The property is new and beautiful, the staff friendly and helpful. but they have serious problems. There was no running water at all on 3 of 4 nights I stayed there and on 2 out of 4 afternoons. It was on and off the rest of the time. And not just my room but in restrooms by the restaurant etc. That may well be the lack of infrastructure on the very dry island that just doesn’t have enough water for everyone as opposed to the fault of the hotel itself but it is of course not what you expect at a 5 star hotel. It may not be a good idea to develop more tourism on the island. Other than that, my room wasn’t ready for check in before 5.30 which isn’t great. But they arranged a massage for me so it was fine.

The property was beautiful but was very quiet. It's a space for relaxing. When I arrived, the water to shower was brown, the show tub was flooding, and when the repair man came he tracked dirt and water all over the floor and didn't clean it up. Also, no one came to clean the room and the front desk did not have towels. I had to wait for the next day to get clean towels. The property manager was also not accommodating. I switched hotels to move to the Riu Palace.

Great hotel. Not enough information.

Amazing hotel, very clean with friendly staff. We were in the levels room with an upstairs. Before we booked we phoned to see if there was a toilet upstairs and were told there was. However, there wasn’t! And the stairs were not good at night. Don’t think we were given enough information when we arrived.

Great stay. I arrived early in the morning and it was nice that they have courtesy showers and changing rooms. There are so many pools and outside lounge areas that you could always get a beach lounge. I don't drink alcohol, but it was so nice that when you went to a bar for water, they gave you a liter size bottle. Also nice to not have to carry money. Food was very good and no matter your dietary preference you will be able to find many choices. I especially liked the ice cream bar. For a more special dining experience, I highly recommend making reservations at their restaurant Casa Nostra. Although not in Santa Maria proper, they have a shuttle there or it is just a 5 minute cab ride. I would definitely stay here again.
