The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Dining Experience

The on-site Gingerbread Cafe was a highlight of my stay! I look forward to enjoying their delicious meals, particularly the West Indian chicken curry and seafood pasta. Each meal we had was a good experience. The happy hour from 3-6 PM was unbeatable too, with fantastic drinks at great prices. I highly recommend trying the Monday night barbecue; it’s not to be missed! The food is reasonably priced, making it easy to dine frequently at the hotel as we had an excellent culinary experience throughout our stay.

Stunning Ocean Views

Each room at the Belair Beach Hotel offers amazing views of the ocean. I stayed in a two-bedroom suite with a spacious balcony that had a perfect view of the beach and the beautiful Caribbean Sea. It was amazing to relax there at sunset. The suite was equipped with a full kitchen, making it convenient for us to prepare meals as needed. The comfort and cleanliness of the room added to our overall experience, making it feel like a true home away from home.

Comfortable Accommodations

My family and I appreciated the spacious accommodations at Belair Beach. The two-bedroom layout allowed everyone to have some privacy while still being close enough for family time. The beds were comfortable and provided the perfect setting for restful nights after long, fun-filled days at the beach. I found having two full bathrooms very convenient for our family dynamics. It made getting ready for dinner and outings quick and easy!

Fantastic Family Fun

We had a wonderful time enjoying the various entertainment options available. There were beach activities and the location's calm waters were perfect for snorkeling. We also had a great time at the Monday night barbecue with entertainment that made it feel like a lively get-together. The television in the room had great programming options for our downtime, ensuring that we had plenty of ways to unwind during our stay, making it suitable for both relaxation and family bonding.

I had a lovely stay at this resort. It’s set in a quieter area, away from the hustle of Phillipsburg but conveniently close for those who want to explore. The beach is stunning, and the views from the rooms are breathtaking. However, the service can be inconsistent, and some facilities felt outdated. Overall, it's a good value for a relaxing getaway.

I had an incredible time at the Bel Air Beach Hotel! The stunning views from my room were absolutely breathtaking, and the accommodations were spacious and clean. The staff, especially at the Gingerbread Café, really made our experience special, although there were a couple of instances where service could be improved.

Our stay had its highlights and low points. The location was absolutely beautiful, right on Little Bay, which made beach access so convenient. While our room was spacious and had a gorgeous view of the ocean, it was definitely showing signs of wear and in need of some remodeling. Service was attentive and helpful when needed, but the overall dining experience could have been better. We loved our time at the beach despite these issues.
