The Villas at Simpson Bay Resort

8/10 Good
"When I booked this trip, I messaged to request a room that was not musty because I have severe mould allergies, and I also let them know it was our 25th anniversary. I was assured they would accommodate us. When we arrived, we were given a very musty room on the first floor, on a major traffic path between the beach, restaurants, and the pool, so people were constantly passing by our balcony, which is not ideal for an anniversary trip. I spent my first two days going to the front desk and calling to see if we could change rooms, and we were finally able to change on Sunday afternoon. The new room on the higher floor was the same footprint but not musty, and the view was amazing. If we had been given this room from the start, we would have had no issues and would have reviewed this resort differently. The balcony was huge and private, and we spent many hours sitting there watching the boats. Our suite had a full kitchen, so I could cook most of our meals, which was perfect for us. We went to a few restaurants, and they were very good. My husband liked the bar and grill right on the beach, and they have happy hour from 3 to 5. The grocery stores had everything you need for cooking, and we felt they had fair prices. We brought some groceries from home, including spices, coffee, pasta, beans, crackers, and snacks."
