The beach and swimming area was great. Some suggestions I would make: live music, spa service, laundry service, get rid of the automatic 18% gratuity, staff would be more diligent about their service, inform that you will be bombarded by cruise ship passengers on the beach, put in freshwater showers to rinse off after you get out of the ocean, provide fresh ice water in a large container so guest can refill their cups rather than charging $3.00 a bottle, update the menu (steak was on it but they did not have it), get rid or the roosters, chickens, and cats (I was awakened every morning between 3:00 & 5:00 am.

Hotel staff gave us great recommendations for local restaurants off the beaten path, the view from our room patio was perfect every morning with palm trees, ocean waves and sunshine. Being right on the beach for our honeymoon was our favorite part of the stay! We absolutely loved our stay there—perfect size and amenities for us.

Restaurant service very slow. Wanted a simple meal upon arrival and they would only allow us to order their specialized valentines meal. Beach too crowded while cruise ship people took over.

Cory, Chestnut Hill

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Honestly, the worst hotel we’ve ever stayed in- we had to leave and stay somewhere else. The amenities are atrocious, staff was rude, place is extremely outdated. The worst of it all was the lack of security. Locals just hanging out in the parking lot and around the property doing drugs and drinking. Came home from dinner with my wife and daughter and was followed. Stay far far away.

We do our homework & this hotel was as expected this not being our first Caribbean trip. Most of the staff met our expectations by being friendly & responsive. However allowing non-guest foot traffic to access the beach via the hotel property takes away from the experience. On other islands there are separate beach access paths between the hotels. This must make it impossible to keep the hotel walkways, stairs, & restaurant floor clean especially after runoff from heavy rain. Also I believe the beach chairs should be marked as "hotel guests only." the palapas spread farther apart & separated from the beach vendors selling cruise ship people chairs adjacent to the hotel.
