The Islander's Inn

We chose this hotel for its stunning view of the sea and price point. It met all our expectations. Our room was basic but clean and comfortable with a lovely balcony and chairs. Sheets and towels changed regularly. Bathroom and shower perfectly acceptable considering Union Island has limited water supplies. Sandra and team went out of their way to help us enjoy our holiday. Sparrows Beach and restaurant just a short walk away, and definitely worth visiting.

We chose this hotel for it's location and local charm and price point and on all counts it didn't disappoint. The location overlooking a small beach with views across to Mayreau is fabulous. The rooms are spacious and very clean, our bed was comfortable (but quite low) and with windows and a fan we were cool enough at night (making use of the mosquito net). We had use of a fridge in the corridor outside the room and daily house keeping. Our terrace was lovely but seating not the most comfortable. The bathroom was clean and joyfully we had hot water every day. Location is great, feels like a bit of paradise. In addition to the outlook and quiet you are walking distance from the town (up and over the hill, 13 mins for us!) or along the beach and salt pond to Sparrows Beach Bar and Big Sands (10 mins) for gorgeous swimming. We ate two evening meals prepared by Holly - both were good, but her prices are not especially competitive. Sandra is helpful and welcoming and organised taxis for us, also recommended things to do such as Ashton Lagoon and Chatham Bay. Maintenance challenges, weather, water issues, electricity and supplies are just some of the challenges faced by the tourist industry in SVG. After several stays in different island hotels and guest houses in the SVG we'd rate this one pretty good and in the sometimes difficult circumstances of being an hotellier in such a tropical and remote spot Sandra delivers a lovely and comfortable place to stay.
