I expressed my concerns to management and they responded unapologetic. Also there was a random charge for valet parking when we parked in the open parking. I would recommend that when you stay there you get a receipt when you check out.

The property itself was great. Most of the staff were wonderful, except the gift shop employee that was rude and less than helpful. My only real complaint is that non of the amenities opened at the advertised times. Pool opened hours late, pool bar opend hours late, and the shop by the pool never opened.

There was a incredible outdoor pool and a heated indoor pool. There were pool towels available too and all you had to do was return them. The room was nice but it wasn't 4 star quality I don't think. Even decent hotels have microwaves available for families but there was not one so it was inconvenient. The front desk staff wasn't easy to communicate too. He just seemed like a robot set to say the same things over and over again instead of understanding what the customer is saying and assisting them properly. But it is a beautiful hotel, everything is awesome about it, the spa, the gym, the pool, theres a sauna too! The rooms just didn't live up to expectations, as so the bathrooms in the room.

Mediocre at best

This hotel has seen better days. No trash bags in the cans, holes and what looked like mold on our sheets and stains on comforters. Beds are super uncomfortable and a phone that didn’t work but an alarm clock set for 4:39 that woke us all up. Will definitely seek other accommodation while visiting the island.
