9.6/10 Exceptional! (93 reviews)

We stayed in the Ron Ron suite. Wonderful views. Great food and service at the restaurant. Hotel was difficult to find since it was the evening. The viewing platform had great views but lots of bugs and ants up there.

9.8/10 Exceptional! (38 reviews)

Our family used this as our last night stop close to the airport (LIR). It was just a key code to access the property with simple instructions to follow. The property was secure and private. Everything was new and very clean. Since we were traveling it was so nice they provided bathroom amenities, washer and dryer and full kitchen. The shower at this place was amazing and very relaxing. The best part was being given access to the beach club (5 min drive or 20 min walk). We went there and spent time at the beach and swimming in the pool. They offered outdoor showers, rentals of surf/boogie boards lounge chairs, etc.The pool was warm so my kids swam for hours. The offered drinks and a full menu. The staff was very friendly. Overall it was a great location and great stay.

8/10 Very Good! (1,529 reviews)

I had an amazing time at this hotel! The staff was very friendly, and my room was cleaned and the bed was made every day during my stay. The only downside was that the cell service was pretty bad, even when connected to Wi-Fi, but it wasn’t a big deal. The resort has about six pools and multiple restaurants. The buffet was my favorite—I ate there for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! They also have a steakhouse that was really good. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!
