Robert's Grove Beach Resort

Excellent property- fantastic staff! - great free breakfast.

Older resort but very well maintained. Ocean view, very comfortable room. Great service. Nice restaurant and bar and plenty of ice! Easy walking distance to other restaurants and a Good market. Very nice location and an extra plus if you’re chartering from Sunsail, Moorings or Dream Yacht Charters they are just across the road.

First off the “welcome drink” was hilarious-pineapple & orange juice & grenadine. We questioned the bartender every way possible & there still wasn’t any alcohol offered. So we had a shot of Patron in each one-$25 US. Lesson learned this is not the place to drink-we realize not everyone drinks but seriously-it was a common joke among other guests. I always try to be positive so I commend the staff and service-it was the best & everyone was always ready to help you. The food in the restaurant was also very good. The rooms and grounds were very clean. One thing you have to understand is this isn’t the Hilton so don’t expect those amenities-Robert’s Grove is characteristic of their land. We were disappointed the “3 bars” stated in their description were not operating & we were so looking forward to the bar out on the pier which wasn’t operating either. The 3 pools are all separated by the buildings. We were looking for a quaint & small resort and it did meet those needs. Despite that fact, it still needs some “vibes”-a little music playing or something to add some ambience. There was no problem of getting chairs in the beach or pool. Buy a “bottle” at the airport when you get in-Robert’s will give you a bucket of ice. We understand there are some financial issues for this resort & we hope they can pull out of it and step up the atmosphere a little.

It was quiet while we were there and we had the infinity pool to ourselves which was awesome! The rooms and grounds were neat and clean but could use some sprucing up. The staff was nice but did not know all the hotels policies. We chose to supply our own beverages as the bar was expensive and poured a short cocktail.

Location on the beach away from the town. Nice rooms. Service was very poor and the food in the restaurant both at dinner and at breakfast was scant and bad.

Shabby and not shek. No hot water in room, no bar to speak of, 1970’s furniture and fixtures. Pool was freezing, no poolside service. Saw 2 raccoons in daytime climb up restaurant to top rooms. Pretty empty and know i see why. Expedia needs to lower its rating!!

Beautiful location. The rooms were spacious and lovely. Staff was friendly and accommodating!!

I don’t think I’ve ever left a bad hotel review until now, but I feel I should notify future guests about the issues we encountered on our 7yr anniversary so they can stay elsewhere. To start, they advertise a free airport pickup on Hotels.com, which is a scam. What they offer is free airSTRIP pickup for private small planes. When we booked, we immediately emailed the property with our flight number, but we never heard back despite emailing a few times. We called, and they said they had our flight info, which was United Airlines, so obviously not one of the small planes like Tropic Air that land in Placencia. They said they would be there, but when we called after landing — not only did they ONLY THEN tell us we needed to either take a 3.5hr $300USD+ taxi or a plane, they didn’t help us coordinate it. Beyond the transportation to the hotel, they boast they have daily shuttles to the main town Placencia (then you pay $10USD to taxi back), yet on New Year’s Eve, they didn’t have one available and failed to tell us until 30mins had passed. Beyond that, here is a list of other hotel issues not expected for a hotel that costs $300/night in Central America: - Breakfast low, they said we were only allowed to have two eggs and that you have to get their early for there to be food — warning: They don’t restock! - No towels, you better ask for beach towels early, if you don’t, they run out. A lord of the flies beach resort with no towels Go to It’zana!!!

Our family of four LOVED our stay at Roberts Grove. We had a beautiful room, with a separate room with bunk beds for the kids. Huge room, private deck with hammock, chairs and table. Overlooking the gorgeous beach. The sand is powdery soft, swimming is great in the pools and ocean. The staff is great and will really take care of everything for you. All you need to do is show up! They’ll arrange tours, rides all you do is relax! We really enjoyed it. Breakfast was included each day, and the prices at habanero restaurant can’t be beat. Great food, big portions, excellent prices. Resort is beautiful, don’t let a few of the reviews that call it “run-down” scare you. Yes, it’s older, but it is well taken care of. Not a fancy place, feels more like home! I really can’t say enough good things about it. I would definitely recommend it, especially the family room if traveling with kids. I would go back in a heartbeat!

Dated facilities but very nice staff. Very helpful. WiFi not the best but pools are very nice. Could use some updates and have the bars open by the pools.
