(+): Excellent staff; clean scented rooms; clean grounds; very good breakfast buffet; efficient and helpful staff in maintenance and at front desk. I asked for a tour of the property, so i can recommend the property, and i got a very nice tour. (-): The property is ok. I have been in two rooms and they were scented with a different fragrance in each room. I didn't reserve a fragrant room. Its not healthy for me to sleep 8 hrs inhaling anything other than oxygen. In about 15 minutes my nose become desensitized to the fragrance and only when you go outside and return do you realize that the scent is still there. This olfactory fatigue is a no no for me, not to mention that when i got home, my clothes was infused with that fragrance. .. I tried the restaurant's bar and ordered 'jerk chicken bowl' and 'grilled seabass'. I got a tea cup size of rice and twelve popcorn size pieces of plain chicken...not jerk chicken. The price point is 31.50 naf. The grilled sea bass dish was a tea cup of rice, tea cup of greens, and small pieces of a white fish covered with a white sauce. The fish wasn't grilled. The price point 42 naf. See image of receipt above. The price points for both items didn't match the portions, quality or taste. This is unacceptable. The hotel needs more labeling on the buildings or the cobblestone. I was lost three times finding my way back to block 7...and i wasn't the only one. Its an excellent place, for folks 25 to 45 years old..its an active space, IMHO.

Room was outdated and not as clean as it should’ve been. There are no elevators so we were going up and down 3-4 flights of stairs daily and with luggage. A staff member did help to bring bags up upon arriving. Other than that, our stay was fantastic!! Nice staff. Beautiful salt water pool with plenty of lounge seating. Several restaurants, shops and casino a few steps away! Super convenient and lively without being noisy. After 10pm things really settled down in the area. Great experience. Would highly recommend

We had a great stay! The rooms were modern, clean, and comfortable. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of options, and the beach club was definitely a highlight. The only thing that could be improved was the check-in process, which was a bit slow and not very organized. But overall, the hotel is great, and we would definitely stay here again!

The property itself is beautiful with well-kept grounds, a great saltwater pool, and stunning ocean views. Parking was free and convenient, and the nearby plaza and grocery store were helpful. Unfortunately, the rooms were poorly lit, bathrooms showed discoloration and weren’t properly cleaned, and service was inconsistent at best. I often felt like I had to plead for solutions and was even debated with over issues that should have been resolved quickly. While a few staff members (Mark, Nedra, and Minako) were wonderful, overall hospitality felt uneven, and as a Black American traveler, I noticed others received better treatment. The final disappointment was having to drag my own bags down nearly five flights of stairs at check-out because no bellman was available. Beautiful views, but not an experience I’d return to or recommend.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Property grounds were ok but sand around rooms could have been cleaned, there were a lot of birds and iguanas looking for shade right in front of the rooms, the bed was motel vibes , hard with cheap bedding, if you sat a drink down and walked away , you would return to find it covered with little ants , there are no elevators for beachfront rooms which are more like beach view , so you will have to drag luggage up or down, staff aren’t the friendliest , food is mid mostly , it’s boring , no real entertainment on the resort, I wouldn’t recommend this for American POC, I was charged 6 dollars at the end for 3 local calls , you have to go back up the hill for ice, they require you to ask for a gym pass daily at the front desk, beach towels are initially left at your room, but since I switched rooms I had to go back to reception for beach towels, a lot of work while on vacation , the locals said this resort doesn’t have the best reputation and I should’ve tried the Marriott 😞

My stay at this hotel was great overall. The environment and landscaping was nothing but scenic. Great photo opportunities. The staff were super friendly and accommodating even with the slight language barrier. However, almost everyone understood me fairly easily. The food was also great with an extensive breakfast. My one complaint would be the cleanliness of the sofa could have been better. It was actually pretty, visibly dirty in our room. The room also had a somewhat “bland”, dull smell. Like there was no smell at all, no fresh, inviting smell. I can’t explain it more than that. We requested some sort of air freshener which was handled by housekeeping shortly after. Nevertheless, I enjoyed my stay at the hotel and will return!!

The property is nice and well kept, staff are helpful and the breakfast options were plentiful. The two pools are nice especially the man made beach pool by the beach club. The only set back for me was the rental of the beach area every night for the week we were there to a private event. Music rattled our room every night till 1 or 2 am. On one of the nights was a fireworks show right outside our building. This really is the only complaint which ofc I assume is a one off situation.
