Pros: The grounds are beautiful. Guest relations is beyond and above expectation.

Cons: For 4 or 5 star hotel, I expected a formal dining restaurant; I expected the mini bar to be fully stocked. I expected quality service from the housekeeping staff...returning to my room and finding no toilet paper is unacceptable....having one glass in the bathroom for a room for 4 people is unacceptable. My one and only significant complaint is with customer service and being subjected to maintenance activity on a much too regular basis.

Pros: I particularly appreciated the courtesy and the generally warm and kind service staff. They were simply WONDERFUL! I, in fact want to write the management to express my appreciation and especially commend them on their staff especially those working the poolside restaurant-breakfast,lunch and dinner. GREAT SERVICE!

Cons: absolutely nothing;only that the stay ended too quickly...LOL

Horrible experience. Rooms were terrible and A/C

Cons: A/C wasn't working properly. Room was stifling. They were unable to fix it. Be weary of hidden costs on your bill. Very deceptive, had extra charge that were not disclosed up front. Do not stay here.

Beautiful pool, beach access

Pros: Beautiful space with very friendly and helpful staff. Nice rooms with comfortable beds, but we'll remember it for the pool and short walk to the beach.

Pros: Restaurants, transportation, beaches, safe, beautiful clean hotel, friendly staff, buffet breakfast was outstanding, gardens around the hotel very well kept (even exotic animals). Over all a wonderful experience.

Cons: WiFi was limited and difficult to connect to. Be aware of the beach vendors who may try to rip you off (not really a hotel issue)

Bad start then was ok.

Cons: I was threatened by one of the employees. He also followed me around. I didn't sleep the first night because they put me in in area next to a busy road. It was like sleeping outside next to a freeway it was so loud.
