My experience at this resort was horrible. Upon arrival we were greeted properly! Got up to our room and it was filthy, hair everywhere, washcloths and our balcony was dirty. They came to clean our room while we were settled in. Each day we had lunch by the pool and we realized on the second day that they were giving us different menus with the same food and different prices. My mother spoke on this matter and they quickly snatched the menu from us. The power on the right side of the room did not work so I could not charge my phone at night. The power went out in the hotel one night and they told us that it was the whole island, it was not. We were without air for about an hour and a half. We could not access the beach as advertised due to the ridiculous amount of seaweed which I understand is nature but this was not conveyed to us. The taxi services that we paid for through JW Marriott was late picking us up from the airport and late getting us to our excursion which we had to pay extra for to even get on board. They were charging us credit card fees with someone from the island told us that that was illegal. The restaurants that are advertised in the resort were not open the service in the one restaurant that was open was terrible. My mother hurt herself in the sauna because they had wooden blocks that were not properly nailed to the ground and had nail sticking out of them. It seemed like every day something went wrong, which ruined our stay.

We originally checked in at the Sonesta hotel, but since it was so dirty, we left there and booked the Marriott. When we arrived at the Marriott, the service was amazing, the staff was beyond friendly and very helpful. You can definitely tell that this is a five star hotel. The restaurants are very good, the only thing is is that the hotel is far from everything. It is about 30 minutes from everything and you have to pay $50 cab rides back-and-forth. There is no beaches over there. You have to drive about 20 to 30 minutes to the nearest beach if there was beaches and was near everything it would be much better. This is a very quiet hotel they didn’t have anything going on no live entertainment or anything. But the hotel was very clean. The staff was great. The food was amazing and the rooms were very nice.

Staff were super nice. Room was nice. Food was terrible. We ate at the hotel when we arrived around 1pm. Everything we ordered tasted like it was prepared hours ago and not fresh. From the calamari to the fries. Everything dry, stale and cold. It was really bad for such a hotel name and destination. We gave the hotel food a second chance and ordered room service at 8pm our third night. Again cold chicken wings that were so dry n tasted like they were prepared at noon or leftover from day before. Not worth the price we paid for this hotel…

The staff is a mixed bag and not very friendly except a handful. They treated me and my family very rudely at the pool when we went to the beach for approx 15 minutes and threw away everything from our chairs, when everyone was doing the same thing. They provided mis information about local travel details, they also caused a massive headache and mess when checking out! I do not recommend !!!
