I stood for one night and the hotel rooms are spacious, well ventilated and illuminated. The parking was close to my room which was fantastic. The constructions, gardening, decorations really sets guests in the tropics. The staff was friendly. While my staying there was an electric shortage, but the hotel's manager resolved within 15 minutes.

The view and the stay is amazing ! It’s located in a perfect place ! The food amazing . I had a problem had to wait about an hour for them to put water in my room so I could shower , brush my teeth , or use the bathroom . Even after they put it on I took a shower afraid I was not getting water since the pressure was not working at all. For a place that looks amazing it sucked that the water was not working and they really were taking their time fixing it for my room

PERFECT FOR LARGE FAMILIES. I have 5 kids ranging from 1 to 12 and the layout of the rooms was perfect. The activities on site were also perfect. There's a pool that's safe for 5 year olds but deep enough so the older kids enjoy as well and a separate deeper pool for the bigger kids. BEAUTIFUL. PEACEFUL. PERFECT.

We faced a storm and the power went out. They have a power plant that allowed us to sleep comfortable (given how hot and humid, sleeping without A/C would have been difficult). The staff was very friendly, and very serviceable during the storm

The property has beautiful photos from say 10 years ago when everything was new. Now the facilities are deteriorated and have not had much upkeep. It was still a good stay. The beds were comfortable, and the location was nice. They do not allow you to rent any tours or jet skis and pick them up on their dock. It would have been nice to know beforehand.

pretty below standard hotel
The hotel in general was good, they had a seperate pool for children and adults which was not upheld, the adult pool was full of children… also no sunchairs there was about 4 in total. When questioned reception not much help… Second day there we ate in the restaurant and I got food poisning.. Having worked in restaurants 15 years of my life there is no excuse for bad hygene. My second day of two was spoiled because of this… at the time I was too sick to complain. The staff in general was attentive and very friendly.
