Hôtel Amaudo

Beautiful location with an amazing view. Easy walk to the bay below for a relaxing beach day. It is close to St Francois and St Anne. The staff including Bianca, Stephanie and Laurent were very helpful. They recommended amazing restaurants nightly and booked our reservations. The daily breakfast was tasty.

Hotel Amaudo has still a spectacular view, 2 beautiful pools and very nice and helpful attendants at breakfast. We have been very loyal to them since 2016 and went every year except during the pandemic. Unfortunately this year, we had a poor experience. We made a reservation for a Premium room for 2, which means large room with large bathroom. We always choose this category, and in the past years, we always enjoyed a beautiful room with a king size bed and a sitting area, and a sizable bathroom. This year, we were assigned a small room with a very small bathroom with the toilet almost in the shower, at the price of a Premium room. And the gutter outside was just in front of our room, it was very noisy because of the strong tropical rain at night, not mentioning that the trash bins for the hotel were on the side of this room. The front desk was totally unresponsive: “ they could not reach out to the management” and “ the management decided it was considered a Premium room”or “you did not ask for a specific room number”. We felt cheated and we won’t go back. We just advise guests making a reservation to be very clear they don’t want room 11 and if you want a Premium room, ask for room 12 or 14 or for a additional few dollars an even bigger room, room 15 and you should have a bliss.

Having read all the reviews of this hotel I was expecting great things. And some were absolutely incredible. The rooms and the setting of this hotel is outstanding and very little compares to anywhere else Ive stayed. However i was underwhelmed by the breakfast and the lack of general facilities ie getting lunch or a drink on site. Everything like this required a 3 mile journey which become an inconvenience. I eventually became to realize this place as the most beautiful apartment you could ever stay in. But a hotel, as i understand them, this it’s not.
