My family and I stayed at this property for a week. We had a pool-side villa with balcony, as part of their Signature Experience at the hotel. In my opinion, their signature experience did not add any value above and beyond our usual expectations. They reached out to ask about arrival time, special celebrations, etc. I

Some of the staff didn’t seem like they wanted to be there. My wife left her phone in the lobby on the way to dinner, we both called to ask the front desk if they would please go look and possibly hold it at security, they refused…they said someone has to turn it in, employees can’t go get it, so 50/50 chance it gets stolen or turned in.

We paid over $800 to get a room in one of their external room buildings that was so dirty and could hear everything in the room next to us. Bottles and food sitting in wall ways. Upon arrival, the bell men just watched us as we dragged our bag in ourselves and found the front desk. The hotel is in a compound , which would be nice if you are strictly staying there and not wanting to venture out on foot.

This property is absolutely beautiful, be sure to take the time to enjoy the history of it and enjoy all of the amenities. The service here was amazing. We were so thankful to receive a room upgrade to an ocean view. The room was incredible. We enjoyed taking advantage of a class at the fitness center. All of the outdoor areas were stunning,many dining options and many close by as well. We never had trouble finding a chair at the pool, an attendant brings you a chair towel and a beach towel. The poolside service with a pitcher of Sangria is a must! There’s a lot happening here for entertainment. We had a great time and cannot wait to come back!

Our check-in and check-out experience was very efficient. The location of our room in a building behind the gym provided the tinyest glimpse of a pool -- so it was underwhelming for a "pool villa.". However, it ended up to be convenient, and the room itself was nice. The poolside staff were extraordinary in both their lounge chair set-up for us and an iced coffee that wasn't really on the menu. Breakfast staff was wonderful as well. It was a great experience, and we will be back.

Wonderful hotel would definitely come back!

Hotel is wonderful. Had Thanksgiving dinner in the Meat Market. Beautiful restaurant with great ambiance. We ordered turkey because it was our Thanksgiving dinner. Drinks and bread came our fairly quickly. However, then they must have forgotten us. After almost an hour I had to ask where our dinner was? They did Apologized and gave us two complimentary glasses of wine. A satisfactory gester and we looked forward to our Thanksgiving dinner. The vegetables and gravy were wonderful as was the bread. The turkey, our main reason for dining there, was dry and salty. Worse turkey we've ever had! Became they were so apologetic it was now late and I didn't have the heart to send it back. It is primarily a steak house and we saw a few beautiful steaks. Just don"t order turkey.
