Cap Maison Resort and Spa

We had a fantastic stay at Cap Maison, a beautiful boutique hotel with wonderful, friendly staff. We took the helicopter transfer from the airport and were glad we did - it was much faster and helped avoid carsickness on those windy mountain roads!

We opted for the all-inclusive package and, feeding a 22 year old and 18 year old, we're glad we did - it was well worth the price. The food was excellent at both restaurants! Breakfast and lunch each day at The Cliffs was a delight. The coffee was wonderful and there was a good selection of breakfast items for every palate. They had fresh baked pastries that would change daily. Definitely get the banana beignet dessert on the lunch menu! Highly recommend the Caesar salad with shrimp or chicken as well. They were always happy to make accommodations for my somewhat picky eater. After 9 days, we did wish there was an additional restaurant option, as we had exhausted most of both menus, LOL. Stand out employees in The Cliffs restaurant included Deanna, Porsha, and Valine. McKinney and Roger provided great service pool-side. Krismet was such a talented bartender! We're not cat people, but we loved seeing the kittens around the restaurant and may have fed them scraps from our plates each day. The food at the Naked Fisherman was also great - worth every step of the 92 steps down and back up to get there! It's a more casual vibe but food was fantastic with very large portions - more than we could finish most nights. Make sure to make reservations with the concierge, as this restaurant is open to the public (they might both be, but this one was generally the more crowded of the two).

The spa was small but wonderful! I had Julien, the spa manager, for 2 amazing massages. Lisa was also fabulous, according to my family. Sassy, the concierge, coordinated all of our spa appointments via email before we arrived and referred us to Eastern Caribbean Diving for scuba - their service was also top notch. July is the beginning of the off-season and rainy season, so the resort wasn't overly crowded. We never saw more than a dozen people around the pool - no fighting for pool chairs like at the mega resorts! We did have some mosquito bites (note: don't sit near the railing at The Cliffs restaurant - that's where we got bit the worst) but the resort had little bottles of repellant and after bite spray you could use.

We opted for a 2 bedroom Spanish courtyard villa. The bedrooms had very strong AC, but no AC in the kitchen/living/dining area, just FYI. It wasn't a big issue for us as there was almost always a nice breeze blowing through the plantation shutters, which do have screens on them to keep the bugs out. Our housekeepers' names escape me, but they kept our villa spotless. One night, having left tip money on the bed for turndown service, one of the ladies told our kids she wouldn't accept the money unless it was accompanied by a note so that she could make certain it was for her - such honesty!

There was a lot of noise from a nearby resort (Royalton?) but it didn't bother us. Cap Maison was nice and quiet. We were not looking for a party scene, so it was perfect for us.

There was too much seaweed on the beach for us to be able to enjoy it, but we're happy lounging at the pool so it wasn't an issue. We were told the seaweed does subside in other months.

Overall, we had a wonderful visit and would definitely return!

A Lovely Hotel, we had an Oceanview Suite with Pool + Roof Terrace our room was very large & great accommodation, with a private pool (it is the only way to go!!) Our adult children and their partners shared a 2 Bedroom Oceanview Villa with Pool. We relaxed, they made the most of everything there is to do! My opinion is that the ground based pools are generally a bit bigger than the roof top ones. The hotel has 2 very good, high quality, restaurants, great service, great food. (If you have dietary requirements they can get a little repetitive after 2 weeks as the menus don't change) Lovely sandy beach, which can have a bit of a seaweed problem, but they are brilliant and quick at sorting it out when it happens after a storm. If you can, make sure to do the private dining in the wine cellar! Lovely, Friendly staff throughout the hotel. This hotel is right at the top of the island (couldn't be further from the airport) so take a helicopter transfer if you can (Great views of the rain forest on the journey) The cost of taxis booked through the hotel for trips out is out of control, Uber is advised. Pigeon Island is very close and a great place to visit, lots of places to eat and a great experience to the peak, very historic. A day in Castries is a must. Horse riding was great ("sandy hoofs" arrange locally) All in all, a great, high quality, hotel.

We stayed at Cap Maison for our honeymoon, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. From the moment we arrived, every member of staff made us feel so welcome. A special mention to Kevin on reception, who was always so friendly and helpful.

The hotel made our honeymoon feel extra special with a bottle of champagne in our room on arrival, and every evening the housekeeping team left fresh flowers and a poem during turndown service. Our room was spotless throughout, and the sea views were absolutely stunning.

The grounds are beautifully maintained, and we loved relaxing on the beach, where there were always sunbeds available and staff regularly brought around iced water. We also enjoyed using the complimentary kayaks.

Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice, and we had fantastic meals at both The Cliff and The Naked Fisherman. As someone who is lactose intolerant, I really appreciated how accommodating and knowledgeable the staff were.

What really makes Cap Maison special is the attention to detail and the genuinely caring staff. We made so many wonderful memories here and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it. We’d return in a heartbeat!
