Reef view rooms have an incredible view out over the beach. The only negative for us was the sound of a constantly crying baby in the room next door, I might be nice if infants were restricted to certain floors.

Great Location, but lacks in customer service.

Great location and lots of options for pools. This is a solid B+ hotel. The rooms are large and the views are fantastic! They have the airport transfer well organized and work with you to keep your luggage after checkout, but they require 10 am checkout, which is earlier than most hotels. The staff was friendly but were very slow to respond to requests or just said they wouldn't be able to help. It seemed like they were constantly under staffed. There were always roadblocks to simple requests I had. With that being said, I would still return to this hotel because of the location and views. But, just be aware that it's not a service oriented hotel.
