Loved the location and beach front room but the rooms need some serious updating on beds and showers. We got very little sleep the entire 5 nights we were there because the beds were cheap and hard as a rock (could feel springs). My husband has back problems and had the worst time sleeping. For the amount of money this resort makes they could at least upgrade their beds. As for the showers, there are no shower curtains so water soaked the bathroom and there was barely any water pressure which made for a hard time washing and conditioning my hair. I would stay here again but not until they at least upgrade the beds!! Staff was all nice and helpful and got us what we needed in a timely manner especially when we realized our room was not stocked with towels/washcloths!!! I will also add the check in process was LONG and SLOW!!!! Check in time is 4pm. We arrived around 4:30-4:45 to a lobby full of people and only 2 people checking people in. Took almost an hour just to get checked in only to not even have a room ready!! It was a little after 6pm before we even got to go to our room!!

The breakfast was delicious and MG was the best server at the restaurant. Unfortunately, the rest of the servers are not friendly nor in any kind of hurry to get your order and most of them dont smile or even greet you at the table. The bartenders are not friendly unless you're a regular. My Mahi sandwich during lunch was terrible, it was a mahi jerky. Tthe rice/peas are delicious. The drinks are watered down and this place automatically adds 18% gratuity. The rooms look like they started updating them but it still needs more. Not enough drawer space and to many chairs. The reading lights dont work and the bathroom door automatically closes. Add a microwave! The bathroom is well lit and it looks like new. The beach area, is rocky at points but beautiful.

Clean room and great location! Most of the staff were very nice but a bit understaffed. Only thing we had trouble with was our shower. It was either really hot or cold. Food was excellent and loved the beach!

The bartender lady is extremely rude and down right angry and does not belong working with the public. She is not capable of carrying the entire place alone and should not have to. While I understand her frustration and bad mood you should not take it out on the customers. The food was ok but after waiting almost 2 hours for it we were not exactly hungry anymore. The front desk ladies were nice and helped us in any way they could but the restaurant and bar are in desperate need of new management. This place has a ton of potential with the right person delegating operations. Even with the cons I would stay again just for the beach and pool area.

The room was clean. Staff were super friendly. The restaurant at the hotel was HORRIBLE. It was dirty, understaffed, and overpriced for the bad service. We waited for 45 mins before anyone could acknowledge us and another 20 to get our drinks then way later our food. We left the second time when we were seating for 30 mins and no one acknowledged us. The restaurant needs a big makeover from aesthetic to business to service. We would recommend the hotel but not the RESTAURANT. Don’t get us started on the dirtiness of the restaurant.

Last minute booking due to American Airlines Receptionist was very nice. But bombarded by frustrated American Airlines clients who had terrible day at airport. Room was nice but had to return to office to get towels . The bathroom was clean but stripped of towels.

Overall this is a decent property to stay at. The view of the ocean was beautiful from the room. The pool is cold to refresh you from that hot sun. Room was clean and they bring towels/wash cloths daily. The food options are limited however and service does take a while at the actual restaurant. Lunch service was not as slow as dinner even though it was more crowded. The rice and peas as a side option was really good. The cafe service was faster with breakfast sandwiches, muffins and pastries to choose from along with coffee. The taxi situation outside the property can be a hassle if you are going further into the island than the nearby touristy areas. Be prepared to leave early for any excursions you have booked to leave plenty of time to arrive by taxi.
