The beach is not a swimming beach at all, a lot of rocks. They need to explain better the all inclusive packages online, I thought I bought an all inclusive package online and I didn’t. I bought the package at the hotel. The hotel is in deteriorating, they need to take care of the facility.

The grounds and atmosphere were lovely. We had several issues with the room not being well equipped, i.e. the telephone did not work, light bulbs were out, requested face towels several times. The front desk attendants failed to let us know that our lost luggage had arrived at 11:00 am the day after we arrived. We found out at 4:00 pm after we inquired. I was told that they tried to call us, however the phones did not work in the room along with the radio and alarm. They could have simply knocked on the door. We were in the same clothes for two days.

Disliked: Amenities
I was surprised this was a Westin as it didn’t live up to the excellence I’ve come to expect from this brand.The room was good but I was unable to open the door to the patio. The beach and pool area was good but ants were literally crawling all over the lounge chairs. The spa experience was poor - dirty changing area, clogged toilets, empty TP rolls. The massage was akin to Massage Envy. The food was meh. The server actually forgot that he’d seated me & took care of others who arrived after me. Info about the hotel was printed on small sheets of copy paper — something you’d get at a 2-star hotel. This may be good for some people but I have higher standards for a Westin.
