Karma St. Martin's

The property was beautiful. Surrounded by the sea and wildlife. Staff were really helpful and friendly.

The hotel is in the best place in England ! Based on a beautiful Island in the Islands of Scilly , this is as good as it gets ! The hotel is yards from the crystal blue sea and and beaches that must better / equal the Caribbean . The hotel is small and well run with friendly and attentive staff who ensure that you are very well looked after during your stay and even help with boating arrangements to get you to the hotel the best possible way . The views from the restaurant and stunning , looking out across to some of the other islands . We are regular visitors and already have booked another 10 night stay for next year. One of the very few places we always feel very sad to leave but so,look forward to our next visit Thank you to Scott the manager and his whole team at the hotel

Karma St Martins is an idyllic resort hotel with lovely gardens, close to the quay for boat trips to other islands. Bedrooms are good size, large comfortable beds, well-appointed bathrooms. Large lounge and bar area. Good breakfast menu.

Having been sub-contracted to undertake some pre-season safety training for hotel staff, I have been totally stunned by the hotel and its scenery, and by its setting. Bearing in mind it’s the week before opening, the staff cannot have been more accommodating in respect of shuttle and water-taxi connections and support in respect of attention to detail; something that I am extremely grateful for. If this is how they treat contractors, then I can only imagine the refined detail and level of support they give clients. What an amazing experience

Had a fabulous stay at the hotel in late October. Staff very friendly and although I hadn’t said I was disabled they moved our room downstairs and found a step for bath / shower as soon as they saw me with 2 walking sticks. We had booked it as an extra holiday with RCI so it was very reasonable and we couldn’t have afforded it otherwise. It’s worth noting that by the second week in October a lot of the places to eat are closed so it’s very limited choice if you are staying on ST Martins. As most of the Scilly Islands it’s expensive to eat out. Even the pub the Sevenstones inn was reducing its choice of food as it was winding down to winter opening. It’s worth checking out the Isles of Scilly Facebook pages as we found although Little Arthur’s was closed it had a fabulous charity event on that we ate at. Adam’s fish & chips were open one evening as well. To visit other islands you either have to go back to St Marys or use the trips arranged by Karma . These aren’t necessarily planned till the day before due to weather so it can be difficult to plan ahead. It costs roughly the same to go but it does use the fast boat so it was an experience! Karma were very kind when leaving the island as it was very wild weather and we were lucky enough to use the covered fast boat , others unfortunately weren’t! Our flights were cancelled so we had a night on St Marys - worth thinking about when planning as our inward flight was also cancelled and ended up with a stay at Penzance as well but no flight so had to travel on the Scillonian to get there. It was variable weather as expected in October & it was well worth booking a mobility scooter to use on the island- very reasonable at £10 a day as I can’t walk quickly or for long distances . Would love to visit the hotel again but not as late in the season!

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.
