In their year-end roundup, The Times praised the series for its originality and gripping drama, set against the stunning backdrop of a luxury hotel in Grenada. Pairs compete in high-stakes challenges, navigating trust, strategy and betrayal in a paradise setting that keeps viewers hooked from start to finish.

The review highlighted the show’s unique cast – “a neatly curated conglomeration of oddballs” – and applauded host Stephen Mangan as “rather more engaging,” bringing charm and wit to every twist and turn.

As The Times put it, the joy of The Fortune Hotel lies in “watching the animosity grow and the double-crossing get more and more vicious.”
