Expensive, but worth it - user review The Princess is an elegant resort. Everything you would expect from a 4 5 star property.

Housekeeping Issues at Fairmont Hamilton Princess - user review We had requested early check in two months in advance and were denied it after being strung along for approximately 3 hours.

An hour of Paradise wasted. - user review Although the staff is extremely helpful and pleasant, the hassle of taking the ferry to the shuttle to the beach is a complete waste of time.
