“Generally great experience, the food was good, especially the outside lobster and shrimp skewers in the main, we actually preferred the main restaurant to the specialised restaurants. Great sandy beach, free use of kayak and stand up paddle board, snorkeling equipment if you ask we only realised the last couple of days. Lots of good stuff. Our kids were a bit cheeky and asked for extra Oreos from run service which they were given. The toilet didn't work but we were changed to a room where it……
“The checking-in was extremely low, the person in charge seemes not to be knowledgeable about the process. The rooms were supposed to be paid in full.
At the check out they messed up, charging me what I already paid. When I realized the error, nad they the agreed that was an error on their side, they told 15-30 day to reimburse the wrong charges.
Really not a very good customer service at the front desk.
Restaurant and other areas the service was excellent.”
“The staff is what makes the stay! An absolutely phenomenal group of people who truly care about you and what they do. Buffet food was great although the a la carte restaurants stood out.

There were a few snags along the way but……
“We’ve payed around 5000 dollars to enjoy 3 days and 2 nights, considering that we were star class, the check-in process was fine, they explained us our benefits, etc… During this period of time, the food was awful. We ate breakfast, lunch and dinner is this So Cal Buffet, and the quality of the food was horrible. The food was cold, cheap, disgusting and even hard to even look at or swallow. The people next to the table even called the food ‘’ass’’. And I totally agree. The lunch menu was fine,……
“This hotel deserves zero stars if that were an option. It was a terrible experience, and here’s why:
1. Outdated Facilities: The roof appears to have been neglected for years, and the overall condition of the facilities is poor.
2. Worn-out Bedding: The bed linens were old and tattered, making for an uncomfortable sleep.
3. Unpleasant Odor: The room smelled damp and musty, reminiscent of an old, poorly ventilated house.
4. No Umbrellas Provided: On a rainy night, the so-called resort had no……
“This was a favorite property!!! Oceanfront, gorgeous pool and gardens around the property. I love their commitment to the environment and welcome the natural wildlife within the property. The staff is so friendly, always ensuring you are doing well and enjoying your time. The food at the restaurant is delicious, and you can enjoy your meal beachside if you wish. The bungalows are spacious with a beautiful outdoor shower. The beach is wonderful to swim, walk and surf. Thank you to all the……
