Absolutely wonderful vacation! We loved the quaint atmosphere of the resort. Everything was close by, there were always a lot of chairs at the beach or pool, the staff was friendly, and the entire resort was so clean! Even though the rooms could use an update, they were incredibly clean and well appointed. We stayed in an ocean view room and the view was gorgeous! All food options were excellent, the drinks were delicious, and the coffee shop was a treat throughout the day. The evening entertainment was great as well. My husband and I wanted a relaxed and easy vacation at a clean and cozy resort - this was beyond perfect! We highly recommend Pineapple Beach Resort if you are looking for a laid back and relaxing vacation. The only reason for the 4 star is the rooms (particularly the bathroom) need an update! Read less

We were at Pineapple Beach Club for out honeymoon. We booked a beach front room and ended up right next to the ocean in a brand spanking new room. It was beautiful! The employees were amazing, Tricia and Oquenya (spelling?) were always so cheerful!! We only went to one A La Carte at the Italian restaurant and it was delicious!! The BEACH is out of this world, we booked a trip to Shirley Heights with GMan, his office is on the beach, he’s the guy if you want to know something or plan something to do. There is also a barbecue snack place called The Outhouse on the property that is also amazing, the views anywhere on this Island are amazing. The resort was always clean, the only thing lacking was bottles of water so we just kept refilling the small bottles they gave us our first day, there self serve are refill stations at both bars. Next time I’ll take my big 40oz water bottle to fill. The resort itself is beautiful and the beach is what made our stay unforgettable. Read less

From start to finish we had a fantastic time. Came with my partner and parents and there was plenty to do for all of us. The real highlights were the beaches, pools and friendly staff. There is a decent gym, fantastic tennis and pickleball courts and lovely pools. We came in early January and the weather was amazing with a few stormy showers that quickly cleared back into bright sunshine. Other reviews suggest this place is tired and dated, but I would call it authentically Caribbean and full of character. Some hotels can feel sterile and soulless, but the Pineapple beach makes you feel instantly relaxed and there’s no pressure to dress up/dress down - you can wear what you like! Other guests are also very friendly and many people made friends here. The Pineapple Grill is definitely worth a few visits as the food quality is exceptional and it was hard to believe it was still part of the all-inclusive package. The Outhouse bar and grill at the top of the hill was incredible and the ribs at lunchtime are to die for. The buffet restaurant Topaz was slightly basic, but we still found plenty of food to enjoy whenever we went there. My only recommendation is that they mix the music up a bit in the main bar as panpipes have become a real earworm, but it is the Caribbean after all. 5* and we will be back. Read less

Special shout out to Eiriene (sorry if incorrect spelling) who was just an absolute joy and we looked forward to seeing her. Nicole is also fabulous. The room was lovely, very cosy and clean. The food was good, would highly recommend the pineapple restaurant where the food is great. We especially enjoyed breakfast in the buffet, a vast selection to fit all. The pools are lovely and clean and the beach is UNREAL! Normally we like to do excursions, but we couldn’t drag ourselves away from this lovely chilled hotel. If you are coming, be excited! Thank you for the best holiday :) Read less

We arrived on Christmas Day to a wonderful Caribbean reception. Our taxi driver loved that we were all wearing our Christmas PJ's. The staff was all very helpful. All meals were excellent. We ate once in the Italian Restaurant, twice in the Pineapple Grill and the rest in the main restaurant/buffet. This is our second time to Pineapple Beach. Our first was in December 2020 during covid and our daughter got engaged at Devil's bridge. This time the resort itself was much more fun - more activities, less fear. We were a group of 9 with waterfront rooms. We had no problem getting chairs. It took me a day or two to figure out when to get new towels for the beach. The New Year's Eve party was top notch for our group. Our group did several of the activities, they played pickle ball, volleyball, worked out in the gym, played ping pong, pool, and the daily scheduled activities on most days. We read on the beach, went swimming and did a private boat tour one day. We loved the coffee shop. I was recovering from a broken leg and the size of the resort was perfect for me. We all had a great time and thank all of the staff for making it such a great trip. We will be back. Read less
