While the location is beautiful, the hotel itself shows significant signs of age, particularly in the bathrooms which are outdated and in need of renovation. The housekeeping service was inconsisten, they made the bed daily but didn't vacuum the floors, leaving the room feeling less than fresh throughout our stay.I was surprised to find that bottled water isn't complimentary and must be purchased separately, which felt like an unnecessary extra cost for a hotel at this price point. The dining options on the island are limited, with only a handful of restaurants available. Most offer standard fare that's adequate but unremarkable. If you're a food enthusiast or enjoy exploring diverse culinary experiences, this destination may not meet your expectations.

Room was clean and very spacious, view are amazing. Room service was also super fast and very convenient as if you do not have a booking for restaurant you will not find food besides the lounge bar or the local tavern.

Staff were friendly but the room is quite dated and rundown. Bathroom was huge but needed deep cleaning. The shower glass panels are dirty, the shampoo/body wash pumps are not working properly. Definitely needs a refresh. Variety at the buffet breakfast was okay, but quality not so great. Soup was cold and sausages were hard as rocks. Seafood / salmon had bad fishy taste - not fresh at all. I felt bad wasting food but some were literally inedible and I gave feedback to one of the wait staff when he was collecting half eaten plates from our table.

The property is very well located. Great services, loved the free airport shuttle, great supply of beach towels. Great amenities, fabulous staff. Could have done with more staff at times and the property is starting to show its age. Probably due a deep clean too.

Disliked: Amenities
Overall our stay was nice. The check in and out was super easy. The air port transfers were great! Our room was nice, newly renovated. However. If we used up amenities they were never replaced. We had to ask for top ups on things like toilet paper. Which isn’t nice when you are away. Not something you want to think about. Overall, a nice stay. Accomodation is close to everything We were able to walk with ease to most places but if that’s not an option there were many useful transportation services around.
