Please do not come to this place, very unwelcoming from the moment we arrived. Unwilling to explain anything when we arrived very slow check in ,took over an hour . Unsanitary hotel, especially dangerous in the restaurant staff has no idea how to handle food, just be aware!! Food is absolutely disgustingly terrible, not enough variety, buffet food always cold and very poor quality. Macaroni and cheese, pastas, stale bread , no fish. Untrained employees at restaurant, have no idea how to handle meat. For raw and cooked chicken using the same spatula. Pasta “cook “ telling the guests that it’s their job to put vegetables for pasta straight into the fry pan on the top of the gas stove instead of doing it themselves. Extremely dangerous! When ask if an employee could squeeze an orange , an employee took up a quarter of an orange and started to squeeze in my glass by hands . Ice in the bar was serving into the glass by bare hands!!

The same food every day , breakfast and lunch exactly the same - horrible quality . Undrinkable water in the tub , but no bottle water at the restaurants or coffee shop. “Specialty” restaurants very difficult to book because the app. not working . Booked restaurant after waiting at the desk from 9am to 10.30 “The Steakhouse”, but they didn’t have steaks. The same situation in the Carribian Restaurant No Fish! Entertainment practically not existing. Food for kids was on the separate table : with the sign : FOR KIDS ONLY “ The Food for kids every day: 1. Macaroni and cheese, 2. Frozen French fries 3. Blacken chicken wings 4. Candy every day , breakfast and lunch exactly the same - horrible quality . Needless to say not recommended! Read less

Honestly this place is amazing. My wife and I came to love so much about this place. The beach is the best on the island. The food is really good, especially the buffet. If you get here give this place a day to settle in. See all the beauty here. We made so many friends and so many staff members are loving and filled with so many wonderful qualities. You have to be kind and you will find so many good people here. We actually caught a mahi on a deep sea fishing trip and came back and the Chef Daniel cooked it up for dinner and lunch. Probably one of the best meals I’ve ever had. He put so much into that and it was more than we could have imagined. Honestly this place is a tropical paradise but you can’t be over the top perfectionist. Find the beauty while you’re here and you won’t be disappointed. We changed our mindset and this is one of the best places we’ve been to on vacation. The people here make it special too. The gym was amazing and we came to love the people running it. Shannan and Jameel were amazing and we will be life long friends. The shows at night were so memorable and infused with so much of what the island culture is. The drinks were amazing here to, make sure you find Leston, he’s the best cocktail bartender on the island. So much about this place was so special and authentic. We would walk the beach every night and meet the people running the little shops. The were all so kind and incredible people. We experienced Shirley Heights one night with the people here at the resort, that was such an incredible view with amazing food. They have so many fun things to explore at the hotel too. My wife and I took a Kayak out along the walls and down the beach and over to the other resort. Then came back and I snorkeled the ship reck out in front of the resort. That was so cool to see. It was a huge crashed ship with reefs growing on it and fish everywhere. The pictures don’t do justice of this place but we attached a few. We will miss so much about this place. Read less
