We checked in with Esther who appeared to be new. I have no idea why it took over 10 min. She gave me the room key and I had to ask where it was and how to get there. She told me ‘building 2’ and I was like where is bldg 2? There are no elevators so it was TOUGH carrying our luggage to the 3rd floor. There wasnt porter service. We finally checked in and went to the beach. Waited 15 min trying to get a drink at beach bar and gave up. What really drives my less than great review is that I had to ask numerous ppl if there were pool towels. We ended up getting the answer from a guest on the beach. So I went to the front desk to get one and they said they were out!! We ended up swimming and sitting on the beach without towels. Lots of marijuana use by ppl walking around. While this an OK hotel, I didnt think it was worth what we paid comparing it to other places we’ve stayed on the island.

The restaurant service was extremely slow and our takeout order was missing several items. The pool area is in need of updating and there was a lot of trash on the beach. We also noticed ants in our rooms. Staff was a bit rude when we were asking about an airport shuttle, told us to walk to them across the street even with a ton of bags and two small children. Would not stay again.

Property is great, the beach is perfect with a great view The Resturant and bar so so, staff kind of uninterested, like they were just going thru the motions instead of making it feel like a fun vacation for the guests, but it is what it is, went for the view and beach anyway

The property is in a great location close to the airport, but the airport noise was not a problem as I had feared. The beach is beautiful. The restaurant is apparently a separate entity from the hotel, but we enjoyed it very much as well. Beachfront seating was beautiful and the food was good. I was very pleasantly surprised by this hotel and I would go back.

The staff has perfect customer service skills. Greeted us upon arrival. Food was excellent. Anything we needed they was happy to assist. What I couldn't understand why is there's no microwave available in the rooms? There was a door to gain access to the beach area which was locked. Had to walk a little distance to get there. (I'm a senior citizen) Otherwise I enjoyed my stay. Will visit again

Great place to stay for quick access to the pool and beach. Breathtaking view. Slow service. The bar can get pretty busy but can still accommodate with ease. Excursions are just a walk away - approx 20 ft which makes things extremely convenient.

The resort was a short walk from the airport, my 7 year old did it with no problem. The resort was right on the beach with access to water activities and food. Great 3 day getaway.
