We arrived after a long flight to such a friendly warm welcome! Fruit punch served almost immediately on arrival. The staff at Bel Jou managed by the lovely Dean are all really wonderful and they ensure you have a superb and comfortable stay. Excellent rooms, ours was ground floor with sliding doors in front of one of the pools. I found the bed really comfortable and I'm a fussy sleeper! The curtains were practically black out which is what I need. Good shower and all clean. Being all inclusive was great, self serve bar next to pool and there was a good variety of food. Chefs cooked excellent poached eggs/ omelettes/ fried eggs/ scotch pancakes and French toast at breakfast. There was plenty of bacon, beans, tomatoes, fresh fruit, porridge and more available too, self serve. Lunches were always tasty, rice dishes, potato dishes, lots of fish and chicken cooked in a variety of sauces. There were other meats but I don't tend to choose them. Lots of veggie dishes too. You could also have burgers/wraps/pizza/chips etc at the fast food restaurant near the top pool. At dinner we sometimes chose to go to The Hummingbird Restaurant which was A La Carte and very tasty indeed or we went to the usual Veranda Restaurant where you sit outside (it was perfect temperature for this all day and night long) and there was a lovely variety of food and yummy puddings on offer. My favourite was the pecan pie with ice cream. Also loved the cocktails often made by Devon with a fabulous welcome and smile. All staff were great, kind and friendly, I won't name them all because I'm bound to miss one out!! We enjoyed going to the beach by the private hotel shuttle bus which went hourly, morning and afternoon. The sea was lovely and warm and sunbeds are there for Bel Jou guests. We also hired a car and took a trip to Sugar Beach (saw lots of colourful fish when snorkelling there), also Tet St Paul trail to see the Pitons and we went to Pigeon Island for the day. Lots of history there and also quiet beautiful little beaches. Lastly we went to the Rainforest Adventure and enjoyed zip-lining and tram being surrounded by lush green rainforest! Indeed the whole island is beautifully green. We had occasional bursts of heavy rain that lasted 10 mins and then the blue skies and sunshine were back again!! Was quite a contrast coming home to leafless brown trees in England. If hiring a car, there are lots of pot holes and roads at the North of Island seem a little better. Was worth getting out and seeing this beautiful island though! Read less
