We booked the Chairman Sky Suite for my wife’s 40th birthday—traveling as a family of six—and expected a premium, white-glove experience. Unfortunately, the resort didn’t deliver.
Check-in took 45 minutes. Our butler gave a brief tour, promised the room by 3pm, then vanished. We didn’t hear back until I asked other staff. When we got into our suite, we were told the TV didn’t work and would need to move. We packed, then were told to stay—only for the TV to keep glitching. We couldn’t order room service through it and had to text our butler instead.
Before the trip, I asked the hotel to arrange something special for my wife’s birthday. The butler had no idea and missed the promised time. She didn’t receive anything until turndown service at 6pm—an unfortunate letdown.
The butler service was reactive, not proactive. We expected help with dinners, chairs, and activities—but often waited hours for responses. For the last 3 days, our master bathroom smelled like sewage. We reported it, but nothing was fixed—no follow-up or credit offered.
The kids loved the pools and water parks. Dinners were decent, though activities felt underwhelming. But for the money we spent, the service and attention to detail didn’t match what was advertised. This resort has potential—but the execution fell short and didn’t live up to the luxury vacation we paid for.
