Some furniture a little aged. Bathtub stopper doesn’t work. WiFi is the absolute worst of any 5star hotel I’ve ever been in. Keeps kicking u out every time you closed the phone. Have to relog in EVERY time you turn on the phone. Cell signals sucks so u are reliant on the wifi. But overall great value for such a large oceanfront suite. Location cannot be beat. Amenity is awesome and views are great.

Just back from 2 weeks there. Overall pretty good, but some areas are tired. Some rooms have been refreshed but ours wasn’t one of them. Pool area needs more beds. Breakfast a little repetitive. Bar music needs more variety. Same cd every day for many days. Lounge music in evenings tooooo loud. Being a bit picky now.😄 Overall very good value.

Check in at reception was easy and trouble free. Rooms are clean and fantastic views of the sea but the hotel is showing it's age with rooms' decor old and tired, and loose decking on balconies and in public areas. We especially booked this hotel as it had so many dining venues and bars, but upon arriving and settling in learned that 2 of the restaurants had closed and the swim up bar closed during covid and have not been reopened. Their website should have been updated with this information as it leaves zero beverage service around the pool. They have a fantastic Sunset Bar/lounge which was could be used the first 3 nights we were there with gorgeous views of the sun setting over islands and the sea, it rained once and all the cushions were removed from the furniture and were not returned for the rest of our 11 night stay, not 5star service and disappointing to say the least. Food service was good and staff friendly but clearly need more training in the drinks service area which was virtually non existant, always had to chase someone to get a drink. Around the pool and Sunset Bar, again, had to repeatedly chase a server and on most occasions go up to the small bar, order and pay as they would not run a tab, and drinks would then be delivered. We tried the swim up bar at the sister resort, Pacific Sutera, and although there were only 2 couples sat there we still had to wave down the 5 staff there to get a drink, again much training is needed. Lovely resort, not 5 star though
