Pros
Nice private beach with easy snorkeling access (for a fee at the dive shop). Beach is man-made, look into the history. I didn’t know before booking and if I did I probably would have found a more ethical place.
Free and plentiful beach chairs and loungers.
Lazy river was a fun little way to cool off as was the water slide!
Kitchenette is great for making a few meals in the room and saving money. You can walk to the supermarket, about 15-20 minutes away.
Cons
Hotel provided limited amenities without a fee. Odd that you have to request a microwave in your room (even though it’s a kitchenette) and a blanket, and face towels. You only get 2 nespresso capsules for your stay. I think you can buy more from reception. Higher prices at restaurants but to be expected from a resort.
A little bait and switch feeling at times. Yoga is offered on the website/expedia but it’s available for a fee like $10/day. Car rental is 2 day minimum, also not stated online.
Room only cleaned every 3 days (so only once in my 5 night stay). There were a lot of little ants in the room. Plus sand and dust from all the wind. Seems like daily or even every other day cleaning should be provided.
Power outage one day and nothing to provide alternatives/resources to guests.
