The apartments are all privately owned and it is the luck of the draw what you get, I paid extra for internet in the apartment it did not work and could not get a refund. The time of year we went October it was quite but the weather was very good, the in-house restaurant was good but basic, the local restaurant was rather hit or miss, and most were getting ready to close for winter. I would not go back but we would return to Santa Tomas.

the appartment was obviously private due to the furnishings excellent sitting dining area with satelite tv fully loaded kitchen seperate bedroom and big bathroom with bath and shower cubicle the staff were very polite and helpfull large pool with plenty of sunbeds and we had a large balcony with sea and pool view

well, what can we say this is now our 7th year back to hamilton court it is superb great for young famlies or couples, great staff polite and helpful and always a better class of holiday maker here. if you like noise pubs fish n chips its not for you! but if you like quality and a great location look no further we are going again this year in july for 2 weeks. Thank you to Jesus and his great team.

We booked in to the Hamilton court appartments on a self catering basis. We had a two bedroom appartment on the first floor. The quality of service and cleaning were the best wehave experienced in a long time. When we ate in the restaurant the food was excellent with friendly staff.
Access to the beach was good but a hire car is recommended as there is not much entertainment in the area. There are busses running to most larger towns but a car is more convenient. The pool facilities were good but despite notices forbidding reservation of sun beds there were several antisocial types who
ignored them.
I do not know what the area is like in high season but there are signs of the fried breakfast and fish and chip brigade, Hamilton Court should move more upmarket which would make it more attractive to the discerning visitor

We stayed in room 305, first impressions were good. Apartment was a good size for the 5 of us and was very clean and tidy. It was very well equipped and had everything we needed, including an iron and ironing board! The only downside was that our apartment bathroom constantly smelled horrible (except for 30mins after the maid had cleaned it). When we went out and came back it was awfull, we had to buy some air freshner from the supermarket which cost us

We have just returned from a 2 week holiday in hamilton court and we are so pleased we have. If you are looking for a quiet holiday then this is the place for you but with 3 children who easily get bored its not the place to be. Santo thomas consists of one long street with 2 mini supermarkets which are the same and about 4 gift shops.

There is one road in and out and no coastal road at all. You can walk into son bou which we did but regretted. It took us about 1 1/2 hours and was like walking in a desert.

The walk was mostly on a sand path and it was so tiring to do. Then we had it to do on the way back home too, buses dont run from santo thonmas to son bou. BIG tip if you have children, stay on the beach by the hotel, if you walk to the left to son bou beach its full of nudists, if you walk right to the little baech past the cafe on the rocks its a propper nudist beach, no warnings at all. WOW was that embarasing, we made a quick exit and told the kids to look at the planes in the sky LMAO.

The hotel restaurant's in santo thomas all seem to have the same menu so not much variety in food.

The hotel and staff were great, 1 min walk out the back gate to the beach which is great when you have lilo's buckets, towels etc to carry. Our worst complaint was the room we had, it was room 4 on the ground floor right next door to the bar/restaurant and boy is it noisy. It closes at about 11.30-12.00 but about 7 am the maintainance guy is making noise outside cleaning up and its also right next door to the kid zone room too.

To make matters even worse for 1 week of our stay we had a group of single teenagers in the room above us playing load music and banging about till all hours. They took over the pool and made it so the children didnt feel safe in there with the lads dive bombing into the pool all day. As always you have to go out at 7.30 am to reserve a sun lounger or you wont get round the pool at all till about 6pm when they all go for supper.

We also noticed a few spanish people just walking in off the beach and using the pool for a while then going again, there is no pool attendant/lifeguard to stop this either. None of them pay attention to the sign that says pool is for residents of hamilton vourt only. One of them even kicked my daughter in the face in the pool and didnt seem to care.

If you do go i recommend Las Dunas for food and entertainment, its a lovely friendly place and we are so glad its there or things would have been really bad. All in all it was

This is the first time that we have stayed in Hamilton court apartments. Now I am a fussy wotsit (ask my wife) but this place was fantastic.

Clean, great location, good pool and a two minute walk from a lovely beach.

Staff are very friendly, and the Kidzone is smashing.

Entertainment was low key, but there is enough to do in the resort, and Las Dunas is a good laugh.

We will be returning!
