    Expensive for the property and what they offer- pool & chairs weren’t updated. Some looked like they were used from previous hotel properties. We purchased cabanas everyday but service was super slow and food wasn’t great

    Rooms were new

    The a la carte options for food and drinks, a minimum included would have been appreciated, at least the beakfast buffet, 40$/person for eggs and fruits is a little much,

    Beautiful hotel, modern rooms, clean clean clean, great service and beautiful amenities!

    Pleasant Stay with Some Annoyances

    Only one restaurant open throughout my 3-night stay. I understand it’s low season, but a stand-alone resort with 400 guest rooms needs to offer more variety. Surprise “Resort Fee” of US$ 50/night.

    Good staff at Front Desk, somewhat variable at restaurant/coffee shop. Stylish, tasteful guest room. Well-conceived pool area, immediately adjacent to beach, providing seating/lounging without crowding. Surprisingly good food at restaurant, including a juicy home-made-patty hamburger and crisp quesadillas.

    This is suppose to be a beach hotel but the beach was unusable due to the fact that the prevailing winds cause very high waves all along the short beach. The beach walk was only 100 or 150 yards and no way to make it longer due to the cliffs around it. It was quite expensive considering the “beach” situation.

    The room was very nice and the restaurants were good.

    Even though our trip was short everything exceeded our expectations and WE will be back.. Janis at the front desk was very helpful and welcoming.. Our steak and pasta were on point and the buffet as well. We loved everything about our room and the staff around the property were very friendly.

    The location is horrible. There’s nothing around and the beach has tons of seaweed. The layout is terrible. The lobby is huge but a waste of space. The bar is located as soon as you walk in, with the check in desk on the other side. The hotel also seemed incomplete.

    The rooms are nice & spacious.

    Problems resulting from the opening which happens to early: noises of construction works behind the wall of your room, dirt on the corridor incl. carpets put there by workers every date in front of our room. Water was cut of in our room for 1 days (hotel manager did not charge us for this night), not working TV set and safe (these were quickly repaired). The Gym was not fully equipped (e.g. weights were missing). Our rooms were not on the house keeping list and I had to personally make sure that they are cleaned. Starting day 4 cleaning worked well. They were troubleshooting alarm so it was unbearable to stay at room for two days (each time the alarm was on for c. 20 minutes). Because the hotel is new it still is missing its feel and smell (random art at walls, no green, no smell, missing details). Don”t expect that now as they are more focused on adding new rooms rather than paying attention to small nice things

    This is a property with great potential. Beautiful pool area and very nice beach (narrow but easily accessible. Food at restaurants was tasteful although the breakfast selection could be better ( I was missing veggies) and the service waiting time at dinner was too longThe staff is super friendly and helpful and they saved our stay. This hotel was open on 1 March and is still under construction. Entire wing is being constructed every day and you should expect workers everywhere and construction site like inconvenience if you plan to be there in the next couple of months
