Top Maho Reef Hotel Reviews

Simpson Bay Resort, Marina & Spa

Simpson Bay Resort, Marina & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"The only problem was American visitors who were not following the rules at the pool. They were aggressive, rude and used very foul language with me when I politely asked them to turn off their boom box, stop throwing things around and respect other people at the pool. I got absolutely no support from the bartender when Americans wouldn’t stop what they were doing. She was condescending and joined the Americans in shouting abuse at me. When I called security I got a very annoyed guard who was impatient and obviously sided with the Americans. I have complained to the resort requesting a response but have heard absolutely nothing. For the rest of my time there I kept running into the Americans which kind of ruined my holiday."
