While the location is beautiful, the hotel itself shows significant signs of age, particularly in the bathrooms which are outdated and in need of renovation. The housekeeping service was inconsisten, they made the bed daily but didn't vacuum the floors, leaving the room feeling less than fresh throughout our stay.I was surprised to find that bottled water isn't complimentary and must be purchased separately, which felt like an unnecessary extra cost for a hotel at this price point. The dining options on the island are limited, with only a handful of restaurants available. Most offer standard fare that's adequate but unremarkable. If you're a food enthusiast or enjoy exploring diverse culinary experiences, this destination may not meet your expectations.

Callum (reception) was the only saving grace - other than this I can’t say very much good. Overpriced - definitely not 4-5 star! I stayed at the hotel rather than an apartment for services of which there were none. All I experienced staff that were never there. Told I could use the phone locally for free and then they billed over $100! I had to set up my own excursions. Hard to get housekeeping and didn’t really clean. The room smelled of mildew. Way overpriced for what I didn’t get. I could’ve enjoyed he beach club just the same for much less elsewhere and amenities at the actual hotel were next to nothing. Tried to charge $250 for Christmas dinner which was anything but gourmet! They need to do better or will suffer many more 1 star reviews. Beware to those thinking of booking!!!!
