Excellent quality stay

Very clean and well laid out. Location first class. Rooms have not changed since my last visit pre Covid and are in need of a refresh. Food good ,service slow and at times surly apart from Nicholas amd Matthew , beach amd pool attendants. Always smiling amd very efficient. A nice touch, serving hors d’oeuvres around the pool, and fruit. Breakfast full and good. Love the swim up rooms.

The hotel was nice. The staff was AMAZING very nice and helpful. The value of what we paid was not what we expected. The hotel needs major updates. The bathrooms especially but otherwise the rooms are nice. But the price has to be revised because it’s very expensive compared to what you are receiving in return. Only 1 meal a day and no drinks. But because we were looking for rest and relaxation I guess it worked out.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Considering the exorbitant cost for one night at nearly 1300 USD I was disgusted. The rooms are very old and poorly appointed. The service in the restaurant and bar can only be described as “lack lustre” and I won’t be staying again until it’s been fully refurbished which starts in May.. and it’s closed for a year so there is a warning there.

Ok i have a two pronged approach to this review If you are 50 and over and love silence, this hotel is perfect for your completely silent trip. A lack of music is apparent from your arrival to departure. If you are younger and want a little music and sound and fun with your afternoon rum punch look elsewhere. It is quiet in every section of the hotel to the point of weirdness and is a completely “sterile environment” A large reason I come To this hotel was the rum vault and I was denied entrance for lack of availability for the entire week. Beach is beautiful, walkable to other places. Staff is great. Choose wisely

Since this is the last month of operation for the hotel before it closes for a year long renovation project we were blessed with a lot of peace and quiet. The staff, despite their pending furlough, was attentive and caring. Looking forward to the reopening in 2025. It’s a great beach location

The shower/ bath arrangements in our room 307 were just not safe. There was also a leak in the roof of the bathroom which despite informing maintenance about no one looked at during our stay. The hotel is closing in April for a much needed refurb so some, though not all, of the staff were certainly demotivated.

Hotel is zeer verouderd en dringend aan vernieuwing toe. Niet iedereen aan de receptie was even vriendelijk, niettegenstaande de prijs/nacht toch al hoog is, vraagt het hotel een meerprijs voor alles. Men kan beter wat meer betalen en verblijven in het Coral Reef Club hotel wat er juist naast ligt.
