Villa Renaissance

Just got back from our 5 night stay at the Villa Renaissance. We had villa 102, which was a 2 bdrm oceanfront unit. Here are the pros and cons of our stay - family of 3 Pros: spacious unit, full kitchen, excellent location on Grace Bay (breathtaking beach right in front), very convenient to a lot of restaurants, unit is very well kept, even though you can see it’s dated. Cons: we experienced tons of mosquitoes in the stairwell, which came into the unit when the door opened (biting us all night). The front door had issues and was stuck all the time. My husband had to open it as I couldn’t due to how hard it had to be pulled. Main bedroom had a king bed and secondary bedroom had 2 twins. There was something up with the twin beds. They were LOUD anytime you turned. Maybe time for a new bed frame? The living room has a huge slider, which we hoped to keep open, but couldn’t because of the mosquitoes. Kitchen had a musty smell.. maybe from the dishwasher, seems pretty old. Overall it was a decent property, but I wouldn’t stay there again, personal preference. Location was phenomenal though.

Villa Renaissance was a fabulous choice for our family. We booked room 602, a two bedroom unit. It was decorated very nicely, had a fully functioning kitchen, and washer dryer. We loved that the unit was close to the pool, lobby and resort exit to town, all very convenient. Though I’m sure some would prefer an ocean view this was perfect for our family with two young children. The hotel is located on beautiful Grace Bay. The pool is very nice and located in the center of the resort right off the lobby. While there are not tons of amenities and staff, they have a great bar that was open 11am-6pm and provides service to the pool and beach, though mostly the pool area. The bar also has a decent lunch menu and we ate lunch here several times during our stay. You could have an early dinner or late breakfast here but the menu is more oriented to lunch. Anyway, we preferred to eat breakfast in our unit and explore the many nice restaurants on the island for dinner. The beach had an adequate number of chairs though we didn’t use them much. There is a fitness center and tennis /pickle ball courts but we didn’t use those. There were a limited number of staff but they were friendly and attentive. Adacelli provided fantastic service at the bar. Chelsea and Nobi at the front desk, and Taylor provided us snorkel gear one day. Some families may prefer more food and amenity options but for us this was perfect. We were out doing tours most afternoons, and spent mornings at the pool and beach

Beautiful complex with well appointed rooms. Staff was very friendly and helped recommend and arrange local trips. Located 1 block away from restaurants and shopping and the Pancake Puppy Adoption (fun). No onsite food (brought in from restaurant and bar had limited operating hours but that was fine for us for a family vacation.
