Lay out of hotel ill conceived All the rooms were on one side of the reception along long corridors. if you are unfortunate to be given a room at the end of the hotel it means a long walk.And the corridors become flooded with heavy rain making it a slippery slope.We had a function in the Sky Lime hall which was outside the hotel with no toilet facilities or cloak room.Though there was a path leading to this hall it was not covered and we all got wet getting to the hall.Being a week end the hotel was full of locals and there was no room for us in the pool!

We loved our week long stay at Citrus. It was beautiful. The rooms were clean and comfortable. We had a great view of the ocean and the gardens. The amenities were excellent. The food was amazing. We booked all inclusive which we highly recommend. Not only does it include breakfast, lunch and dinner, it also included several alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages! The staff was wonderful. We give this hotel a big thumbs up!
