The good part: staff super friendly. The not so good part, no convenient store near by, things are expensive onsite. No complimentary cotton swab as a 4 star should, but charged me $3 for a small pack. Water is expensive too. Also room is quite old, a lot of small insects in the room.

The staff dont show much enthusiasm, bar and restaurant staff seem untrained and less than helpful. Guests were asking other guests to buy them drinks or give them $10.00 so they could buy a drink. This hotel was once the place to go to, now, sadly, its not a great place ti stay. Will not book a stay there in the future.

The property was very well-kept. The staff went out of their way to be helpful, arranging taxis for us and loaning us a luggage cart ("trolley"). and providing us a comfortable place to stay while our room was made ready. The room was comfortable, good mattress and pillows, very clean. We only had one meal, at the poolside bar/grill. There was a wide variety of reasonably-priced menu items. The dinner menu also contained a good variety. While we stayed only one night (between cruise and flight), it is clear that this property is a destination for many people. We saw many families with children enjoying the three(!) tropical pools, mini-golf, and pedal carts.
