This is a lovely hotel with excellent service. Staff is warm and gracious. The grounds are beautifully maintained. Restaurants are very good. I understand that the rooms are undergoing an upgrade. In line with this, I have to comment on the poor condition of the wicker furniture in our room and in the main lobby. Also, in one of the corridors leading from the lobby the wall covering was starting to peel. I trust that these issues will be addressed.

The hotel was amazing! The staff was excellent, everyone super friendly, happy to help and go the extra mile. The rooms are beautiful, and the views are gorgeous. We got upgrated to a room with a full porch and it was the best thing, we absolutely loved having that porch and sitting out there to enjoy it. The restaurands at the hotel property are great and provide excellent service as well. The beach is beautiful and clean. We loved seeing the dolphins at the property and learning more about them as well from the their trainers. Highly recommend!

A bit tired looking. Needs a refurb.

Great location but the hotel looks very tired and a bit tacky in places. The decor needs an update. The coffee and croissants in the shop are heinously priced. $20 for a machine made espresso and a synthetic pastry is insanity. Needs a proper coffee shop. Too many weddings also meaning half the hotel was inaccessible.
