The property was nice and the staff. Wasn’t sure to use complimentary tabs or if there was a charge for them. Didn’t use my birthday drink voucher because they weren’t available to use until 11 and I was already on with my days for adventure and sad didn’t use prior to leaving back home. One thing I was disappointed with was the cleanliness of the room. It appears clean but I’ve found two roaches in the room roaming near the tv and bedding area so my nights were restless having to wake up every now and then to be sure nothing else was crawling on me. Pest treatments are recommended to change my mind in the future for rating . My “upgrade” promised an ocean view from previous selection for $50 more a night I got a side view and main focal point was the pool area. My friends were asked about upgrades to their rooms too. Just be sure to double check what you pay extra for prior to agreeing . Parking near our tower was limited so you got lucky if you got a spot. They do provide more space but it is a distant for us and down hill. Wristband as room keys were beneficial for the trip and waterproof so didn’t have to worry about losing any keys. My ratings were all necessary for this trip.

I liked how centralized it was in the island. Convenient to get anywhere you wanted to go. Also the easy access to both the pool and beach. Restaurants were good as well. However the property was under construction shutting down half the jacuzzi’s and restaurant next to the pool. The biggest complaint would be with the room. The tv hardly worked and then finally broke the last night. Plus the noise from the hallway! At night and in the early morning you could hear all doors opening and closing. Voices and footsteps echoed under our door into the room. Overall it’s a very nice property and we had a good time.

The hotel property is beautiful and well-kept. Some construction was going on during our stay, but it wasn't disruptive. The hotel did a good job accommodating the remodeling of a restaurant by putting up an outdoor seating area near the pool. The staff was very welcoming and friendly. We had access to most services. We would recommend taking advantage of everything that goes into the resort fees (free appetizers, a few drinks, discounted activities, etc). The rooms are comfortable and clean. The interior of the rooms and hallways looked updated.

4.5 Stars overall, only because there was construction and it’s hard to give a full five stars. Facility was overall clean. The room was super clean and neat, pool was amazing. Walkable to the beach and the public beach was clean and was never crowded when we were there. We’ve seen the beach calm and a couple of days were very choppy but beautiful nonetheless. There were stores and restaurants that were walkable. And we had a car and drove out when we wanted. Staff was super friendly. The girl from front desk was very accommodating. And every time we picked up the phone for information or to request for some thing, they were very accommodating as well. Will definitely come back next year.
