Karma is the only hotel on St Martins - an off island from St Mary's. We booked it for a special one off night and there were some positive aspects to our stay (the welcome drinks, the views, the hospitatable welcome off the boat) but overall we were underwhelmed given how expensive the nightly rate is. Little things like; - you have to pay mini bar prices to eat the standard packet of biscuits in your room - you have to pay to upgrade a normal coffee to anything else at breakfast. - beds are 2 singles rather than a genuine king size - the shower didn't get warm - the towel rail didn't work and looked like it had a temporary repair with tape - the room itself isn't really anything out of the ordinary for the money - the bathtub is relatively narrow. Given we were only staying for 1 night - most of these issues could only be flagged during check out. For the shower issue - I would have expected some kind of compensation being offered.

The entire experience was out of this world. Views to die for, so welcoming and private. The room was absolutely immaculate with outstanding facilities. There is nothing they hadn't thought of. If you love walking, swimming and tranquillity, this is the holiday for you. Great food and wine and the breakfast is exceptional. Everything was so magical, this has been our best holiday ever. Karma has the most beautiful vibe. A truly unforgettable experience.

Beautiful location, friendly staff, just slightly let down by the constant undercurrent of ‘join the Karma club’ aka timeshare. Posters, leaflets, letters in the room and that was after I had explicitly asked not to be sold to as I was paying to have a holiday.

Disappointing stay

Disappointing stay - Karma did not offer any cleaning during our 3 night stay. This was the only hotel that did this during our week in the Isles of Scilly. The overall cleaning and COVID measures were disappointing with a lack of accessible/working hand sanitising stations. To finish on a positive the young staff were cheerful and always willing to help - they are a great plus to the hotel.

I can not say enough positive things about Karma! The staff were so friendly and accommodating... the best I have ever dealt with quite honestly. The food was fantastic, which can be difficult to pull off on an isolated island I am sure, but they did it. Consistently.
