Good But Not Great

I know what "island time" is, but they take this to another level...s...l...o...w and r..e..l..a..x..e..d. We had hand towels and wash cloths on the first day, but after that housekeeping never gave us another...until the last day we did get a hand towel. The water pressure in our second floor unit was WIMPY...can't imagine what it was like on the third floor. The location is beautiful...great beach...but there is new construction on the northside and they were building shelter for the outdoor pizza oven...nothing like hearing power tools while on the beach.

Initially, the location of the establishment was inconveniently far from the airport. Additionally, all prices were excessive, including taxi fares. I found the absence of a reputable coffee shop in the vicinity, particularly considering the subpar quality of coffee served at the resort, to be disappointing. However, I must acknowledge the beauty of the resort, particularly the beachfront rooms.

Our beachfront room was great. A large fully equipped room with a great view. The grounds were beautiful. We went with the all inclusive plan. The food was average at best. All animal proteins were overcooked from eggs to lobster and fish to hamburgers. The only meal that wasn’t overcooked Was a hamburger that I watched being cooked. Service staff was friendly, but extremely slow. Other than a buffet meal, from seating to delivery of food generally took 45 minutes to 2 hours. Would visit again, but leave off the all inclusive. Bar service was great. Friendly and quick. Spa was clean, relaxing and staffed with accommodating friendly staff.

Stay was ok. A little expensive for what it was. Staff was somewhat friendly. There is only one restaurant and we experienced long wait times. Very pricey as well. Buffet was 55USD per adult. We got there on Valentine’s Day and the buffet was $240USD per couple which was crazy. Another complaint I would have is the chairs by the pool and beach, if you don’t get your towels out and reserve a spot before 10:00am then you will be out of luck for the day. The property overall was well kept and the beach was as well. Overall a decent stay but I can’t say I would be back.

The place is okay but it seems a little tired. There is not much to do at there resort and it seems as though the resort doesn't put much effort into ensuring guest satisfaction. Each morning you have to race other guests for a chair by the pool. There are very limited activities to do around the resort. The good USD mediocre at best. On the plus side it's clean and the staff are helpful.

Amazing pool area, clean rooms, stellar beach, nice spa & restaurant. It is great you can walk to many different restaurants. I felt this was more to my liking than the all inclusive meal plan you can pay for. There would be 2 issues that I would state. Having a kettle with packages of instant coffee is really below standard in my opinion for the price of the stay. The other issues is the cruise people that show up with a day pass and take up the pool lounge chairs. I personally feel this area should be dedicated to the those staying at the resort. Cruisers should be restricted to the beach.

Disappointed

Disappointed for a resort. Upon our check in to our King room, it had a non working AC with a clogged sink, clearly a sign of very poor quality checks. Also there was Noisy construction site for a new Bay Garden building outside our patio balcony which was not disclosed to us. There was no "garden view" as advertised. We were told there were was no alternate king rooms available and were moved to a room with 2 queen beds on our second day at the resort.
