卡瑪聖馬丁斯飯店(Karma St. Martin's)

Cannot comment on the hotel side of this establishment. My review is based solely on visiting as a day tripper to St Martins. We called in hoping to get some lunch but I have to say, the prices are extortionate! How can you possibly justify £21 for a crab sandwich? I totally appreciate “island overheads” having visited Scilly many times but these prices are in a different league of their own. Two teas, one slice of carrot cake £17. Totally ridiculous.

The views are absolutely stunning, it’s just absolutely beautiful! Please visit this place for yourself and make up your minds for yourselves! This is our first time here and we are really enjoying and having a great time! The place is very clean, the rooms are nice. The food is lovely and you have a choice! The staff are so good and helpful. For those that are making comments about members, please note that members have paid a premium upfront to become members and then pay ongoing huge costs on a yearly basis! And in my opinion we have every right to experience what we pay for! Well done Karma for another excellent venue! We will definitely come back again.

We had dinner here one evening during our tour of the islands. It is the only hotel on St Martins, and is found on the shore on the western side of the island, right next to Lower Town Quay. It provides a great dining experience with views of the sea. Good food and friendly staff. If you want to dress up for the evening, it’s definitely worth a visit.

Whereas the position of this hotel is 5*, the interior sadly doesn't match up. The hotel is relying on its sea edge location but has neglected to maintain the rooms and public areas to a luxury standard - the rooms are tired and jaded and desperately in need of refurbishment. In particular, the bathroom looked shabby, less than clean and we were provided with cheap looking toiletries which were locked to the wall, not unlike a Premier Inn! Why not use quality local products, which we received at the New Inn on Tresco, which was approximately half the price of a night here! In addition to that, the door handle to both the bathroom and the main door came off in my hand. It's a great shame, because this hotel has a location to die for . The ' lounge' upstairs, a former dining area, looked more like a random furniture store room, despite its beautiful views - woefully run down and under utilised. In the garden area, wooden tables and chairs were provided but they were dreadfully uncomfortable and there were no cushions. There was a single small sofa and table, also without cushions and which looked like it had been purchased from ALDI. As the hotel was right beside the quay, day visitors were using the garden which isn't an issue, but surely a designated area should be set aside for residents who should not be left without a seat at busy times given the premium price charged! The staff were helpful and friendly, the food was good although the restaurant seemed lacking in direction - no-one seemed to be in charge. Management generally seemed to be very much behind closed doors. We thought we had paid a premium price fir a luxury hotel but this is sadly not the case, apart from its position.

A fantastic hotel Stunning location Food excellent Rooms good Staff very friendly and efficient, always smiling & helpful Thanks to all of for providing us with a fantastic week , the staff were always on hand to help Look forward to returning in 2024

A lovely location right by the sea, with great views, pleasant well furnished rooms and a good restaurant. Not inexpensive, but worth it for an occasional treat. Well placed for visits to the other islands.

Wonderful location, attentive, helpful staff. Great food and spa treatments. Dog friendly. Beautiful island, with lovely residents. We’ll be back next year. Great wines by the glass if you want to try something interesting. It’s our dog’s favourite hotel.

This hotel has a bar open to non-residents with great views out towards the other islands. Prices are reasonable given the location and views and service was good. Lower Quay is right next to the Karma Hotel. Very convenient for a stop on arrival or a rest and refreshing drink before departure.
