Disliked: Staff & service
The property is average I would say. But, the restaurant staff is not that welcoming. They’re not automatic. For the front desk there was only one that really does the job and I think her name is Liz. For the cleanliness I would say to use some air refresher inside the room. The day we got there my nose reacted immediately. But, I like the area how walkable it is the ocean, restaurant by the beach was really amazing.

Nice location and clean.

Overall, a lovely place. Clean and staff was nice. Had a two bedroom unit. Two burner hot plate was kind of tight and took a while to heat up and no oven. Biggest issues: no hot water in kitchen and the wifi didn't quite reach the bedrooms (it worked fine in family room). Beach across the street and Reflexions restaurant on the beach was nice and not overly expensive. Running trail nearby but no workout room. I asked for a can opener and bigger coffee maker and they were provided quickly. Individual A/C in each room.

Perfect (except during boatfest/carnival)

Before you book, be sure it's not during carvinal/boatfest. We came in on January 12, 2025 and couldn't get asleep until 1am or so. BUT, the rest of the week was perfect. Even though by the airport, I didn't really notice plane noise while sleeping.

It's the talk of the town, 4 all the wrong reasons

Looks like it was probably amazing when it first opened and then was never updated or maintained since. Landscaping, poolside, rooms, all outdated and almost dilapidated.

Customer service is not up to the mark and the price you pay is not worth staying here at all. Toilet flush was not working from the day 1 and no service available after 8 pm in night. Location is close to beach but quiet noisy room with lot of bikes revving so loudly you can not have a sound sleep. Rooms are not sound proof or not designed properly for stay.

Pros: Clean, without asking we got everyday new towels and bed sheets. Good location, 15 min walk on the beautiful beach sidewalk and you can reach downtown Renaissance Plaza and main bus station. It's not a fancy place just basic. Enough storage space in the room, small fridge and microwave. Cons: Noise, you can't sleep. The bars across the street play loud base music that vibrates in the room until midnight, and you can hear all the noise even when sitting in the hotel garden. Motor cycles also gather across the street and make too much noises, so if it is not the music it's the motorcycles. I would go back to the hotel ONLY IF i can secure a room away from the street. Management offered us another room that we refused because it was still facing the street we didn't want to risk paying extra 20$per night to still hear noise. Go somewhere else if you are seeking peace and quiet and wanting to spend quiet time in the garden. Ideally the hotel should make some deal with the business across the street for the loud base music and call police for the motorbikes,it's too bad because it is a nice cozy place. Advise: book the hotel only if sleep is not your priority or if you can book a room away from the street. Didn't try breakfast, didn't swim in the pool. My husbabd and I barely stayed there because our goal was to explore the island and not spend time relaxing in the hotel.

Good value, nice stay, close to airport

We needed a one-night stay before going to our timeshare property and were very happy with this choice. Clean, comfortable, convenient, nice staff, and a short walk to Surfside beach. And you get vouchers for lounge chairs and umbrella at Reflexions Beach Bar and Club, where you can get drinks and food and use the pool. The resort’s own pool area is attractive and serene. There’s a bar and a cafe on site. We had breakfast at the cafe. My husband’s made-to-order omelette was the best he’s ever eaten, he said. I don’t know if I should be annoyed by that 😆😏 but our compliments to the chef. My only complaint - and this is minor - is that when you buy ala carte instead of the buffet, you still have to serve yourself. You get your own coffee, no one refills it but you, you get your own forks and knives, you make your toast in that ever so slow toast rotisserie in a line of people making toast while our eggs get cold. You also get your own eggs from the buffet if you want scrambled. Go with the omelette and you’ll be happy.
