We stayed at West Bay Club for our first holiday in TCI. The hotel is kept beautifully clean and the staff can’t do enough to please you.
Many of the newer resorts seem to be a blot on the landscape but not West Bay. It is only 5 floors and built out of what appears to be local limestone. It looks like it belongs to the island.
The gardens and plantings are fantastic and really well maintained. Because of that we were able to watch hummingbirds whilst we ate our breakfast or lunch - every day for a week. And there were regular visitors of kestrels, a young black-capped night heron, and other birds.
The pool was clean and just the right size for us. It is framed by trees and shrubs and there is a lovely view from the pool through an arch in the hotel down to the sea.
We ate dinner several times at the hotel. As with all hotel restaurants, it is not cheap! But that is TCI for you.
West Bay is in a quieter area than the Ritz-Carlton and Seven Stars area. If you want proximity to shopping and bars, this may not be the right hotel for you unless you take taxis or rent a car. If you want a peaceful place to chill it’s ideal!
All in all this place was perfect for us. It’s not pretentious and it has a connection to nature that we really appreciated. The staff and the gardeners care about the place and the guests.
If we return to TCI, we will stay here again!
