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.

The room was overall clean and smelled clean when we arrived , the front desk staff was always nice and courteous. The restaurant lacks service and it takes forever to get anyone to come to your table for even a drink . The beach bar is the best place to get waited on appropriately. (we wanna say how much we enjoyed Thomas) The little cafe i only saw open once during our stay which was disappointing. The hotel is not really in walking distance to anything , so u will have to taxi to and from everywhere, but do note there is no ATM on site and the taxis only take cash , so if u are planning a longer stay like we had , u will definitely want to venture out due to the lack of amenities. Also, the menu changes with breakfast lunch and dinner but there aren’t many options on each one and u will tire of the same food over and over. the beach is lovely and clean and sandy. views from the room balcony were beautiful. Pool area is clean. Bathrooms by the pool area could use a little TLC , but that is mostly due to the cruise ship traffic. overall is it a place meant for relaxation and enjoying the Caribbean breeze which it gave us so i happily give the 4 stars. However, if you are looking for a more lively island experience this will not be the place for you . I do find it was slightly overpriced for what is available to you on site , no breakfast included , the bar closes at 9 but beach towels and umbrellas ARE available for hotel guest use.

The property is beautiful. The rooms were clean. The staff was nice. The food was kind of expensive though. My biggest complaint is the beds. It was probably the worst beds I’ve ever slept on and I do a lot of traveling. Overall was a good experience, but I don’t know if I’d go back just because of the beds.

Our room was clean and had an amazing view of the bay. The restaurant is not great. We ate there twice and food came out cold, service was very slow, difficult to get refills for drinks. The bar was good. The quick food cabana was fine just not a lot of selection and they run out quickly so if you want that, go early. They also ran out of beach towels daily so make sure to bring your own. Staff was friendly and the beach is amazing. Rooms are clean and comfortable. We would stay here again. But food options are limited and it’s not within walking distance of anything. We overall enjoyed our stay.
