Everything was absolutely great! Highly recommend the Holiday in resort
Pros and cons. The pool was nice (tough to get a seat though) and beach was great (I don't love paying $30 a day to reserve a cabana). Our room had a strong mildew smell, which may be common for rooms in the area. The street music was super loud in our room until about 9/10 pm every night. Hard to beat the price. On-site food options were good (especially the free breakfast). Staff were very friendly. Was it terrible? No, I wouldn't say that. Will we stay there again? Probably not.
Although the property was beautiful, the staff was unfriendly and my disable child was like a freak show for them. She had a meltdown in the lobby, and instead of being asked how can we help accommodate you. A manager came up to me saying their is concerns about your daughter, mind you she’s only 6. When even sitting by the pool members from the staff, were tapping other staff members “saying look there’s the girl” right in front of our faces, I’ve never seen such unprofessionalism in my life. I already Filed a complaint with the hotel and doing one with corporate.
Holiday Inn is a great value for what you pay. I have stayed in very luxurious resorts and this is not one, however, for the price it is great! It is very close to the restaurants, shops and night-life, the beach is awesome with great access to water activities. The place is a little outdated, however, it is very clear they are trying to be very accomodating - my room had brand new sheets and duvet covers, the pillows were comfortable, the staff was super nice. For spending most of the day out and about - the price and value is just right! I would highly recommend - I would also suggest not going with the "all inclusive" as there are many great restaunts to try steps away from the hotel :)
It was a wonderful experience..
The hotel was in the heart of Noord with plenty of restaurants and souvenir shops. We rented an unguided UTV and went all over the island. They even brought the UTV to the hotel and picked it up. The beach was beautiful, plenty of chairs for the beach, tiki bar as great and the beach restaurant was so good! We will be back!
Best vacation ever
Huge beach with lots of Palapa's. You don't have that mad rush to get a Palapa everyday like at other resorts I've stayed at. Service at the outside bar is great. Rooms are just ok, but you're their to be outside anyway. Staff is helpful and friendly.
Great beach with plenty of palapa’s. Kid friendly, pretty good food. Rooms are clean. Staff is very helpful
Staff was very friendly and helpful. Located in a great spot for shopping and eating. Only issue is the outdated rooms, and hallway decor. For the price they charge, it should be a looking more up to date.
The staff was so kind and courteous. The beach area and pools were clean and well kept.
Toilets flushes very loud and wakes up everyone. Fitness room is small and not well air conditioned. Staff are not very friendly. Nice beach and pool area.
Great location, friendly staff!
Was truly impressed by the holiday inn resort, my only request would be to not stay in the sea tower because it’s next to a beach club that plays loud music til 1 am and 2 am on Saturday’s
Housekeeping was great. Location excellent. Some staff super friendly others really not. Kids eat free was super helpful on a costly vacation. Kids liked the small activity center. Check in was a nightmare. Hot tubs are no longer heated. One of our rooms had a very strong musty smell. No activities, shows etc. for families.
