I had a very disappointing experience with this hotel. I arrived with a fully paid reservation made through Hotels.com and showed my payment receipt, yet I was told there were no rooms available and that the hotel was fully booked. The staff said they never received my reservation and claimed it was not their responsibility, blaming Hotels.com instead. The manager, Gilberto, was rude and unhelpful, showing no interest in assisting, taking responsibility, or offering any solution. I was left without accommodation despite having already paid in full. Because of this situation, I had to pay for a taxi, book another hotel at a higher price, and deal with unnecessary stress. In addition, the hotel’s facilities did not appear well maintained, which further added to the negative experience. This situation was not my fault. A hotel should honor a paid and confirmed reservation or properly assist the guest when an issue occurs. I am requesting a full refund of my money, as I did not receive the service I paid for. Due to the lack of professionalism and poor customer service, I would not recommend this hotel.

This place was way better than expected. The room was super nice, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The pools are also very nice—one is in a bit of an odd location and is on the smaller side, but still enjoyable overall. The food honestly exceeded my expectations. I had full plates every day during the five days I stayed. Everything was served hot and well kept. I work in food service, so I was a little nervous after reading some other reviews, but I had no issues at all. The only real downsides were that towels are only changed on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and our toilet stopped working a couple of times. That said, maintenance came to fix it immediately each time—before I even had a chance to call. Overall, for the price and what you get, I would definitely book here again.

The food was good. Just not a variety of dining options. We like to dress up and have a nice dinner unfortunately that was not an option. the snack shop and the reservation area are the same. No atmosphere. The nicest area, which is very beautiful and very cozy was catered to family, which is fine but doesn’t make sense. It has the amazing beds but no one can relax or sleep with screaming children around. The staff warmed up eventually, but service is not a reason to stay. They do the minimum and don’t seem happy about even doing that 😕 but maybe that’s just how is is there. Make sure you don’t get a room by the exit door they tend to slam most of the night.

Very disappointing stay. We arrived at 7 AM exhausted and asked for early check-in, even offering to pay extra. The front desk refused to help, even when we asked at 1 PM just to store our bags in just 1 room till they have all 3 rooms ready. My aunts’ room had a broken toilet, a shower that stopped working, and a sink that wouldn’t drain. Staff came a few times but barely tried and never fully fixed anything. We kept reporting the issues, and the front desk either ignored us or said to wait until the next day at 3 PM for a room change. They told us to use a bathroom outside the room after telling them how are my aunts going to use the bathroom and shower … The problems were only fixed after we had to get loud and confront them in front of other guests — only then did they finally take action. Food was decent, drinks were watered down, and the dining staff ignored us often. Overall, terrible customer service and very poor responsiveness. I do not recommend this hotel.

Moldy smell throughout the room as soon as we entered. Our room flooded from balcony overnight. All the stuff on the floor got wet. My mom even slipped when packing up our stuff. We informed staff but they took over an hour to send us smaller room for only 2 person for 4 of us. They didn’t give us key card for room; they said systems were down and they will change the room later. Limited menu breakfast to Caribbean food. We had to leave and book another hotel instead of staying 4 days.
