About Beach View Hotel

Beach View Hotel is a 4-star stay in Paynes Bay, in the parish of Saint James, and it is built around space. Most accommodation is laid out as a villa or suite, with a separate living area, a dining area and a kitchen. Some of the larger villas spread over two floors, with the living spaces downstairs and the bedrooms above. It feels more like a holiday home with hotel services than a conventional room-and-corridor property, and guests have scored it 9.6 from 565 reviews.

The pool area is the heart of the day. You can swim lengths in the exercise/lap pool, drift in the infinity pool, or choose the salt-water pool. A shallow end makes things easier for little ones, and pool sun loungers, free pool cabanas and beach umbrellas give you somewhere to settle in. Families can borrow beach toys and pool toys, and supervised childcare and activities are available. A terrace and a Japanese garden offer quieter corners when you want a break from the water.

For an active stay, the hotel has golf, scuba diving and snorkeling on site, and a fitness facility is available for a surcharge. Slower days can be spent at the spa and wellness center, with massage services, beauty services, manicures and pedicures on hand. Guests can also arrange horse riding, fishing and swimming nearby, and the tour desk and car hire help you plan days out.

Meals can be as casual or as organized as you like. There is a restaurant, a coffee shop and a snack bar/deli on site. Kid meals are available, and a hosted evening meal can be reserved. Happy hour and wine release events add a social touch, while the BBQ facilities and in-room kitchens suit self-catering. Grocery deliveries can be arranged for stocking up. Concierge service, luggage storage, private check-in/check-out and 24-hour security round out a stay that is easy to settle into.
