This was a beautiful beach that wasn't too crowded.  Soft, white sand and clear water.  It was a relaxing, beautiful day.

Room was kept very clean, wetroom floor was a nightmare for flooding so lots of very wet towels. Waiting and bar staff superb, extremely friendly & welcoming. Very laid back relaxing vibe in the pool area, right on ghe beach so views superb.

Pretty perfect
A home away from home. Nice host who is extremely helpful. The place is spacious and the rooms are great. We have enjoyed it immensely and really love that everything is pretty close by. No reason to rent a car there are busses going to all places all the time.

A lovely quiet beach across the road .

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

While there are several good restaurants in the area many are quite pricey. The Roti Den offers takeaway type rotis and curry and rice plates (very mild) and is good value.

5/5 - Excellent

Paynes Bay is so beautiful. Quite beach to relax. The sea is stunning. Most of all, the sunset watched from this beach are breathtaking.
