HI, WE FIRST VISITED THE HIGHLAND BEACH IN NOV 2003.WE WENT B/B , WHICH IS ALL WE NEEDED, BECAUSE THERE WERE PLENTY OF BARS AND RESTRUANTS LOCAL.THE HOTEL HAS A RECEPTION AREA WITH SEATING AND NEWSPAPERS, AND NEXT TO THAT IS ANOTHER AREA WITH COMFORTABLE SEATING A FAN AND SATALITE TV.YOU WALK THROUGH TO THE MAIN POOL AREA, WHERE THERE IS A LARGE POOL WITH A BABY POOL TO THE SIDE.THERE ARE LOTS OF SUN LOUNGERS AND PARASOLS AND AS SOON AS YOU GET THERE A POOL ATTENDANT WILL FETCH YOU A TOWEL, OR ANYTHING ELSE YOU MAY NEED. THEY CAN’T DO ENOUGH FOR YOU. THERE IS ANOTHER POOL AROUND THE OTHER SIDE OF THE HOTEL WHICH IS A BIT QUIETER.THE HOTEL IS SET IN LOVELY WELL KEPT GARDENS, WITH LOTS OF SHADE UNDER THE MANY COCONUT TREES. THERE ARE THREE RESTRUANTS IN THE HOTEL FOR YOU TO CHOOSE FROM . THE WAITERS WILL SERVE YOU FOOD AND DRINK AROUND THE POOL WHENEVER YOU WISH.THE ROOMS ARE SPACIOUS AND COMFORTABLE. WE HAD A TWIN ROOM WHIH HAD TWO BEDROOMS(BOTH WITH FAN AND A/C). TWO BATHROOMS WITHW/C AND SHOWER.A LOUNGE WITH SETEE AND CHAIRS AND A KITCHEN WITH TABLE AND CHAIR AND A FRIDGE.THE PLACE WAS VERY CLEAN AND WELL KEPT.THE TOWELS LOOK A BIT GRUBBY, BUT THIS IS DUE TO THE WAY THEY ARE WASHED. THERE IS A LAUNDRY SERVICE, WHICH WAS VERY USEFUL AND CHEAP, WE CAME HOME WITH NO LAUNDRY.THERE ARE BALCONIES TO THE BACK AND FRONT OF YOUR ROOMS WITH CHAIRS.THERE’S A SHOP TO THE SIDE OF THE HOTEL WHICH WILL SELL YOU ANY THING.YOU CAN HAVE A MASSAGE (HIGHLY RECOMENDED) THERE’S A BEAUTICIAN, A BARBER, A MINI GYM AND MUCH MORE.THE SURROUNDING AREA HAS MANY SHOPS, BARS AND THE JEWLERS ARE WELL WORTH A VISIT.THE BEACH IS ONLY A FEW MINUTS AWAY. I WOULD REOMEND THE HIGHLAND BEACH RESORT TO ANYONE.
