Preskil Island Resort

Preskil Island Resort

10/10 Excellent
"Preskil Island resort was such a gem for our honeymoon. Had everything we wanted. The beach is absolutely amazing. They had inclusive boating activities like canoeing, pedal boat etc which made it easier for us to enjoy the ocean without leaving the resort. Very close to the airport as well. We stayed there for the first half of our trip and returned for the last night just cause we absolutely loved the place. Highly recommend for anyone."

"We had a really enjoyable stay at the hotel. The hotel was clean and comfortable, and the food was very good, with a good choice at breakfast. What really stood out was how friendly, welcoming and helpful all the staff were. Bella was especially lovely she was very friendly, kind and always went out of her way to help us. She regularly checked in to see how we were doing and whether there was anything she could do to make our stay more enjoyable. Divesh at the reception desk was always smiling, polite and helpful whenever we needed anything. Sudesh, the shuttle bus driver, was also very nice, friendly and helpful. Overall, the staff made us feel very welcome throughout our stay. Their kindness and excellent service really made a difference, and we would be happy to stay here again."

"Overall great comfortable stay. I was a solo traveler, so it was nice to find an all inclusive resort, reasonably priced with good amenities. It is close to the airport but far from other areas so need to plan for taxis to make day trips or ideally rent a car."

"Whilst the hotel is in a beautiful local and excludes a calm, relaxed atmosphere, it is the extremely warm & welcoming team that leave an everlasting impression. After a long journey & a very hectic month in the run- up to this trip, the hotel & the team provided the perfect start to the opening of my next chapter in life. Highly recommended"

"Had an enjoyable stay, staff were friendly. Hotel and facilities were looking a little tired, but staff had said that the hotel was closing in January for a refurbishment. Great, easy access to the sea, and having the boat option was great! Would like to visit again when hotel has been refurbished. Solo traveller but didn’t feel conscious as there were several other people on their own."
