It was a lovely clean lodging in the most beautiful location. Easy walk into town and to the best beach bar on the island. Could do with a hairdryer and air conditioning but perfect for a few days.

The inn is lovely with nice rooms and outside is very well maintained. You go directly to the beach which is across the inn. Sandra, the owner does everything possible for the guests to feel home. We had a wonderful tour of the island with many places to visit. Highly recommended, we loved it and we’ll go back.

Situated about a 20 minute walk away from Clifton, the Islanders Inn was ideal for a Union Island holiday. Simplistic and rustic yet a beautiful location on the beach. Sandra was helpful in any way we needed - helping arrange taxis around the island, making recommendations, and helping us arrange a Tobago Cays trip

A Quiet Retreat
This is a nice hotel in a quiet location almost on the beach and with a lovely view over to Mayreau. Sandra, Helena and Petra do all they can to make your stay a pleasant one. It is about a fifteen minute walk to town so a reasonable level of fitness is advised. Highly recommended.

The Islander's Inn will give you an unique insight into Caribbean living and culture. Sandra and Clyde are wonderful hosts who happily great you morning, noon or evening. If you want a meal prepared, no problem. Clyde is your man and chef. The food is great. One morning I said I'd rather not have orange juice so Clyde reached into a palm tree and picked a coconut. There's nothing like fresh coconut water and the gel for a morning drink. The ocean was steps from the veranda and during the night we could hear the soothing sounds of waves on the beach. Clyde arranged taxis for us, and island tours along with suggestions for other tropical eating establishments. Our room was large with a very large balcony facing the ocean. This is Caribbean living!

Clyde and Sandra own a small, private, impeccably clean hotel near the beach on the north shore of the island. They are happy to accommodate guests in any way possible: arranging for taxis, advising on travel to the island, scheduling trips to local attractions, recommending restaurants or providing directions. We stayed on the second floor, where the ocean breeze keeps the rooms cool. They rooms are tastefully decorated and furnished, and all rooms have standard amenities. While breakfast and coffee are always available in the morning, Clyde is happy to cook dinner for guests if he is notified before 12 noon. The owners are very happy to provide guests with space or to social with guests; it just depends on what the guests want. The beach near the hotel is comfortable and inviting, and there is also a shaded table there where one can relax at night or during the day. The balconies of the units are quite large and offer views of the ocean. One hears the waves of the oceans from the rooms. At night the environment is quite and ideal for relaxation on the balconies or for sleeping. This hotel, in my opinion, is better than those in Clifton, as it is cleaner, much more private and next to a beach. This was probably one of the best trips I have taken in the last ten years, and it is largely due to the hospitality and generosity of Clyde and Sandra, who are respected by everyone on Union Island. Stay here; you will thoroughly enjoy it.
Thank you Kenneth for your honest opinion - we greatly appreciate that you did enjoy your stay here. We are looking forward to welcome you again in our hotel. Clyde and Sandra

Respite from the real world
We had been island hopping for several weeks and were delighted to find that Islanders Inn is located on the quiet side of the island yet accessible to town...10-15 minute walk. The owners, Sandra and Clyde could not have been more friendly and accommodating. They wanted their guests to have a great experience on Union Island and at their hotel. Our room was light and bright with French doors opening onto a balcony with lounge chairs...a great place to relax and escape the noonday sun. Anita cleaned our room daily and offered laundry services for us as well. We had Internet, flat screen TV, electric kettle, and access to a fridge. Although we could have had breakfast and lunch in our room, we choose eat with Sandra and Clyde or other guests. Dinners here were made by Clyde who does an outstanding job preparing fish, lobster, conch, chicken....and a fabulous oxtail soup!

Very friendly service
The location of the Inn is beautiful with the sea right in front of you. The rooms are clean and convenient. It is walking distance from the ferry port, though it will be quite an uphill. The bar and restaurant are great to have, and the owner is an excellent cook. The service is very friendly!

Clyde and Sandra couldn't have been nicer. Clyde recommended we spend one of our days down at the beach and visit a friend of his (Pleasure) who has a little bar and whose wife (girlfriend?) Rosie cooks up some delicious food. We had a great time, hanging out with the locals at the beach, eating a delicious lunch, drinking rum, singing songs. Highly recommend!

