Mayfair Gardens

A 15-20 min walk to the harbour, Mayfair gardens is nestled in a residential area, like many hotels in the area. Our room was a free upgrade - 2 bedrooms (twin and standard double), along with a living/ dining area fitted with 2 sofa beds, a kitchenette and a small TV. This opened up onto a balcony which could also be accessed via the standard double. Suitable for a family with young children, it was more than enough for our needs. Kitchenette, though not needed, had crockery provided, with a kettle, hob and fridge freezer. Cleaning staff tried their best, but often would clean the rooms even if sign was not left on the doors. Even when requested via sign, bed sheets would not be changed. And towels would automatically be replaced. Which sometimes was not necessary as they hadn't been used/weren't dirty. Bring your own shampoo/body wash the 3-in-1 option available is not the greatest quality. The food (we were all inclusive) was acceptable but not memorable. Selection catered to every requirement. Mocktails, with their creative names, all tasted the same. Cocktails were good (no pina coladas, pay extra to have that tailor made at the bar...) , though the alcohol content variable. The bar for all inclusive is available until 11pm, from which alcohol and coffee can be obtained. There is a spa on site, but a separate contractor organises , who are not based in the hotel so ring them instead of waiting in the spa reception ! Excellent massages, though costly. 3 pools in total plus a shallow kid splash area. One of the pools is indoor and was under renovation during our visit. Found the activity schedule run for non water sports took the kids away from the main pools at various intervals. There's also a kids club. Adjoined to the hotel is a sports bar, not included in all inclusive. The near by King's Mall Avenue is gorgeous, with many recognisable brands. Bakeries, tourist shops pharmacies and restaurants are also dotted about.

5 stars all the way! What an amazing stay I had at the Mayfair in Coconut Grove, just perfect! The room, restaurant, hotel bar & pool (especially the bar) met and exceeded expectations. Can't wait to do it again. Special thanks to the GM, Greg Angelo, on his attention to detail for our entire party.
