Beautiful beachfront location. We were here the week of Mother's Day. Roslyn greeted us with a smile and checked us in and provided us with information and cash exchange during the week and was always pleasant. They tagged and secured our luggage while we ate at Calabash for lunch while waiting for our rooms. We were told that we would get an email when are rooms were ready but that did not happen. We had to keep going to the front desk to check. We stayed in a Jr. Suite on the 3rd floor with great views of the pool and beach areas. Our room was clean and well maintained by housekeeping during our stay. On Mother's Day, Calabash had a fixed buffet menu that we were not interested in, so we had lunch next door at Deia beach club and then dinner at a restaurant in the Gap. Zawadi at the front desk arranged for a taxi to take us to several places for a day trip. She was always pleasant and friendly during several interactions. The weekend was busy around the pools with every lounge chair taken and the pool bar was full of the same people all week. There was much better lounge chair availability after the weekend, but this was not a peak week. I would imagine the chair situation would be stressful during busier times but there is always a spot on the beach to setup. Pool bar service by Jose and Vivian was excellent. The only issue was that they constantly ran out of wines and cranberry juice and there were no nonalcoholic offerings other than mixer/juices. We ordered lunch from Calabash directly from the pool bar and it was delivered to our table takeout style. My wife enjoyed the hot/cold rock massage at Karma spa and rated as one of the best ever. A friend also enjoyed her regular massage although the spa is a very small area. The gym was well setup and clean. There are a few cats that roam the property and, in the restaurant. They do walk on the lounge chairs and towels but remarkably stay off of the tables. Pros: Close to airport Beachfront with water sports Umbrellas and chairs can be set up anywhere on the beach Restaurant on site Clean and well maintained Friendly service Nightly poolside entertainment No Kids at Adult Pool enforced Pool was clean and well maintained Cons: Water is rough. Need to go next door to Sandals to go in the water near the breakers. Couldn't use any watersports options due to red flag all week Constant, all day and night smell of food cooking whether on the beach or in the pool due to restaurant location. Limited menu at Calabash and other close by (walkable) restaurants are very limited and hours vary. No elevators if you have mobility issues Read less

This hotel is great. The gardens with waterfalls are beautiful, our junior suite room was large, comfortable and quiet. The people working in the hotel were friendly and helpful. Great location (we used local buses to get around) and stunning beach. We have marked the Bougainvillea down by one point owing to a grumpy (sometimes aggressive) member of the beach/waterports team. There was no response to our 'good morning's, hello's and thank you's'. We also witnessed a heated exchange with a man who had put his beach brolly up himself (it was 30+ degrees and no help could be found for a while) and an aggressive argument with a woman (on her own) who had moved her sunbed when there was the tip of a brolly resting on it so it ended up in the sand. Apart from that, 10/10! Read less

A beautiful, well kept hotel. Peaceful, relaxed and on a stunning beach. Rooms were spacious and cleaned thoroughly daily. The sea here is wavy which we loved but you can travel to the beaches on the west of the island if you want to experience the calmer water as well.

The sea here is wavy which we loved but you can travel to the beaches on the west of the island if you want to experience the calmer water as well. We hired a car to explore the island which I would highly recommend. The hotel provided a great base for us and good flexibility. There was just the right amount of entertainment and it was tasteful, we loved our stay here. Read less

Not the friendliest staff. No coffeemakers or water bottles in the room. Not many places to go within walking distance. Seating by the pool was “claimed” by 6 am. Nice beach and pool.
