La Siesta Resort & Villas

The pool area was in very poor shape. The pool had mold everywhere, the women’s bathroom was falling apart. The pool also closed at 7pm! Very disappointing for kids as they wanted to stay and play. Our rooms phone was broken, the fridge wasn’t plugged in upon arrival and took forever to cool a So we had to throw some food away. I asked many times for the phone to be fixed but it wasn’t so we had to walk to the desk every time we needed anything. The bartender, Marcus was fantastic though.

Staff very helpful and attentive, well maintained the property, excellent views, good option for big families.

Demetrius was very helpful and courteous. The grounds were well kept and the resort was beautiful. Was a great experience for the whole family.

The property is the sister resort of Amara Cay. They are a 5 minute walk from each other but Amara Cay has a lot more to offer. There is no gym here, no real bar by the pool and no onsite restaurant. You can walk to the other resort to have these amenities though. We had to constantly ask for basic supplies for our 2 bedroom unit, which was annoying. We were told there was no ice machine and needed to buy a bag of ice, but had a small frig in the room that wouldn’t even hold it. The pool was drained the first 3 days we were there and we were promised a credit for the inconvenience but never got it. Our family booked a house on the property, which was advertised to accommodate more people than it could, so we all couldn’t stay together. Lastly, after all of that trouble, when we asked for a late checkout, we were all told no. Sean is the manager and we’ve tried to contact him and the resort regarding our credits but we have yet to get a response. If you like quiet and slow, this is the resort for you.

La Siesta is a perfect getaway for families with small kids. Our daughter loved the little beach area and the pool. We were a bit confused about the lack of dining onsite, since the website claimed there was a small restaurant, but it didn’t exist when we arrived. No explanation or acknowledgment was given by the staff either. We found that odd. The cleaning team took so long to get to our room throughout our stay we were usually already back from our day excursions when they wanted to come in and tidy up (3-5pm). Though, when they did come in, they did a great job. The room was spacious and comfortable me with a great view ( we booked an ocean view room). The bathroom has no fan, though, and when we tried opening the window to vent out some smells, an iguana almost entered the suite. Despite all the small hiccups, we really loved our stay and would choose La Siesta again. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the beach activities were easy to use and fun.

Beautiful views. I wish the pool was heated! It was too cold for us adults, but not too cold for the kids (we went over Christmas). Paddleboard & kayak rentals were awesome!! Not much on the property in terms of dining/drinks. Small poolside cafe that is intermittently staffed. Housekeeping came intermittently as well, but we were there over Christmas so I assumed understaffing, but it didn’t really matter to us, as we didn’t spend much time in the room. Close to a lot of cool attractions like Theater of the Sea & shops, short drive to the Turtle Hospital. You have access to 2 other resorts, Amara Cay & Postcard Inn (we didn’t get to try it as it’s under renovation). Overall, I would return, our kids loved it!

Beach front was super nice. The room wasn’t clean, the floor was super dirty. We’re a family of 5 and we needed the sofa bed, but we couldn’t use it because you can feel the springs so bad. The sofa bed was useless.

This was our first time staying here and it definitely won’t be the last. The pool is made for everyone, even the little ones. The bar is a little pricey for already-made drinks like seltzers and beers but still, very convenient. I feel like there’s also rooms for families of all budgets also. There’s a nice variety of rooms depending on what view you choose and the size of the family. They also welcome guest to come visit for the day in case you have family that is near by. I really enjoyed it. And I will definitely come back and invite all my family to book a room.

Stay there often always fun with the family lots of activities to do. June the beach attendant has to be one of the most polite and respectful young man I've ever met.

Had an amazing stay here with my family of 5. The staff was extremely accommodating and super friendly! The rooms and suites were spacious and clean. Also many complimentary resort activities, including a scavenger hunt, bike rentals, kayaks and stand-up paddleboards and beach yoga. An extra bonus was that we were able to use the amenities at all their sister properties on the island as well. Everything was really great but the staff there is what really made our vacation there exceptional!!
