We arrived for the Paradise Jam November 2025, Before our check in at 4pm. They held our Luggage until it was time to get in our room. We ordered lunch, it was pretty busy so it was a little wait. But everything came out good 👍. Our rooms were clean and they kept us with towels and rags. It's literally 2min from the airport. Great view of the beach from our balcony. We also enjoyed our nighttime kitchen staff Lincoln, he was very attentive to us.

The staff was excellent! The bed was very uncomfortable way too firm! And my biggest issue was nowhere to hang wet bath or beach towels and swimsuits. Would I stay there again? It’s gonna be a tough decision because of that bad my joints achef all night on that bed as compared to the Marriott and Limetree resorts I stayed in the night before and after that visit.

Slow internet speed, we were charged for breakfast even though we were guests of the hotel. When checking in myself and another party member with separate rooms were given keys to the same room and the hotel staff was very slow to resolve the issue.

resort was beautiful, drinks and food were DELICIOUS, bartenders and servers are very nice and attentive. Lincoln our server was very hospitable and very funny. Jetski rental is easy considering its right next to the resort on the beach, Randy, Adam, and John were extremely cool and fit us in last minute to rent the jetski. there is also this sweet cat that would come out at night, definitely enjoyed giving her some lovin (and our leftover food). the ONLY thing that makes this review 4 stars instead of 5 is there are these small ants in our room, especially in the bathroom. just a bit of a nuisance but other than that i would 100% stay here again!

Room was okay but maintenance was not up to snuff. First room had broken bed so we were moved to another room. Bed was ok but the phone didnt work. We mentioned it a few times but to no avail. How hard is it to switch out a phone?! Restaurant was good though as was the cleaning staff.
