First, we very much enjoyed our stay. For clarity and expectations even after reading reviews, the unpaved road to the resort is much bumpier than expected. There is nothing from the last paved road to the resort, so a flat tire or any trouble would be unsettling, especially at night as it is very dark. An SUV is ideal. Our âmidsizeâ rental was not equipped for the road. It is 30 minutes from anything âin townâ. No less than 25 to the IGA. The unit is very clean and comfortable. Pool area is nice. Landscape is beautiful and well groomed. Beach is not very powdery and there was a lot of seaweed on the beach, not in the water, but you can walk forever and it is very private. The view from the balcony is lovely!
We enjoyed our stay. The condo was clean, spacious and comfortable. Views are amazing. We liked having 2 full bathrooms so we could each have our own. The unit smelled of mildew when we arrived but it quickly disappeared with the dehumidifier that was running. It did need to be emptied a few times a day. The pool is great. Food stand on property was only open a few hrs during the weekend with limited options. The beach area was never busy and we never saw more than 2 people at a time on the beach. The beach and water did have a lot of seaweed, more so than the other beaches we visited on the island, but it was still nice. There are several beaches to visit with the option to rent an umbrella and chairs and you can use resort restaurants and restrooms in Grace bay beaches. The long dirt road to condo is a bit bumpy and dusty so I definitely recommend renting a jeep or suv.
We had a wonderful stay here at the property. It is very well stocked with everything one may need for a comfortable stay. The beautiful balcony looks out into the ocean and gives a beautiful view of the sunrise. The pool and hot tub are clean and well maintained. The manager was clear in his communications and graciously allowed us to check out later than the standard check out time as our flights had to be changed. One definitely needs a car to drive back and forth from the grace bay area as this is quite secluded. But that was a selling point for us, as we were looking to stay in a quiter area. All in all amazing place and we would love to be back here.
We thoroughly enjoyed our 9 day stay at the condo! Reading prior reviews about it being remote was a selling feature to us, yes you need a car rental but in the long run for our family a rental is more economic than taxi rides. We enjoyed seeing all of the island but especially loved returning to the quietness of this resort. Nothing beats sipping a mai tai from the bar/restaurant under the umbrella on the beach and taking in the views. Our first day there we saw several turtles and a sting ray and fish steps from our room! The condo was comfortable and just as described. We also enjoyed most meals oceanside from our balcony which was such a bonus! The landscaping of the property is also incredible. A definite must!
Spectacular View, nice condo, clean and comfortable. Resort was nice, restaurant a plus - great Pina Coladas!!! A little off the beaten path - but was expected per previous posts. Directions provided were point on, as I didn't have cell service the first day. Definitely recommend and would stay again.. Thank you!!
Quick note - I would highly recommend getting at a minimum size SUV to drive to this property. The roads are terrible. I actually had of that entire had to have Hertz come out and fix the tire while we waited. OK onto the property.This is a high-end condominium property away from all the hustle and bustle of the city. This property allows for queen size bed, and a double pullout couch for a total of four if necessary. The kitchen is fully equipped almost everything you need is at the property. The property has a perfect beachfront along with a resort style pool in between the two buildings. We were lucky enough to relax outside near the pool before our flight. They have a small kitchen restaurant and drinks bar on the property, which worked perfect for us. I would highly recommend this affordable property for small families.
What a wonderful week. Great location to get away from it all. Fully enjoyed the sunrises, long walks on the beach, pool and hot tub, kayaking and snorkeling. Thank you Hal for a wonderful birthday week. Just what we needed.
Beautiful property with fantastic views. You can watch the sunrise from the balcony. The beach is steps away. The pool is freshwater and most days there are very few people around. The location is very quiet and relaxing. We wanted to stay away from the crowds at grace bay and this place was perfect.
We had a wonderful stay in this unit. Owner was great with any communications we needed. Excellent recommendations made for local restaurants, beaches, and things to do. The resort was very clean and great seating options for either enjoying the pool or ocean views. On site restaurant was a bonus. I would definitely recommend!
Very nice and immaculately kept resort and not too far out of the way. Gives excellent privacy and is just a short drive to the busier areas of the island. Hal was a great host. Very in touch with his customers should any issue arise. Zero complaints. Great vacation here.
We could've stayed on the balcony for days. Beautiful bright condo, incredible views, great layout, large bedroom and bathroom. The grounds were beautiful! The beach was amazing. Loved having the restaurant open for a couple of days. Hals customer service is great! He always gets back to you quickly and the check in instructions were so helpful with great tips to help us during our stay.
