10 out of 10, DO NOT recommend at this time of year. The pictures and descriptions of this hotel lead you to believe there are activities for children, multiple heated pools, swim up bar, and two restaurants. In reality, there are no child friendly activities, there is one heated pool that is small and only 3 feet deep which is where the swim up bar should have been located. The other two pools are absolutely frigid, with the "kid dedicated" pool being about a foot low on water as well. Only one restaurant is open at a time, but there is no indication which is open without actually going there. Per the waitress, "If this one is not open, the other one is, but I'm not sure of the times." I reserved two rooms. We stayed on the pool side. Whenever I've stayed poolside, I expect noise of children playing, splashing, echoing voices. Pool side at this facility meant 60's and 70's classic rock music cranked loudly enough to hear the words starting at 7:30 AM and continued all day long. In my room, the floors were very dirty, the mirror was cracked and broken, there were not enough towels. When housekeeping "cleaned" the next day, dirty linens were left balled up on the beds. When I voiced my issues to the front desk, she responded with "I'm sorry, would you like a copy of your bill?" If I go to SPI again, I will stay at one of the smaller hotels for a fraction of this one. This place was not worth the cost. Dirty, run down, and not as advertised.

Room was “remodeled” so it had new flooring. Had to switch rooms because the first one we had, the AC looked like it was coming apart, the toilet had not been completely cleaned, and the fridge didn’t work. Next room was a little better, but the outlets in the room sparked when you plugged something in, and the microwave had the metal showing on the inside. I could go on, but I will digress. The only good thing was the view and the staff were nice.

We stayed here for a week. It was a mix of good and bad. Rhonda at the front desk was friendly and welcoming. The bar service was good. Food was delicious and prices were reasonable. The common areas were well kept and in good condition. The pool was clean and heated in the weekend. The rooms on the other hand are in need of some updates. Our shower curtain rod was rusty. The soap dispenser pump was broken. Housekeeping doesn’t speak much English so they hand you a phone to enter in your request so it can be translated. I put an empty Kleenex box on top of the Kleenex holder yet nobody noticed and I still had to hunt down staff to get a new one. The sink leaked around the faucet. We made several calls to Maintenance to get a working safe. The window curtains had water stains from where water leaked in through the window. The furniture was sticky and that didn’t go away with a good scrubbing. When our flight got cancelled and we had an additional stay, we moved to a different hotel. Weigh your options. There is much better in the island.

This stay was frustrating and poorly managed. We had to change three rooms: • the first room had a non-working air conditioner; • the second room had a broken shower; • the third room had a very weak shower, and the room faced ruins, which is not acceptable for a hotel stay. On top of that, construction work started at 7:00 AM right outside the window, with no warning. Sleeping was impossible. The staff were fine and did what they could, and the breakfast was good. However, this does not compensate for the overall condition of the hotel. The real issue is management/ownership. Basic things like air conditioning, showers, and sound comfort are clearly not maintained. Guests should not have to move rooms multiple times or wake up to construction noise. Until the owner invests in basic repairs and proper maintenance, this hotel cannot be recommended.
