Hotel Mont Vernon

The Hotel Mont Vernon has been converted into residential and vacation apartments.  The one we stayed in, managed by 40weeks, was comfortable and the concierge service for this self-catering apartment was excellent.  Mont Vernon is well located between Orient Bay and Grand Case, which is an excellent location on the French side of the island.

We rented a studio from a beautiful couple Robert and his wife. The studio was outstanding. kitchen was the best I have ever seen it had everything and more. The view was to die for. The bed was so comfortable. Everything was new and had everything and more in it. I would stay there again!!  Mont Vernon was still has lots of damage from the Hurricane 2 1/2 years ago. No pool, no front desk and still lot of construction works around  parking wasn’t great and lots of walking. Beach in walking distance was very nice!!  Thanks again Richard loved our stay!!!

The Hotel Mont Vernon is not a hotel anymore, but a series of individually owned studio apartments. This is a repeat of my review of "Luxury Studio Sea View in Orient Bay" which are for some condos owned by the same owner, Amaury.

There are different studios available, we have now seen three, and they all seem to be furnished about the same. Most have an excellent view of Orient Bay beach and you can listen to the sounds of the roaring waves. The units are nicely renovated (although there are signs that they are older). The location, right on one end of the beautiful 2km Orient Bay beach is superb and the units are a great value compared with other options on the beach.

Functional but limited kitchen and cooking supplies, 4 of most things, burners but no oven, coffee maker, washing machine and outside drying rack. Sponge and detergent are provided, but no starter foods like salt or oil - so best to bring some basics if you plan to cook (or buy them in one of the two convenient supermarkets about a five minute drive away (Leader Price and Super U). Each unit has its own satellite box. Two folding chairs, umbrellas and beach towels were provided - which was convenient and saved money by not having to rent lounge chairs on beaches. Excellent and quiet air conditioning and plenty of hot water in the shower with decent water pressure and a hair dryer. There is a safe, but space for clothing is limited.

We had one request, and Amaury showed up within 2 hours. I'm sure that he would have provided other items if we had asked, but we had what we needed.

There is still considerable post hurricane reconstruction ongoing at the Mont Vernon complex, which will probably take more than another year. Work starts at 8am and was mostly pretty quiet. Lower parking lot turns to mud when it rains. The tennis courts and pool are not functional. The onsite pizzeria is awesome, has quite a varied menu, is reasonably priced and is closed on Sundays.

This was our second stay here and we would definitely return.

It’s true Mont Vernon is no longer a hotel. As a previous commenter noted,  it’s a collection of apartments, some of which are rented to visitors, others of which are occupied by local residents. It’s also true that the photos are, after Irma, no longer accurate. The photos posted by Lmyre in November 2018 better represent what the complex looks like now. There is no convenience store (although perhaps there was pre-Irma?), and other than on our first night, we never saw the concierge again. Repairs are indeed ongoing (at the building across from us, the workers were there every day). That said, the studio my husband and I stayed in (in the Tortola building) was clean, pretty, and comfortable and did have, as noted in the “About” section, a refrigerator, a kitchenette, and air conditioning—not to mention our favorite amenity: a patio with a fabulous view of the beach. Mont-Vernon Pizza (which I assume is what the “About” section means by “the on-site restaurant”) is a few yards away from the main lobby and has fabulous (and inexpensive) food; we ate there almost every night of our 2-week stay. Since Hotel Mont Vernon itself no longer exists, my "Excellent" rating is for Studio Orient Bay, which we rented from Amaury Meziere (if you’d like further details, please see my “Can’t wait to return!” review under “Studio Orient Bay”).

It's not a hotel..."check-in and out" for us was easily accomplished at the top of the hill, on the left of the pizza place... walk in and ask for Hypolith. Our room was very clean, had easy access to the beach on the first floor of Unit 4 and seemed very safe over the eight days we stayed there. We parked in the "tennis court" side lot with no problems. The Mont Vernon Pizza place at the top of the hill was excellent for when we were looking for something tasty, easy and cheap. There was no wifi available during our stay in our room, but we could easily connect with help from the very accommodating staff at the pizza establishment. 
Would definitely stay here again!

Amazing unite!!!!

Great value and awesome views

Stayed at Studio Orient Bay inside the former Hotel Mont Vernon

Perfect Location for Us

Lots of construction still taking place in Feb 2022 from Hurricane Irma.  The pool has not reopened and there are no signs of any start of construction.  We were misled when we rented for a month as a pool was listed as an amenity.  Construction takes place nearly all weekdays, but is moving very slowly.

Still under construction from Hurricane irma

﻿
﻿
﻿The old Mt Vernon was an all-inclusive hotel till 2006 when it was turned into a condo association.  Before, and since Hurricane Irma, individual studios were bought and renovated.  Many are available on a rental basis. 

However, the current website is totally misleading.  There is a reception room, a ghost-room, with no service. There are no amenities; the pool is in ongoing repair, though no work is being done as I write. There are a couple of narrow access roads should one need to drive close to one’s studio for luggage or grocery transportation, but they are chained off at 6 pm daily, and all day Sunday. A flashlight, after 6:30 pm, is a crucial accessory.  This is not a friendly option to anyone with compromised mobility. 

Though there are some well-appointed studios, with stunning views, I fully agree that TA would be prudent to remove the listing as it stands; it is outdated and completely misleading.

Website needs updating as this is not a hotel

We've been staying in these studios for years now and really enjoy the location and the place.  Having said this, IRMA happened and the place needs a lot of work.  I feel sorry for the folks who live there now because not much is happening.  If you go - there is no pool as it was destroyed.  Beware of renters who claim all amenities are available...they are not.  Out studio was GREAT and we had WIFI.  Parking is a challenge as you do not want to leave your car in the old parking lot by the tennis courts; they no longer exist either and there are a lot of cars that are stolen on the island or broken into.  

Given that IRMA happened, this place is in rough shape

Mont Vernon is a collection of apartments, some of which are rented to visitors. The rest are lived in by locals.
The buildings, pool and facilities were heavily damaged by last year's (2017) hurricane. Repairs are ongoing and the pictures are from pre-hurricane. 
Why it is called Hotel Mont Vernon after all these years is a continuing disgrace for TripAdvisor.

This has not been a hotel for 10 years

We could tell that this was an amazing place in its day. The beautiful three-tiered pool overlooking the ocean must’ve been spectacular. There have been few repairs here and no work going on. The pool has not been touched. Most buildings don’t look like they’ve been touched. Even handrails on the steps down to the beach are all broken. It seems as if management has walked away from these buildings. Our particular apartment was quite beautiful (building #2, Antigua) and the view was second to none. We watched many beautiful sunrises from the comfort of our bed. But there are no amenities here anymore for this large complex. We also had our rental car broken into in the parking lot here. €2800 in damage. 😕
