I liked that they turned your bed down for the night, put some more clean towels and put out water and glasses for water by the bed, was very nice! They also had a refrigerator stocked with cold drinks and snacks that were free which was an added bonus, don’t get that these days at most resorts. Overall enjoyed our stay and would go back again!

    The only criticism I had was the checkin and checkout process seemed inordinately slow. The staff while extremely polite, friendly, and professional seemed alittle unsure of the computer systems. The wait staff, again, couldn't have been nicer or more polite, but very green. The ones I encountered were young, teenage and 20 somethings, who clearly didn't have much, if any, restaurant experience. I realize it's not easy to find professional wait staff as seasonal workers for destination vacation properties.

    Location is beautiful and charming. The hotel decor is beautiful, tastefully done, so charming, and high quality. My room was simple but very nicely appointed, immaculate, and bed was comfortable. Cocktails, dinner, and breakfast were superior! My dinner entree was really top notch in both flavor and presentation. All staff were very professional and extremely courteous.

    Arrangement with booking.com - The reservation through Booking.com said breakfast is included but when we arrived the hotel stated change in terms with those bookings. Hotel gave 40 USD credit for each day. Would have been better to know this before hand.

    Staff was very customer friendly - going out of their way to serve and make the stay exceptional. Property - It is recently renovated so everything is in top condition Food - Restaurant food is exceptional

    Fire alarm in room had a high pitched noise, water pressure was low and the design of the shower got water all over. It's an old building so you hear a bit in the rooms if your neighbors are noisy. 18$ cocktails at bar. At least they provided ear plugs.

    Recently renovated, super clean and modern but takes you back in time. Lots of amenities. Fire places and fire pits everywhere. Loved that they had an Entire game room!! Very cool idea. Staff were all excellent. Beautiful view of water when walking around.

    Breakfast and mattress frame. I'm certain for most people the mattress frame is fine, but there were a few times I was laying on the bed face down looking through my phone, and when you get off the bed without sitting upright your tibia will hit the wooden frame. I'm six foot, pretty athletic, not clumsy, and yet both my tibias are bruised :(

    Overall property is nice. It's a small island so getting to and from Points of Interest from the Pridwin as as hub is a convenience. We also came across the Chequit hotel, and ended up having a lunch there, so no regrets electing Pridwin. The views from the hotel bar and restaurant are enchanting. FYI the Pridwin is recently acquired under new management. This was my first time, but just an FYI to future guests.

    We enjoyed everything about our stay. There were not many workers so we saw the same few working tirelessly all day and night to ensure that guests were welcomed, taken care of and attended to. The grounds are amazing and the recent renovation was extremely well done and thoughtful- updated while keeping the character and charm. Fireplaces on in and out provided a lovely atmosphere. The pool was sunny and warm even at the end of September and the kayaks, boats and paddle boards were easily available. The setting is ideal and the food is outstanding. Every dish- breakfast (limited but always replenished and delicious) lunch and dinner.. amazing. They even made me special coffee upon request each morning. There were plenty of places to sit, relax, talk, read and just take in the view. I grew up nearby but never ventured to the pridwin. Can’t wait to go back!!
