Great place to stay on the beach front close to restaurants and public transport. Beautiful views. Friendly staff. Accommodation lived up to expectations except for the Wifi and internet access, which was erratic.

Our stay at Sails was perfect. The apartment was spotless and well equipped with everything we needed. Location was great. Gareth was super helpful. The pool was well maintained. Having the undercover parking was a real bonus. 10/10 will definitely return!

A great location and clean, nicely styled accommodation. The kitchen and bathroom cabinetry was a little old, however everything we needed was there. Lovely fresh linen and ocean views, with waves lapping on the beach made the perfect weekend getaway.

Absolutely loved the location. Couldn't have been better. Directly across from the beach and a short stroll to all the shops and eateries. Wonderful sunsets every night. What else could you want for?

Great place to stay.

Beautiful weather, great beach right out the front. Everything is within a very short distance flat walking. Fantastic walking tracks available for the more energetic. A bus serveice that is cheap operates throughout the island. New owners in the business are enthusiastic to do well. Highly recommend this place.

Good option in horseshoe bay

Communication and location both great, as were the Sails facilities. Our only concern was the size and layout of some aspects of the two bedroom villa / eg the powder room. Very small. And not being able to use the spa jets in the bathroom, but that’s likely a short term issue. Very good location and a nice pool.

The property is located directly over the road from the beach, so the location is awesome! The Managers are friendly and there are many dining options nearby. The unit that we stayed in was quite dated and some things in the unit were not working as they should (eg. lights, hotplate). I felt that the unit was very overpriced!

Excellent location

Perfectly placed. Close to all amenities, waterfront and water activities. Good eating places to choose from. We would and will come back and stay at Sails On Horseshoe. One downside was the inconsistency of the wi fi. Observed quite a number of people frustrated with it dropping in and out. Not the end of the world but.

Wonderful stay with beautiful views of the sunsets

Wonderful stay at Horseshoe Bay, great spot for seeing the sunset. Bit dated, we had a beachfront apartment which provided a wonderful view of Horseshoe Bay. Very scenic and very peaceful. Most apartments are two story with bedrooms downstairs with living areas upstairs. Lovely place, weather fantastic, very much love to come back again.

Pleasant Stay

Pleasant place to stay but lacked a sea view. Staff were accommodating and service was good. We had issues checking in due to Covid cleaning requirements but this was outside of the the establishments control and the owners were very good in compensating us for this inconvenience.
