the staff at the restaurant were not welcoming, breakfast options were constantly needing to be refilled and no one cared to stay on top of it. on the first day, our lunch meal was incorrect, and the waiter insisted he didn't hear me. We ate off premise after that experience.
Excellent option in SXM. Very clean and modern. Breakfast could use more variety. Beach is awesome, more than enough umbrellas and chairs. Front desk and beach staff is very responsive.
The place was very clean and friendly. There are many different restaurants in walking distance but they were also very accommodating at helping us make dinner reservations at other restaurants around the island. They had a car delivered to us to drive around the island.
Great Location, nice facility, wonderful beach, friendly helpful staff, walking distance to restarants. highly recommend it. good value for the money .
