Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Disappointing in every single aspect of hotel services. A/C out, silly fan option provided little relief from tropical summer heat. Food, mediocre and over priced, including a suprising $8 fee for room service! Staff, helpless and clueless. Sauna door doesn't close, so sauna doesn't heat properly. No clean towels available at pool. We are local. We have stayed here many times in the past. We will not return

We enjoyed our stay; the hotel looks nice, and the personnel is friendly and nice. We didn't like that there was no A/C in the hotel, it was not working and the weather was hot.

The hotel is a bit dated. Room was reported to have air conditioning and did not. The food was ok but they overpriced the drinks. Bottle of water $9.76 & Baileys & Coffee $13.50.