My husband and I stayed for a week and it was amazing! We loved having breakfast on the patio every morning and enjoying the view and ocean breeze. The property, pool, hot tub, beach access was all wonderful! We look forward to visiting again in the future.
We were looking for a more private secluded place away from the craziness of the city area. This place was perfect, nice and quiet. Will certainly go back
Northwest Point Resort is a lovely contained retreat spot, as long as you are prepared to be at quite a distance from everything else. We found the unit to be just what we needed, complete with lovely ocean breezes. Be prepared to plan for and/or pack in food/supplies. The pool is lovely and the beach setting too - a great spot to watch the kite surfers or walk and collect coral and shells. Hal left great information and suggestions for restaurants, grocery shopping, etc. Super helpful. Enjoy!
This property is 15-20 mins away from all other beaches in TCI and the solitude it provides is remarkable. Literally I saw no more than 10 others on the beach any given day. My wife and I were the only ones at the pool as well.
We were so pleased with our stay. The beach was amazing, the condo had everything we needed to cook wonderful meals and the views from the condo were spectacular.
We would definitely stay here again. âïžđïž
First of all, Hal, our host was absolutely fantastic. So quick to respond when we had an issue at check-in, and let us know of a water issue in our building as it was happening. He also gave us a 5 page list of details about the property and other best places to go on the island. Our unit was clean, updated, and provided everything we needed for our stay. The views from the balcony were great as we enjoyed breakfast every morning. The resort itself is quiet and removed from the busy tourist areas. Yes, itâs a drive into town to go to the restaurants and other tourist areas, but it was just what we were looking for. Plenty of beach and pool chairs, umbrellas, and quiet for the whole week. If youâre looking for a place away from the tourist areas, this is it. Highly recommend!
This property is perfect for people seeking a remote, gorgeous, tropical experience. The condo is well appointed, spacious and clean and a tiny walk to the most beautiful ocean in the world. There is also a pool and hot tub in the complex. If you like to explore, the property is on the border of a beautiful, tropical national park, with a sandy trail that winds across the northern tip of the island to the northwest point. Our favorite part of this experience was the solitude of the locationâ approximately six miles from any touristy hubbubâ but only six miles, so you can easily get to restaurants, Grace beach, etc. You must rent a car, but it is completely worth it.
We had a glorious visit!
This was a great place to stay and we appreciated we were isolated and not surrounded by other resorts and a bunch of people. The long walks on the beach and the conch shells were fabulous and the pool was a nice place to cool off and well maintained.
The host was very responsive and helpful especially when we needed to seek out a medical facility.
Only con we are coffee drinkers and there were only 4 cups so we were constantly washing.
Enjoyed our stay.
This is our second time staying at Halâs place and both times it has exceeded our expectations. The apartment is very clean and comfortable. We made most of our meals there. If you plan on doing so ensure you bring your own seasoning, oil, marinades, etc. Besides the apartment being absolutely incredible the property itself is breathe taking and pristine. We love how it is so isolated from the rest of the island but not far away that driving is a nuisance. I canât recommend this place enough.
We really enjoyed our stay. The property was literally off the beaten path (unpaved road) but a short drive from the airport and grace bay.
It was a lovely escape, quiet and secluded but with a ton of amenities.
The owner was great to work with and was accessible for questions while we were there.
We chose this resort and specifically the Palmas Del Mar unit for the seclusion and privacy that it offered and it truly didnât disappoint. This resort is very well kept, from the landscaping and lighting, the pool and hot tub deck, to the privacy of the beach, this resort was everything we wanted. This was the first time my wife and I had ever done a trip like this and we planned and prepared for everything we wanted to experience at this resort. The condo unit was very tastefully decorated and looked fresh and updated. Hal - the owner - communicated well and all the descriptions were accurate. Comfy bed, great views, nice bathroom. The condo kitchen was well stocked and several amenities like beach chairs were a huge plus! We went out to the ocean and beach everyday. While the stretch of beach in front of the resort did have a lot of sea grass, a short walk down the beach to the left offered clear water and great swimming. Most days we didnât see hardly anyone, which is what we were going for. Further down, maybe a mile, there is a huge section of coral reef and we snorkeled here all day one day. We saw turtles, reef sharks, and lots of fish. Truly a private beach! In the evenings, the pool was warm and always clean. We had planned to go eat out several days and did, but also cooked several meals in. You need a rental car to go to and from Northwest Point Resort. If youâre looking for a quiet place to enjoy the beach away from the crowd, this is your place!
I chose Northwest Point Resort because of the tranquil and serene setting. The resort is not crowded which I very much like and you are totally connected with the natural beauty of the island. My condo is perfect for people who want to get away from the hustle bustle of daily life and relax in a magnificent setting.
