What guests say
9.3 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 252 guest reviews
Saint John's Resort earns near-universal praise for its stunning grounds, elegant architecture, and polished on-site dining, with guests repeatedly highlighting the property's beauty and welcoming atmosphere. However, recurring issues — including an unreliable hot tub, no on-site breakfast offering, cold room service, and occasional unfriendly staff — temper what is otherwise a very strong guest experience. The resort's charitable mission also resonates meaningfully with many visitors.
