The location here is hard to beat - if you are a beach person, this is the one! I have only been to this Couples resort, and before that only been to Sandals resorts! The beach, like I said was the winner for me.
Comparing what I had been to in the past, I am going to leave my honest review!
The rooms are nice, plain, but nice. Beds comfortable, nothing extravagant about the room, but I don't go to spend a lot of time in my room. We had the beachfront verandah room, with amazing sunsets! I loved sitting out there after a long day in the sun. We had the third floor, so the view wasn't blocked in any way, but they don't have elevators, so keep that in mind! The thing about my room that was a bummer to me, was the noise!!!!!!! Not from guests, but from workers in the mornings, yelling, and the carts that they are pushing on the sidewalks to refill the bars and stuff! It would be helpful to put nice rubber tires on the carts, because its amazing how much noise they made! Also, the A/C in our room stopped working on the 4th day. The housekeeper reported it before we even knew, and I checked on it personally 3 more times after that, and in the last 3 days, it was never fixed. I really only wanted that for sleeping, and it helped drown out the noise, so that was a bummer for me!!!!
Bars, restaurants etc. were fine. Two of the restaurants you have to have reservations, we got into both, and Feathers, our meal was amazing. The food is good, not grand or spectacular, but good! Bars are quick and convenient, which is good especially when its hot laying on the beach and swimming all day. In the scheme of things we took the most advantage of Scotch Bonnet on the beach there and the buffet!
The Aura nightclub - had a lot of fun in there. BUT - we went the next night when it was not a piano night, and the bartender said it was open till very late hours. A few of us were in there, and the bartender turned off all the lights, and sat with his friends and watched a movie, and never came back to the bar for our drinks! It was very odd, so we all left.
The grounds are beautiful, and our housekeeper, Tracey Ann was amazing. I went to the spa, loved it there as well, it feels like you're in a private jungle!
We played a TON of beach volleyball with all of the guys out there! They definitely keep you moving and made it fun! HOURS, we played :) They do a great job keeping guests active!
All in all, I will definitely return - but I will get a room there off of the beach, they are private and much more quiet!
