Disliked: Amenities
The hotel and rooms were beautiful, but the amenities and service were disappointing. We rented two suites; one had only one towel and the other had two. Despite calling several times, additional towels were never delivered. The same issue occurred with toilet paper and blankets. We eventually had to find a housekeeper ourselves the next morning to get what we needed. In the suite I stayed in, the shower had cold water and very low water pressure. At the pool, they ran out of frozen drinks and pool towels. On our last day, we had brunch at the hotel and they ran out of orange juice, yet kept telling us someone was getting more the entire time. This was very upsetting, especially given how expensive the hotel was. We were also surprised by multiple extra charges at check-in. We had also book a dinner sunset cruise through hotel which tickets were given online but found out later that day they were no good and the third party they used to book it had over booked the boat. We were all dressed up and ready to go when we found out. It was our last night and it was ruined. Very upsetting.

Right by the port which provided a sense of safety. Senior Frogs is adjacent to the property which allowed for a quick walk for a bite to eat along with other dining options on the property. The $42 drink credit was nice but it was only for 1 time. One thing to consider is 15% auto gratuity plus 10% value added tax. The VAT was unexpected.

They had no room for me !! Totally sold out . One room they took me to needed something fixed so they wouldn’t give it to me . Then after having to traipse back down yet again, they sent me to another room in which the bed looked like an unholy massacre of sorts ( figure it out ) - sheet’s all rolled up, filthy , not even attached to the bed, garbage pails full , towels in the sink - totally disgusting . That was only room. By now it’s 45 min of going back and forth and I’m exhausted & it’s late. Additionally you cannot pull up to hotel as all roads closed so had to get out a block away and roll my luggage through massive crowds, loud music & blinking lights . Lastly downstairs was a total disco ! How anyone would have been able to sleep beyond me . So I couldn’t check in and need refund my money for this travesty of a night & total debacle .

This hotel looks pretty, but it's pretty much the only thing going on for it. The room had a weird smell that never goes away. The bathroom makes a weird plumbing noise continuously, you have to shut the bathroom door for a chance to sleep. And then there's the horrible service overall. Hours of wait for food at the restaurants. Pool runs out of space and towels by noon. Staff do not care at all and are generally not willing to help. It's even impossible to reach the front desk as the phone in the room doesn't work. Not coming back here ever.

The 3 day stay was good. It was as a New Years Eve trip. The room was ok I did not consider the room a premium ocean view as most of the view was the roof. We were not able to check in until 430pm because the room was not clean. The next day we were out most of the day we come back to the room at 230 our room had not been cleaned. Some staff were friendly some not so much. I expected the hotel to have some kind of entertainment for the New Year there was none and not much to do after 6pm. We went to another resort for New Years Eve. Overall stay was ok nothing special.
