Check in was a mess. One line for check in and it took an hour. No one to greet you with a little bottle of water or tropical drink. No one to welcome you other than clerk you waited so long for. Two other counters open for CHECK OUT. No one was checking out at 4:30 in the afternoon but they were not allowed to check in. Poor management there. Also there is NO Concierge on the property. Odd for a resort of this size.

Property is lovely. Good food and campus is quiet at night. Always space for pool or beach. Beach isn’t swimable. It’s ok for nice walk through… ankles deep. Mangrove. Little farther from the main town so you would have to make do with onsite facilities. Strongly advise car to venture off daily.

The property is not close to anything other than a gift shop it may be a good idea to bring in one or two other convenience stores. Also the property is smoke free but people smoke outside and also on the beach it would be good to have some designated smoking areas for people who do smoke.

The cleaning service started really early and was very loud....slamming of doors, etc. I know they have a lot of rooms to clean, but I've stayed in many hotels and it's not been like this. The staff was friendly, the place was clean. The restaurant situation was a bit confusing as we couldn't quite figure out when specific restaurants were open.

We were not prompted to put down a credit card at check-in for incidentals. So when we went to get a drink at the pool bar, we had to pay by credit card. A few minutes later, I got a fraud alert from my credit card company that a $28,000 charge had been attempted. Had to cancel the credit card on the first day of our trip. Room missing amenities like hair dryer and body lotion. Unable to call front desk as room phone did not work. No book trading library. No concessions offered for inconveniences.

Stopped for 2 nights on the way to the airport after 2-month stay further west, had resided at the Cassa Bonita nearby last winter. Great location to the city, wonderful pools, check-in was smooth. Westen always has great breakfast buffets!! The only issue was that 1 front desk individual, when asked to break 2 $20's into 5's (for use as tips), flatly said not possible, offered no advice and then just walked away! Rude!! The lobby bar did assist. Would stay again, and recommend it.
