Rainbow Sea Resort

Rainbow Sea Resort

10/10 Excellent
"Room was clean, has amazing view. We didn't cook but noticed that the kitchen was spacious and equiped with everything one needs to make a meal. We enjoyed our stay. The check in process was a bit frustating. The property does have a front desk person for check-in. There was a phone number at the front desk one needs to call to get a code to open the lock box to get the key to the room. However, as an international traveler without a calling plan, the unexpected phone call I had to make was costly."

10/10 Excellent
"Plantation resort is perfectly positioned in the centre of town with sweeping beach views. Staff were super helpful in bringing forward our stay before we even arrived. On arrival, the resort was beautifully presented and the suite very generously proportioned. The beach trolley and toys were a great bonus. Highly recommend the double Island kayak tour."
