This place is faultless for a family winter break. Try going to bed as we did by turning off the aircon, starting the ceiling fan, opening the French doors and closing the mosquito screens, whilst listening to the Caribbean's gentle swells break steps away on the beach and the wind in the coconut palms. No need to set the alarm,... More

We had our 7th visit to Carlisle Bay in November 2011 and would say whilst there was nothing wrong with our first 6, this was the best yet. The service and quality is as good as ever but the expanded dining options in both Indigo and East made our stay a better experience. We continue to make new friends every... More

My husband and I stayed here for 5 days in November after a trip to New York. The hotel is positioned on the beach with a beautiful rainforest backdrop. It is quite a small hotel which adds to its personal charm and private feel. Our room was a large, contemporary, open plan style with a balcony overlooking the beach. The... More

We have just returned from a week at Carlisle Bay and enjoyed every minute. It is the optime of a deluxe property. We never left the property (we're ashamed to say) and enjoyed every minute while there. The ocean-facing suites are perfectly situated - 20 yards from the sandy, clean and private beach. The service in the rooms, restaurants and... More

Just back from 7 days in Carlisle Bay (1/28-2/4), the first family holiday with the husband, our 22 month old son and 5 month old daughter. Best points -the beach! it's a stunning bay with clear water and soft sand, and the water is shallow and calm (perfect for young kids). at one end of the beach, there's a mangrove... More

I was always aware how Carlisle Bay was known to be a good property for families, however, having just experienced a 4 night stay at the property with my husband and 4 year old son, I can undoubtedly say the hotel couldn’t be any more PERFECT for families, especially those traveling with small children, and yes, infants. Carlisle Bay offers... More

After seeing photos of this hotel for years, and being lulled into believing it would be a very exotic place, I must confess my first impression was a bit of a damp squib - and it remained that way... On the whole we found everything rather average, especially the common parts and the food. What does work well is that... More

Dear Serial_Traveller, We were all very sorry to read that Carlisle Bay failed to meet your expectations. Time away is extremely precious, therefore one would always wish it to be special. One of the lovely aspects of Carlisle Bay is that it has always hosted an appealing mix of guests and individuals who generally travel extensively. Regardless, we deeply regret... More
