Alicia Panoramic Hills Vacations from $135

Rooms are quite small, especially the bathroom and so is the pool but this is expected considering the affordable price. It is in forest/jungle surroundings, a short drive to the beach and airport. I might suggest renting a car or having Grab on your phone to get around. The hotel was opened in January, 2025 so it was very new and clean looking with a nice entrance and friendly staff. The breakfast buffet is nothing special but gets the job done. I only stayed one night so I was satisfied enough with it. If I stayed longer I can imagine I’d be tired of it after having it twice. The buffet coffee was instant coffee.

This hotel was amazing, the rooms were fantastic, the breakfast buffet was delicious, but the staff were the best. I believe their names were Joan (there were 2 ladies named Joan) and Shem (I didn't get the spelling), they were the most helpful and nicest people ever at the breakfast buffet. I highly recommend this hotel. The only drawback, they really didn't want you swimming in the ocean - the first time they said it was after 5 and no lifeguard was on duty, the second time it was the middle of the day and they said no lifeguard on duty. There were several groups wanting in, finally they brought a lifeguard and we were able to get in water. They really need to fix that - just let it be swim at your own risk. Snorkeling didn't seem to be that great, clear water but not much to see.

The property is a bit dated but still lovely and with amazing views. Wonderful staff. Large rooms. I wouldn't rely on the internet, though. I'll definitely be a repeat customer. It's the best value on the island.

When we arrived the first impression of this place was darn what did we get ourselves into. We looked at the map to see if this property had beach or ocean access. It was misleading as yes it is by the water but no there is no access as the gate is closed. The pool was green colour and the lobby area is by the driveway which had a lot of dog poop. This hotel has a lot of potential if properly kept. We moved to another resort after

Service was magnificent. If you’re looking to get away and relax, this is the place. Thank you Secret Garden for the top tier hospitality.
