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.

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.

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.

Beautiful Location

The hotel has a beautiful situation and clearly aims for a high standard. However, I don't think the standard achieved, good as it is, justifies the price. In particular watch out for the very small measures issuing from the 'automatic wine dispenser', which are far smaller than normal measures

Pretty nearly perfect

Pretty nearly perfect! The setting is one one of the most stunning and something that stays with you for a long time . The hotel is rugged and quite lovely.

As you’d expect, staff are friendly and welcoming . Food is particularly fine . Minor quibble , no bread at breakfast but try the kippers they were sublime.

The ocean room was comfortable but basic bathroom forces a less than perfect rating . If you’re over 5 foot 5 the bath is too small .

At the price, it slightly lacks little touches , turn down service a bikkie or two.

Outside area is fabulous .

Overall can’t wait to come back .

Nice Hotel 40m from the beach!!!!!!

In my opinion the best hotel on the Isles of Scilly. - a superb location right on the beach. This hotel was run efficiently and on a very friendly, relaxed manner. On arrival to the hotel I was met by a member of the front-of-house team who explained and gave me all information I needed about the hotel and its facilities. I must say that I was a little disappointed when informed that the indoor swimming pool (mentioned on their website in February when I booked) was actually closed down. The food was really good and as I am a Coeliac and require a gluten-free menu this was well catered for and it was not a problem to provide a gluten-free alternative.

Staff on reception exceptional, very helpful, friendly and nothing too much trouble. Had major issue with put up bed overnight but issue resolved by reception in morning. Lovely that our dogs were made so welcome. Cooked breakfast not worth the money especially the rosti.

Get away from it all

If you're looking for sea, sandy beaches, a two-by-one mile island to explore, friendly people (and seals), comfy lounge/bar and good food- and not much else, then this is perfect. Our dog now knows what her version of heaven looks like ( although perhaps with a bit more sun)!

Relaxed service (although not overly attentive) and the daily news covering what's on and where to go on the island (did I mention the pub next door, the tea-room and the fish and chips?) all added to the experience.

Contemporary small hotel in stunning location

Very warm welcome by friendly staff. Our room, 'Ennor', had the 'wow' factor not only the subtle colours of the furnishings but the incredible view over landscaped garden and the sea over to Tresco and St,Mary's.

The weather was good but variable. This is the place to view big skies both day and evening.

Outside are comfortable chairs and tables and loungers.

Enjoyed the foraging day with Rachel. Collecting seaweeds and local plants and seeds that the chef used to create a 5 course gourmet meal that included scallops, lobster and rack of lamb.

Benefited from a very high quality massage that is provided in-house.

Beautiful but pricey.

This hotel is in a fantastic location if you are a nature lover. However extremely pricey unless you belong to the Karma Club. As it is on St Martins, an out-island of the Scillies, only access is by boat. During normal daytime this is not a problem but if arriving after 5.30 a private water taxi is necessary at enormous cost. The hotel needs to sort this out!
Hotel itself is comfortable and food good, but again expensive. Staff are friendly and helpful.

St Martin's remains wonderfully idyllic

We returned to St Martin's being die-hard fans of the old St Martin's hotel and were pleasantly surprised. It was towards the end of the season and little had changed of the feel of the old hotel.The Tean restaurant was no more with dining moving downstairs but this did not detract from the excellent food with the curry, from the Goan chef, being the best I have ever tasted. Once the pool is back and up and running it will be back where we remember it but we would heartily recommend that those who have been before make a revisit to see for themselves. An excellent surprise.
