Not recommended

WAYNE_P, Feb 2024

Not recommended. More economical to take a taxi to / from location. Most Island taxi companies have newer, better maintained vehicles.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

We would very much appreciate it if all you disgruntled customers who have issues with other companies would refrain from posting your negative, scandalous, ambiguous and unwanted comments on our page. You're creating unnecessary negative publicity. If you did not have an experience with us, then please DO NOT post your reviews here.

Shirley Heights

Michelle_B, Sep 2023

The driver and her husband our tour guide was very nice and knowledgeable. Pros: 1. The music entertainment was nice. Cons: 1. Did not make it in time for the sunset, driver picked us up 15 mins. late. He did offer us another night to come back to see it for free but we had other plans the other nights. 2. Food was expensive for what you get, limited vendors and the only people there was the staff serving you and people from other resorts. It’s something you can get from your own resort evening event. 3. Went on Thursday and it was less then fifty people there.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Good day, thank you for your honest review. We apologize that your experience wasn't the best. Shirley Heights usually has a lot more people so it is possibly the time of year and the day of the week that affected the numbers. It was a cloudy day and that may also have contributed to the early disappearance of the sun. It had not yet set completely when you arrived but it was also not visible due to the clouds. We are happy that you found our guide and driver to your satisfaction. Again, please accept our apologies for your experience and please contact us anytime you return for a visit for a discounted tour of your choice.

Scam

David_S, Jun 2022

This is a scam. These are not your tickets to get in Shirley Heights festival. Book your ride independently and buy the tickets there.

Response from Host, Jun 2022

First of all, we apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced with us. However, we must point out that your booking clearly stated that tickets and meals were NOT included in the price. You received what you paid for, which is TRANSPORTATION to and from the event. We DO offer full package tours inclusive of meals and tickets, but this was NOT what you booked (please refer to your booking for confirmation). We therefore cannot be held responsible for your misinterpretation of your package as all the information is clearly available on the site. You advised persons in your review to book transportation separately as you actually did, but apparently did not realize. You also failed to mention in your review that despite the misunderstanding, all parties had a wonderful time at the venue talking and laughing with us throughout the evening. Again, while the misunderstanding was not our fault, we do apologize that you were disgruntled and thank you for your review. Enjoy the remainder of your stay in our beautiful island.

Do not book with them!!

Ariann_C, Jul 2021

Do not book with this company!! I paid for this excursion two days before the date, the driver called me the day before to confirm the 4pm pickup. The day of the event the driver called me at 3:09pm stating the place had overbooked so my reservation would not be honored!! How do you call someone less than an hour before pickup to cancel them? I was staying at the Royalton and thank God for them because they called and got me a reservation. I was there celebrating my mother’s birthday so it turned out great! Again do not book with them! Unprofessional!

Response from Host, Jul 2021

We wish to apologize again for the unfortunate situation which occured and hope that you and your mother enjoyed the time spent at Shirley Heights. However it is very unfortunate that you have chosen to tell only half of the story and omit details which is customary for disgruntled customers. In light of this, you never mentioned that we tried contacting you several times unsuccessfully. When the driver was finally successful in getting ahold of you through the hotel, all this was explained to you. You also did not mention the fact that we were able to secure a reservation for you before the cancellation. Or the fact that negotiations were made to accommodate you and your mother where the driver offered to take you at 5 p.m. or 6:30p.m. Is that what you call unprofessional?! The driver even contacted you again to confirm your pick up time and was told that you were at the event. Shirley Heights is not ours to control. Every effort was made to contact you earlier before the time mentioned. We sincerely apologize for the unfortunate situation, but discouraging others and giving us that horrible rating is rather unfortunate and extreme.
