I stayed here over the weekend, and overall the experience was good, but definitely not what I expected for the price and the luxury vibe the hotel promotes. The rooms were okay, but they feel outdated and would really benefit from a remodel to match the hotel’s aesthetic. Another downside is the construction noise. Starting around 9 AM, you can hear work being done around the hotel, and even at the beach on the left side, there were workers and heavy machinery going on a Saturday midday, which was annoying when trying to relax.
One thing I didn’t like was all the extra fees. At check-in, they let you know that pool access, beach access, towels, beach chairs, and even the umbrella at the beach cost extra. The umbrella alone was $19, and cabanas were an additional fee as well. It adds up quickly and should be more transparent beforehand. The shuttle that takes you from the hotel to the beach is convenient, and the bar and restaurant by the beach were very nice.
We also used the spa, which is not included. The amenities were beautiful—sauna, steam room, jacuzzi—and we got a couple’s massage. It was good but nothing extraordinary. For breakfast, we chose the buffet and loved it. Great variety and the staff was very warm and welcoming. All the restaurants inside the hotel were truly excellent.
Due to the construction, they did offer the option to switch to a villa farther away from the noise, which I appreciated. Overall, a nice stay, but with renovations and fewer surprise fe
