The Viceroy King sea view Suite was spacious w/a large bathroom.The water pressure was excellent, bed comfy. From a room design standpoint, the suite delivers.
-Jellyfish present in water.
-There is ongoing construction at a neighboring beach club, and the noise carries directly onto the hotel’s beach. The constant banging and construction sounds made it difficult to relax, which defeats the purpose of a beachfront stay. Additionally, staff was cutting the grass in front of our pool chairs. This was particularly disappointing given that tranquility is one of the main reasons to choose this property.
-The public areas consistently felt crowded, especially at breakfast, around the pool, and in the restaurants. My husband had to go down at 8 each morning to reserve two beach chairs for us to ensure we had a spot for the day. The atmosphere overall felt chaotic.
-Sleep quality was another major concern. The walls appear to be very thin as we were disturbed by loud neighboring guests yelling, laughing late into the night. Overall, this is not a property we would return to. As a luxury travel advisor from the USA, it is also not a hotel I would feel confident recommending to my clients.
While the rooms themselves have nice features, the overall experience lacked the refinement, tranquility, and sense of safety expected at a luxury resort. For travelers seeking a truly elevated and peaceful 5* experience, I would strongly recommend considering The Ritz-Carlton(5min away) instead.
