My Wife and I went to the Henry Morgan Hotel Nov 21- 28 2012.
Check in was quick, we were handed a key card, safe key and 2 towel cards and our room # (127). (There were only general directions to the room, no assistance with luggage and no ramps). All buidings and walkways are off the ground.
The rooms and closets are large & cleaned daily:all were equiped with large screen lcd tvs. Our Bathroom was equiped with toilet, sink (with ample counter space) and shower, all plumbing was fully functional. Some rooms have shower and tub. be sure to have your travel agent request shower and tub if thats what you like.There was a large balcony with chairs, that faced a garden area. Note: if you are a light sleeper request a second floor room; the walkways and floors are made of wood and transfer sound easly, as we are sound sleepers this didn't bother us. The only problem with all rooms is that there isn't enough light in the rooms, due to no overhead lights and wooden shades on the wall lights.
The Buffet is cafeteria style service. The hot dishes were hot and the cold dishes cold. there was roast beef, steak, roast pork,pork chops, fresh fish
(varied species), lobster or crab soup/stew? potatoes or rice & varied hot & cold vegtables for lunch and dinner. for beakfast eggs any style cooked @ the grill, bacon, ham or sausages were the meats offered,cerial toast,jam & marmalade & sweet buns.
Henry Morgan has three bars, buffet, lobby & beach/pool only waited to be served twice.
Pool and Beach were good. If you are not a diver there isn't much to do at this Hotel.There are some tours to East End which are excelent. There, is an onsite dive shop (TGI) located at the pool. Diving from the beach and from the dive boats are available on the Island. I was there to be recertified after a 42 yr break. I booked with COCONUT TREE DIVERS in West End a PADI Certified dive operator.They picked me up each mornning at 8 am, took the water taxi back once ($2/ trip) rest of the times someone from Coconut Tree Divers brought me back around 4 pm. Gay and PJ Roundtree are the owners of Coconut Tree Divers; They and there dive instructors are conscientous certified professonals that make you feel like a wellcome friend not just another client.Try them out if you are diving $30/dive all equip inclduded when I was there.See them on Facebook or Scubaboard.com
Lastly yes they have fleas on the beaches.I was told if you apply baby oil all over it will drown them before they bite. Apply over sun screen.

Hotel is well located on the beach..we are snorkelers and it is perfect for this right off the beach.
the staff is frendly and helpful especially Andrea,George and Aldolfo in the dining room.
the room was clean and comfortable but showed some signs of wear.

We just arrived home from staying at the Henry Morgan for a week. Our room ended up being villa 6, which we did not book for, we just booked for a regular room. It was great. We had a kitchen (which was not stocked with anything, we had our own kettle because there is no coffee makers in the rooms, also no clocks in our room) dinning room, and living room, one bathroom on the main floor and one in our upstairs bedroom. The only downside to the villa was it was in the back forty.
The main dinning room where the buffets were served was not very appealing. The dinning room had set serving times. So bring snacks with you because it seems like a long stretch between lunch and supper. The food itself was awful. The food was always cold. The few times that we opted to eat there was not very appealing. Desserts were the same thing for every lunch and dinner. Never switched up. Thank god that there were restuarants all around you. Bananarama had really good food and seemed to have nightly entertainment. We ate there three times. We also went to the westend to eat at The Argentina Grill. Food there was to die for. We all had steak.
The snorkling there is amazing. My husband did some scuba diving while we were there as well. He totally enjoyed his dive with the sharks. Would do it again.
The staff at the resort hardly spoke english so be prepared for that and they totally cater to the Italians.
On a final note, make sure that on your return home, make sure your luggage is in the lobby for 630am. We had our luggage loaded onto a wrong truck and ended up delaying the flight home for half an hour waiting for our luggage to arrive at the airport. The sunwing reps were not very helpful with our situation.

Our family of four (kids 12 and 9) travelled from Jan 9-16
.
Airport- You get off the plane onto the tarmac and go into the airport. There are 4 lines in which you go through their customs and stamp your passport. They will staple a piece of paper to your passport. Do not lose this as you will need it when you depart or else you could pay up to $150 to replace this. You pick up your bags and have them scanned through a single scanner. They did not seem to be looking at the scanner as our bags went through. As you start to exit a sunwing rep asks where you are going. Patrick or Lucy show you where to bring your bags and you pack onto small buses. Very tight quarters but at least they are airconditioned. It is about a 20 min drive to the resort.

Registration- It is somewhat time consuming as you do get the pushy people who are determined to register first. You get your room key, the safe key, and your remote. They had a man playing music, refreshments and finger food while you waited.

Rooms- They walkways are raised platforms with stairs and are a little bit difficult to negotiate your luggage. We stayed in room 225 supersaver room ( end unit). It was a standard room with two double beds. It was clean and simple( exactly as I was expecting).Sure there was no fixtures covering the bathroom lights but I was ok with that as I knew with the wood floors and roof it would be rustic. The water pressure was stronger than at home, the A/C worked great, the hammocks were comfy, the beds were fine ( and I have back problems). There was a note to place all bathroom toilet paper in a garbage. (bathrooms in the lobby did not have this note, and I am expecting they do not have great sewage treatment plants) Yes we were given 1 bottle of water each but we just kept filling it in the numerous filling stations including the gym. Our maid service was great, we had ample towels , face cloths, etc and had beautiful towel art every day. I know others who did not have the same luck with the maid service as we did though.

