I did not like that the room was not ready for us at 5pm for check in. If check in is at 4pm, I should not have waited to receive my room by 5pm, especially after a long flight. The room smelled like Clorox bc it had just been cleaned and so upon going into the room, the smell was not pleasant. There were no shower curtains in the shower! All the water splashed on the floor even when you were as careful as you can be. The best part of the hotel was the beach and the food. There’s definitely improvement that needs to be made.

Our room was smelly and there was mildew in the shower and tub. Friends who checked out after us were told the hotel was overbooked and their room was no longer available (they had pre-paid). It got resolved eventually after they expressed their extreme displeasure, but definitely not a place we would ever stay again.

We had a wonderful stay at the British Colonial. What stood out most was the consistency of service, especially over an extremely busy holiday weekend. Every interaction reflected professionalism, warmth, and genuine care. Thank you to Charles and his team for their support throughout the week. We would also like to recognize Crystal at The Red Pearle Grille for ensuring our family’s allergies were handled thoughtfully and safely. The Front Desk team and Concierge were attentive and responsive at every turn. We also appreciated the private beach and the hotel’s ideal location, within walking distance of fantastic restaurants, the Queen's Staircase, and plenty of shops. We would gladly return.

Disliked: Amenities
Room was clean with housekeeping daily. Free water, tea and coffee in the room but stocking those items daily was inconsistent. Sometimes no coffee, sometimes no cups for coffee. Room phone did not work so we usually had to find someone working down the hall for supplies. Difficult getting a lounge or umbrella by the pool until we got there for 7:30am. Staff in all areas of the hotel are outstanding! Prices in the hotel restaurants were super expensive, and local restaurants close around 4:00 when the cruise ships leave. McDonald’s is open late, also sushi. Smugglers is great for Breakfast and lunch and Oku sushi, both across the street. Beautiful weather, and restful around the pool and beach. Meals were the only real issue.

Room right next to elevator and made noise the whole night. Awful. Tried to change but they said no. Most people who stayed at these rooms were complaining online. Also the rest of the hotel is average at best. Avoid rooms ending in 36 and 44 in all floors because those are the two next to elevator.

Room was clean. Breakfast was great. Service was excellent. Facilities looked wonderful but I had a late check in at around midnight. Also had to leave the next morning so my stay is probably not typical and not what they cater to. That said, still, after 10:30 no food service. No vending machines. No mini bar in the room just an empty fridge. I had coffee supplies but no coffee maker or kettle. Just no food or drink. And I was a female travelling alone so didn't want to head outside at midnight. Hotel looked nice otherwise.
