It took me a minute to write this review because I needed to get my thoughts together. I will say overall the property is nice. Our room was cute and similar to pics on the website. However, during our stay, we did have some issues. First of all the service at the restaurant on the property is awful. It takes forever just for someone to come up and take your order and then they disappear. Be prepared to wait hours at the restaurant waiting for your food, even if they aren’t busy at all. My fiancé and I got so tired of waiting we just left and ate somewhere else. Also, on our second morning at the property, we woke up to the smell of sewage in our hotel room. We immediately notified the front desk and ask if we could be switched to a different room because the smell was actually giving me a headache. We were told that they would be able to put us in a new room soon. We waited hours and never received an update on the status of the new room. We finally went to the front desk to see what was going on only to be told that we will still have to wait a while. At this point we were frustrated and missing out on our pre-booked excursions so we asked to speak to the manager. The manager was finally able to help us get into a new room. Aside from our conversation with the manager, it felt as though the rest of the staff could care less about our concerns. They seemed very dismissive. Like I said, the property is nice, but for the amount of money we paid I would expect better service.

Extremely unwelcoming. You pay for. $750 dollar room, and they treat you like your nothing. The staff was stuck up, rude, unwelcoming, unhelpful, and they expected a top for just looking at them after you spend a fortune to even stay there. They never asked us if we needed anything by the “serviced pool” which was only about 7 by 5 feet pool for the public.the second pool was small and unserviced. 1 drink at their supposedly EDM party was $38 usd plus a tip. You need to add money to a bracelet and if you don’t use it you loose it. We felt robbed the whole time. We travel a min of 5 times a year for the past 7 years and this was by far the worst experience ever. The beach is very dirty and they have money to clean it but they didn’t.

The property is run down by time. The staff takes time to deliver service request average between 20-30 minutes. The beach are is dirty and some staff at the beach club will cater to whites and not nationals.

Rooms had bugs in it, no shampoo or conditioner in the shower. Lock jammed and got locked in my hut. Had to crawl out window to get out. Employees are incredibly slow to do anything. Many don’t understand what you want. The parties on Saturday are a total inconvenience for the hotel guests. Priorities given to party guest.
