I’d give this hotel an overall 2 out of 5. The location is pretty far from the main attractions, so it’s not the best choice if you’re looking for a good balance between nightlife and relaxation. The room also didn’t smell very pleasant, and several areas around the resort seemed broken or in need of maintenance. The bed was uncomfortable since it was two twin beds pushed together, which made it hard to get a good night’s sleep. The staff overall wasn’t very friendly, but Kayla at the front desk was an exception—she was kind and helpful during my stay. During my trip, I took a ride over to Kontiki/Mambo Beach, and that’s where I’ll be staying next time. The area had a much better vibe and was a lot more fun. Overall, this hotel was just okay, but I’d recommend looking closer to the beach for a better experience. & MAKE SURE YOU GET A RENTAL IF YOU STAY HERE OR YOU WILL BE PAYING 30-40 dollars a ride!

Staff is amazing! Met us at the car, grabbed our bags for us, walked us to the counter and even offered us a cold towel to refresh ourselves! Check in was smooth and quick and they walked us to our room, told us where we could park and made sure we were happy with the room before leaving us. Room was spotless!! We told them it was our honeymoon and they had a bottle of wine waiting for us in the room. The stay was amazing! Tons of stuff to do around the hotel. Definitely will be back! 100% recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing stay in paradise

(+): Excellent staff; clean scented rooms; clean grounds; very good breakfast buffet; efficient and helpful staff in maintenance and at front desk. I asked for a tour of the property, so i can recommend the property, and i got a very nice tour. (-): The property is ok. I have been in two rooms and they were scented with a different fragrance in each room. I didn't reserve a fragrant room. Its not healthy for me to sleep 8 hrs inhaling anything other than oxygen. In about 15 minutes my nose become desensitized to the fragrance and only when you go outside and return do you realize that the scent is still there. This olfactory fatigue is a no no for me, not to mention that when i got home, my clothes was infused with that fragrance. .. I tried the restaurant's bar and ordered 'jerk chicken bowl' and 'grilled seabass'. I got a tea cup size of rice and twelve popcorn size pieces of plain chicken...not jerk chicken. The price point is 31.50 naf. The grilled sea bass dish was a tea cup of rice, tea cup of greens, and small pieces of a white fish covered with a white sauce. The fish wasn't grilled. The price point 42 naf. See image of receipt above. The price points for both items didn't match the portions, quality or taste. This is unacceptable. The hotel needs more labeling on the buildings or the cobblestone. I was lost three times finding my way back to block 7...and i wasn't the only one. Its an excellent place, for folks 25 to 45 years old..its an active space, IMHO.

Room was outdated and not as clean as it should’ve been. There are no elevators so we were going up and down 3-4 flights of stairs daily and with luggage. A staff member did help to bring bags up upon arriving. Other than that, our stay was fantastic!! Nice staff. Beautiful salt water pool with plenty of lounge seating. Several restaurants, shops and casino a few steps away! Super convenient and lively without being noisy. After 10pm things really settled down in the area. Great experience. Would highly recommend

We had a great stay! The rooms were modern, clean, and comfortable. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of options, and the beach club was definitely a highlight. The only thing that could be improved was the check-in process, which was a bit slow and not very organized. But overall, the hotel is great, and we would definitely stay here again!

The property itself is beautiful with well-kept grounds, a great saltwater pool, and stunning ocean views. Parking was free and convenient, and the nearby plaza and grocery store were helpful. Unfortunately, the rooms were poorly lit, bathrooms showed discoloration and weren’t properly cleaned, and service was inconsistent at best. I often felt like I had to plead for solutions and was even debated with over issues that should have been resolved quickly. While a few staff members (Mark, Nedra, and Minako) were wonderful, overall hospitality felt uneven, and as a Black American traveler, I noticed others received better treatment. The final disappointment was having to drag my own bags down nearly five flights of stairs at check-out because no bellman was available. Beautiful views, but not an experience I’d return to or recommend.
