Our room was dirty, the bathroom was full of mold and the carpet was so frayed that my 90 year old mother tripped several times. For a so called 5 Star hotel, this hotel did not meet the standards. Very disappointed.

I have stayed at this hotel in previous years and enjoyed which brought me back this summer. Upon arrival there was no bell service to help unload my bags. After checking in, we discovered the AC had been broken since the night before and we were left to roast in our rooms. Thankfully we were accommodated by switching from the main building to the villas, but we should have been notified of the AC issue at check in. Especially having our 14 month old with us. The pool access was for anyone from the outside meaning that there was no regulation on who was coming into the hotel and using the pool area as well the pool wasn’t being cleaned regularly, the pool menu was limited and cocktails weren’t too great. The hotel looks like it hasn’t been maintained well, or as I remember it. I give it a 3/5. They need to upkeep the hotel and add bracelets for all guests so random people will not be allowed into the hotel areas!

Overall the hotel was nice but the room was very disappointing and outdated. The carpet had a musty smell so we purchased febreeze air fresheners for the room to get rid of the smell. They did refund us a night due to the air conditioning not working which was hospitable of them. Very lovely resort and beach access was awesome.

Property is beautiful literally has everything on this resort, staff was very friendly. The issues we had was the second day of our 5 day trip ac stopped working in the rooms for 2 days that sucked… Also on our floor work was being done so a lot of noise/ banging… Hate to be that person to complain but I did mention some of our concerns and we were given free breakfast for 2 mornings… Everyone at the pool were talking about they’re upgrades for the inconvenience of the ac’s being out in the hotel which were upgraded to villas or suites guess we weren’t so lucky.
