Escape at Nonsuch Bay - Plunge Pool Suites – All

First impressions, such a beautiful location. The views are unreal, stunning in fact. It's a small cosy resort the bar and pool area are good, very relaxed. The rooms are fabulous! They are large and very comfy, the small plunge pool is a very welcome feature, we used it a lot. The room is cleaned every other day. The beach is probably a 25 min walk away up a very steep hill and down the other side, we did know this before our arrival. There is a shuttle from the hotel by a little speed boat, which was fun. Our biggest gripe was there is no beach bar - just a water station! All the guests were very unhappy at this, after all it was an all-inclusive resort, so this is unheard of. You don't get a minibar so you can't even take your own drinks to the beach, this is very off putting. The beach itself was nice and seaweed free when we were there. Entertainment is very low key, there was a group one night and a saxophonist another. That was it. There was a distinct lack of music around the bar area, it was very quiet. We understand not everyone wants blaring music, but a little in the background can be enjoyable. Hurricane Jerry hit whilst we were there, so we had to collect dinner from the restaurant and eat it in our room. We understand they have to have contingency plans in place but we thought the food that was supplied to us was very sub-standard, almost inedible. Rice with a few pieces of pork thrown in. Be aware, when it rains, they are unable to serve you in the restaurant due to it having a leaky roof and no shutters to close it off to the elements. They offer you to eat in your room, again. This is unacceptable, they really need to do more to rectify this as we all know how the Caribbean weather can be at times. If it does rain or there is a storm there is nowhere for you to go except your room, there are no covered seating areas or a lounge. Would we return? No. With a little more effort the resort could be fantastic, a bit more thought needs to be put in to make the guests comfortable. It seems they are running on half empty. It could be a fabulous resort. Staff: We really enjoyed chatting to Ivananna who worked in the restaurant and bar, a genuine really sweet girl, who loved talking about her family. Charles - you do the best cocktails and always had a wonderful smile! Prim - we had a couple of small issues, but he helped us out, quickly. Enjoyed chatting to him too.

We stayed for one week as part of a two week trip, met done lovely people. Great Staff and Rooms, but Some Areas Need Improvement Arrival and check-in were smooth, although we didn’t receive a welcome drink like others have mentioned. That said, the bar was only a few steps away, so no big deal! Cocktails and bar staff were fab. We also had to take our own cases to the room, which was in the second-to-last block — again, not a huge issue but something worth noting. The staff at this resort are fabulous — genuinely kind, helpful, and friendly. Beach towels can be a bit hard to find and tend to disappear quickly. There’s no minibar in the rooms, with plunge pools, this would have been a nice touch. Apparently, those are only included in the executive rooms, or chargeable at $50 per day though we had a lovely bay view room anyway. You’re only given two bottles of water for your stay, but these can be refilled at reception. If not again charged at $2 per bottle. We brought our Stanleys, which worked perfectly. As it’s out of season, only water was available on the beach — the beach bar was closed and distant look like its opening anytime soon but we still enjoyed the walk and the speedboat shuttle. The beach is not the best ! A trip to Green Island shouldn’t be missed. Food has been generally not been great other guests have commented on this too with a nice variety at breakfast and enjoyable lunches. Dinner was a bit limited, especially for fussy eaters, but there was always something available. We paid extra for the lobster and steak meal for my birthday — unfortunately, it wasn’t worth the additional cost. Service was a bit hit or miss too either amazing or not so good. The pool is small and, during our stay, didn’t look particularly clean. When mentioned, we were told it’s cleaned daily, though it didn’t appear that way. There is no easy access in or out of the pool and for those less able there are lots of steps and perhaps not a suitable property. The bar is small and in poor weather which does occur there is not enough suitable dry space for guests. Worth noting is that many pictures on both the virgin and BA website are very old ! Many of the sunbeds are very worn, and one morning we found animal droppings around the pool area. While we appreciate there’s plenty of wildlife here, public areas should really be cleaned before guests arrive. Please don’t get me wrong — there are lots of great things about this resort, especially the staff and the rooms, which are fabulous. However, there’s definitely room for improvement. In my opinion, while the rooms feel 4–5 star, the rest of the hotel experience is closer to 3 star. We travel regularly and know what the differences in standards and expectations should be around the world. Worth noting some drilling and banging from across the Bay during our stay which looked like a refurbishment are taking place in a nearby property. Would we return, no when there are so many other great hotels out there.

Spent a week here from 9-16th October 2025 with my wife. A very relaxing week, it’s a lovely resort, room was amazing, we paid extra to upgrade to have the full bay view. We found the food very good and served by employees who tried their best to give the best levels of service. My advice would be to hire a car and get around and visit the island, would recommend visiting Shirley Heights Sunday evening ( get there early like 4.30pm ish to avoid the crowds and capture the stunning views. Pigeon Point beach was our favourite beach of the 15 or so we visited. We didn’t use the hotel pool much and found the beach at the resort (a 10 minute walk approx up a hill) a little disappointing but they did have Storm Jerry 2 days prior !!!! Shout out to all the staff but Charles and Naisha went above and beyond most during our stay - would we return, yes most definitely. We met some lovely people from the UK and US during our stay..

We visited the Escape the first week of September. Check-in was simple and efficient. We had already checked in online, and we had pre-ordered our private picnic, so things were very simple. We waited until about 2:30, and our room was ready. The shining stars of this resort are the rooms....fantastic. We had a bay view room, and the view and the plunge pool were spectacular. Luckily for us, our pool started receiving sunshine at around 10:30am, so we could use it for most of the day. Which was a very good thing, because the main pool was tiny, with not near enough seats to accommodate everyone who wished to use it. There were also only two chairs in the sun, so it was a battle every morning to see who would get those two seats. This area of the resort definitely needs some improvement. The beach was also a disaster. If you missed the boat ride over, you needed to walk up and down some very steep hills to get there.....once we arrived, we wished we hadn't bothered. The beach is a mess, and filled with sargassum and growing sea grass. Not swimmable at all. We went one time, and stayed for about 30 minutes, then trekked back to the main resort. We did pay to do the private beach picnic on Green Island, and that was fantastic! Highly recommend. The set up was nice, the food was good, and you could use the beach. Loved our time there. Well worth the US$150. Meals were good. Some were very good. I'm not used to having such a small amount of choices, but we made do with what they had. We rented a car for two days, and I highly recommend doing this. The other side of the island had spectacular beaches (Jolly Beach was amazing), and it is worth it to get out and see the countryside. We enjoyed this very much. We also had dinner at Slates one night, and let me tell you, this place was unbelievable! A Michelin Star chef, and every course was divine!!! Well worth it!! The bugs were rough at Escape, make sure you bring some serious bug spray with you!! The staff were lovely. Overall, we enjoyed our time at Escape. We feel that we got a good deal for our money, and we would probably visit again for the room and plunge pool alone. Very relaxing place that truly makes you unwind and slow down. Thank you Escape, for a lovely vacation.

The Escape is just amazing for couples. A nice relaxed resort out of the way. You might want to hire a car if you want to explore the island. The staff were so friendly and the resort has numerous activities and romantic add-ons if you’re on a honeymoon! After a week we didn’t want to leave