Get away from it all
I stayed for three nights, in the cheapest room in the house, which was excellent value for money. Sandra and Clyde are welcoming hosts interested in their guests' comfort and enjoyment, and are helpful without being pushy. The hotel is right on the beach, rather than in town (fifteen minutes' walk or five by taxi). That's just what I wanted. The bathroom was spotless, the room simple but tidy, and it had a little porch with a table and chairs. Clyde is quite a good cook, so the restaurant is a fine option for dinner. There are biting bugs in the cool of the morning and before dark. Take precautions.

A restful getaway from routine distractions
My stay at the Islander's Inn was surprisingly wonderful and refreshing. The proprietors were professional, helpful,and friendly. They provided timely and quality service. From the hands of the gifted chef I enjoyed my flavorful, generous and healthy meals. Though outside of the populated areas of Union Island,the inn's location provides a clear view of the other islands in the chain. Sitting on the spacious balcony off my comfortable and airy room, or on the patio below just gazing at the ocean close by,listening to the waves and loving the green, peaceful, and lush surroundings gave me exactly what I needed to recharge my energy and lift my spirit. I arrived home from Union Island refreshed and satisfied, knowing that I will return to the Inn again when I am in need of healing rest and recharge.

El hotel no acepta tarjetas de crédito para pagar la estancia o las comidas. Esto fue realmente muy inconveniente pues no sabiamos nada al respecto. Entiendo que Hotels.com tiene la obligación de informar de este gran inconveniente cuando se hace la reserva para evitar desagradables sorpresas y corrija este gravísimo error. Gracias.

Excellent stay in Union Island
This was an excellent stay with the most friendly and helpful owner (Sandra) and personnel (Petra). A home away of home feeling all day, we loved to talk to Sandra and Petra and play with the lovely dog of the house. We also received some drawings from the beautiful and kind girl (Kayleigh) and it was great to see her smile every day. Excellent location, the sea is just 3 steps from the house, and the beach is in a long bay with a white sand and green everywhere around- a hill with a view to all islands is just in the corner. The whole place is unique with a quite, isolated atmosphere but at the same time very close to everything. The house is beautifully designed, with coconut trees and many other plants/flowers in the garden and beautiful details everywhere. Our room in the 1st floor had a very large balcony with the most stunning view to the sea and the Mayraeu island, where we could hear the waves every night. Everything was perfectly clean, our towels and sheets were changed every 2 days thanks to Petra, Sandra was close to us every day trying to accommodate all our needs, from arranging a trip to Chatham bay to a tour to Tobago cays, and both gave their best to serve us the best breakfast and dinner every day. We would definitely suggest Islander's Inn to everyone who will visit Union Island and we wish we can be back soon.

Déçus par les alentours de l hôtel
Islander s Inn est un hôtel excentré, situé en dehors de la ville. Pour y accéder, à la fin,il n y a même plus de route mais un chemin de terre avec des ornières. Devant l hotel,avant la mer,c est un terrain vague non entretenu. La plage , non nettoyée , est pleine d algues. La baignade est difficile en raison d un plattier. Sinon,l hotel est correct avec de belles chambres à l étage Bon accueil et gentillesse des propriétaires Clyde cuisine très bien mais certains tarifs sont assez élevés : 20 Exc pour un rhum punch soit le double par rapport à d'autres et 5 Exc pour un verre d eau!!

Either you love it or you feel uncomfortable
Location and room were not so nice as expected, no real beach for swimming (good beach 10 min walk away), we got a very small room and had to share the little table in front with our neighbours. They have rooms on the upper floors one they offered us had no hot water and a view to a roof. Restaurant was good, but you get the same quality cheaper in town (20 min walk over the hill). In the night you hear the sounds of the ocean, hopefully not the noise of other guests separated only by a thin door.

Mygginvaderat träsk
Katastrofdålig vistelse från början till slut. Pga dåligt väder med kraftigt regn var det översvämningar runt huset och jättemycket mygg så det gick inte att vistas ute. Rummet var risigt och luktade mögel (trots att de sa att vi fått deras bästa rum). När det regnade regnade det dessutom in. Dåligt fungerande AC och wi-fi trots att båda utlovats. De som ägde stället (som snarast borde kallas för ett sämre bed and breakfast och inte ett hotell) lyste med sin frånvaro när man behövde assistans. Efter ytterligare regn under vistelsen var alla vägar fram till detta lite avlägset belägna ställe helt översvämmade så man fick vada genom en sjö av gytjevatten och taxin (en jeep) kom knappt fram när vi skulle åka. Trots en eländig vistelse fick vi betala dyra pengar utan kompensation från ägarna som dock utlovade 2 gratis nätter "nästa gång vi kom". Trots gratis boende skulle vi aldrig bo här igen!
