Ellen, Jul 2025
Pros (+) The king size room with ocean view had a fabulous large bathroom with double sinks, shower, bath and separate toilet suite. The mineral pools were amazing and the spa treatments were excellent! Staff were very friendly and we felt very well looked after here.
Cons (-) The only comment we had was that there could have been a bigger gym/fitness centre with more equipment and gym classes.

Cons (-) The new restaurant stuff is less experienced, less devoted and it shows in the level of quality of service here and there. My examples: - we waited 40min after being seated at the table in the Pizza place located n the hotel building to be approached and acknowledged. The stuff was going about their shift like in any typical mediocre bar with zero enthusiasm. The excellence of the service is compl...

Pros (+) Property was gorgeous. They are currently in the middle of a remodel of the spa but you really could not tell. Service was excellent. Very attentive staff. They also have multiple plug ins for electric vehicles.
Cons (-) The only complaint I have is that the drinks from the pool bar were awful!!!! We got mojitos and asked for extra mint. They had 3 mint leaves and just tasted of sour mix. I don’t mind if you charge me $20 for a drink, but it needs to be delicious. We poured them down the sink.