The Resort- There was always staff cleaning. The staff here are very hard working and need to be commended for this. The animation crew are always around and friendly. There is alot of walking but we did not have issues with this .

Bars- We alway found something we would drink. Somedays the bar list was 5-6 types and others it was 10-12. It depended on the availability. You have to remember . EVERYTHING needs to be shipped to the island and it depends on the mainland, weather, boat availability etc. They do have a funny rule though. We brought Bubbas to use and they were not allowed to fill them . We were allowed to order a couple of drinks each and pour them in but they wern't allowed to do this. We never had a problem getting more than 1 drink per person either

Food- Would I consider the food pretty average Yes but you could always find something. It seems to cater to the Italiian menu a little more with more salads etc. Anyone I talked to at any other resort with a buffett, it seemed what we were eating was pretty standard. The wait staff was great. They always had a smile. When I went for my coffee, they remembered how I took it. We did eat out one night to Bite on the Beach ( too the right as you are looking at the water). The food was really good and it was also Canadian owned. They also have resident moray eels and a large baracuda that they feed.

Beach- The sand was beautiful and soft. Henry Morgan likely has the deepest beachfront along West Bay. Usually had no problem finding a beach lounge. When we would come back from snorkling around 11:30 is when we would have difficulty but we went to the pool for a bit
and by lunch time people would be leaving for lunch and we would would snag a few longers for the rest of the afternoon. The young man that rakes the beach is great. He really works hard and always has a smile for you.. There are beach vendors that walk back and forth along the beach selling their wares. A simple No Thank you takes care of them. I found that using your manners got you alot futher there. If you do not want to be bugged, stay higher on the beach. They days in which the cruise ships are in, the more beach vendors there are and more people wandering the beachfront. Also on Roatn, if you pay in american dollars you will get your change back in american dollars.There are also alot of gaurds along the beachfront. Every establisment had their own and then also police would occasionally patrol. Also my daughter and I would walk up to the main road to look for a few shops and we were not concerned for our safety. We did not have any issues with sand fleas till the evening before we left. It had started to rain and we were outside on the beach for the fire show. The next morning I likely had a hundred and they were itchy. We did a few things wrong. I had rained, we were on the beach at dark and no repellent. Our bad.

Snorkling- AMAZING- You could snorkle in front of our resort but you do not see near as much. The best snorkling is (looking at the water) to your left. You can walk down to the "iguana wall" , just past infinity bay resort. If you look closely you can find iguana's on the rock. The reef comes very close to shore there and you can snorkle in and around the reef. To get to the 2 reef walls farther out the best place to go is to the infinity bay sign and go straight out there. They may have a large floating climber in the water, but go out directly behind it. There are usually a couple of guys in kayaks that can help direct you out and sit on the edge of the "basin". We seen octapus,squid,baracuda,parrot fish the length of your arm etc etc etc. I did not see a see turtle but others I talked too did. I also heard the diving is the best also. We snorkled with the kids every day.

Ziplining- We went on a tour sunwing was recommending with Caribe Sky Canopy tour. We have zipped before and we all enjoyed ourselves immensley. They guides were great and we were not concerned for our safety at all. They had short zips and really long zips ( maybe 2000 ft) that the kids had to go with a guide or they would not be heavy enough to make it across. We also sprayed for mosquitoes before we left the resort. Did not see any and no bites.

Sunwing Reps- I have heard some negative comments about the reps ( Patrick and Lucy)but with did not have any major issues. When you book an excursion though, be aware that they need a minimum amount of people to go for the price they are quoting. if they do not get the amount they need , the excursion can be cancelled or you will pay more by having a private tour. They support certain excursions as with all reps. We had wanted to go to gumbalimba park . They did not support this excursion. I wish I would of taken more inititive to find someone else to take us there as I heard from another traveller that they really enjoyed it. Live and learn I guess
Leaving- If you are coming back to Toronto, you have to have your bags at reception at 6:30 am and you leave for the airport at 7:30. Our flight out was about 10:50 ish. Your best bet is to have one person get in line for the check in (straight ahead) and another person get in line to pay the visitor tax( when you walk in, to the left). I have not seen it except in Roatan, hand written plane tickets. Wow! You go to the next stop and they take your receipt for the visitors tax and the paper they staple in your passport when you arrive and stamp your passport. Your carryons get scanned and you go through the metal detector. I was patted down and my daughter had the the wand waved over her. Alot of people stated that the women were checked more then men ????? Then onto the tarmac and home. The flight used to have to stop in Belize but not anymore. We were the first flight to come home directy
It was a good family vacation. You just need to go in with realistic expectations or you will be disappointed. We also managed to get great weather the whole week
