LOL... What a perfect example of having to take "consumer" reviews with a BIG grain of salt...of the three reviews for OM Resort:
#1 - 1 out of 5 stars - headline: "A place to avoid"
#2 - 4 out of 5 stars - headline: "Pleasantly wonderful"
#3 - 2 out of 5 stars - headline: "Quiet resort with growning pains"
All within 2 months of each other...what are you supposed to make of this?

That's just an option seeing as she wanted reviews. I try to stay clear of places with conflicting reviews or get more info like I did with Nanny Estates by asking here. I don't need a hit or miss vacation.Everyone has their own taste, and you can tell when someone is griping for petty reasons.Though, I'd take Hotel El Magnifico and their graveyard next door over Ocean Manor since their reviews are consistant.
LOL... that is a funky (but nice) place! I have a friend coming in on Sunday... got him the last room available there...
I considered staying there but I KNEW everyone would be scared as H*** when they see the little cemetery and I wouldn't hear the end of it. Lol, I would have found it exciting, given all the ghost stories(jumbee and lahjabess?) we've heard about from all over the Caribbean. Plus the lace is very chic.

Ocean Manor is a very nice place. It was purchased by a Canadian Company a couple of years ago and they poured a lot of money into renovating the place. The rooms, pool, restaurant, location are all good. It is right on the beach but the beach is only fair at best at that location. It is about a mile from town; nice walk along the beach during the day but take a cab at night as the beach is very dark at night. It's not 5 star but is overall very good. You are near enough to the town; 20 minute walk, 3 minute cab ride but far enough to get away from the hustle and bustle. You'll like it.

On tripadvisors, there is an Ocean Manor Resort topic with a lot of responses. They all have said good things about it.

One thing to keep in mind about Ocean Manor... there is still construction going on directly next to the resort - The Victorian condo complex. I dont know how much it will disturb you if staying there, but it's something to consider... They'll likely be done in about 6 months.
And if you stay at El Magnifico... have breakfast and/or lunch at Claro...it's excellent!!! (and free WiFi)

do me a favor if you can remember and let me know how your friend thought of his stay at Ocean Manor.... Thanks.
Yeah I read a reveiw that said the beach in front of the hotel was a bit rocky... not good!
If the beach isn't that great at the location of the hotel can you recomend a nice part of the beach to go to? I would love to spend some time on a clean beach with clear water, white sand and palm trees...
Thanks for your help!
is Claro close to the Ocean Manor Resort?
We didn't go the all inclusive route because we didn't want to feel so obligated to stay in our area through out the day to eat food. So if you have any other restaurant suggestions keep them coming. THX!
i stayed there in march 2007

In response to the 2 questions, walk along the beach into the town and rent a lounge chair or take a cab. The sand there is white and the surf not as rough as in front of the Ocean Manor. The Claro is a small but good restaurant in front of the El Magnifico which is also near Janet's which is a good supermarket in case you need anything. Both are about a 15 minute walk along the beach from Ocean Manor.
