A beautiful hotel thoughtfully embedded in nature in a fantastic location. With direct access to the ocean - a private beach right across the hotel. The hotel complex is well maintained and beautifully landscaped -surrounded by unspoiled nature. Located only a 15 minute walk from the town of Clifton. The rooms are immaculately clean and meet high european standards. All decorated with love. And a STUNNING view! Mosquito nets and free WiFi round off the hotel's profile.This place really is an insider tip!!
The lovely host Sandra is very friendly, helpful and does her utmost to make your stay as pleasant as possible.The welcome is very warm and I felt at home from the first second.
The food is delicious. And a tasty breakfast on the beautiful terrace overlooking the ocean is the best way to start a day.
I highly recommend this place for all those who appreciate a quiet accomodation in a dreamlike setting. I will definitely be back.

The room was kept clean and it was spacious. Hearing the sound of the waves was soothing. Our room had a balcony and it was a great place to read a few books.
Although there is no A/C, there is a fan.
The owner, Sandra, was lovely and she arranged a trip to The Tobago Cays. As we were there for just over a week, we also got our laundry done for a reasonable amount.
The beach is a lovely and peaceful place to go for a walk.
Clifton is a short walk from the hotel and it is in close proximity to The Sparrow Beach Club, which is a great place to swim. There are two ways to get into town: If you turn left when you leave the hotel, facing the beach, then you miss the hill but it is slightly muddy. If you turn right, you have to go up a steep hill, but it is also extremely scenic and great exercise. You might also see tortoises.
It is also a quiet place to stay, which is a huge bonus.
It would be nice if there could be a fridge in the room as one is advised not to drink the water and we had to purchase it.
I left a few of my books in the room and I hope that someone has found a good use for them.
Location is great, feels like a bit of paradise. In addition to the outlook and quiet you are walking distance from the town (up and over the hill, 13 mins for us!) or along the beach and salt pond to Sparrows Beach Bar and Big Sands (10 mins) for gorgeous swimming. We ate two evening meals prepared by Holly - both were good, but her prices are not especially competitive. Sandra is helpful and welcoming and organised taxis for us, also recommended things to do such as Ashton Lagoon and Chatham Bay.
Maintenance challenges, weather, water issues, electricity and supplies are just some of the challenges faced by the tourist industry in SVG. After several stays in different island hotels and guest houses in the SVG we'd rate this one pretty good and in the sometimes difficult circumstances of being an hotellier in such a tropical and remote spot Sandra delivers a lovely and comfortable place to stay.

Stopping off at Canuoan & Mayreau journey time 2 hours. Sandra the owner arranged for a taxi to meet us & a lovely home cooked supper was prepared by Holly the Chef. Rooms are clean , spacious & comfortable. A small fridge inc. Some of the family rooms have kitchens. We had a large terrace facing the beach. Beach outside hotel is pretty and natural. A short walk away is Big Sand Beach with Jack Sparrows Restaurant & Bar, with lots of sun beds. You can walk into The nearby town of Clifton. If you are feeling energetic a steep walk up to The Old Fort Hill is rewarded with beautiful views of the Islands.

We had a very nice and relaxed time at the Islanders' Inn. Sandra is very warm-hearted, friendly and helpful. Her pretty little and family-run accommodation is right by the sea on a beautiful natural beach. Everything is self-built. The rooms are simple but completely adequate and also very comfortable, with a beautiful wooden terrace and a great view of the sea. There is breakfast, which costs extra and is very tasty. The accommodation is about a 15-minute walk from Clifton, where there are various restaurants and shops, etc. The island can be easily explored on foot if you like hiking.

Sandra was a lovely host and Holly cooks amazing meals.
Would definitely recommend.
Natural beach and love the cows just wandering past.

Having read all the positive reviews, we were looking forward to our two night stopover in Union at The Islanders Inn.
We met Clyde and his wife 3 days earlier and they let us leave one case with them whilst we stayed on Mayreau before returning for a further 2 nights.
On our return we were greeted by Clyde and his wife , we even presented them with a pineapple as they kindly looked after our case. The atmosphere was quite jovial and Clyde asked us if we were eating with him that night, we felt a little pressured, but as the hotel is quite isolated, we decided to eat there. I made a joke which Clyde totally misunderstood , and took offence at. The atmosphere changed dramatically, I apologised, but decided I did not want to eat there as there was clearly an atmosphere. When I told Clyde, I’d changed my mind about eating that evening . He went berserk, and told him we weren’t welcome and to leave immediately. At one stage he threatened to “Mash” me. Only 5 minutes earlier his wife requested the final EC$170 which I duly paid. I requested this money back which he refused. So he’d taken my money in full and was throwing me out at 5.00pm .
Next morning I went to the Tourist office to complain about the treatment. They were horrified and immediately got in touch with the police. We then went with the police and a representative from Tourist office back to see Clyde and request a refund. Both he and his wife gave an entirely different story to the police, at one stage calling me a drunk. He refused to any form of refund.
A follow up to this story.
This case was handed to the main Tourist Office in St Vincent’s who were not happy with his behaviour and actions , I think they leant on him to make a refund I received EC$84, which represents 15% of the money I paid. However I did receive a nice letter from the Tourist office apologising for Clyde’s behaviour saying his behaviour is not representative of the rest of the Islanders. This we found to be true as everyone else we ventured on were absolutely charming.
Please feel free to look at previous Trip Advisor reports I’ve posted , all of which are balanced, truthful and fair.
