A new resort that has possibilities to become a 4 star resort,. But for now they definitely have some work to do. Check in was a breeze no problem here, arrived at 3:00 pm on a Thursday, room was ready upon arrival. Staff was very friendly, courtesy, no problems here. Food was good by resort standards. I was able to enjoy each meal and did not starve. Day 2, ran into issues with house keeping, we did not receive wash rags and was told they ran out they were waiting on laundry. Day 3, still no wash rags, I had to speak with a manager and was told she would speak with housekeeping . This to me was a big red flag given the hotel was only at maybe 10% capacity what’s going to happen when operating at full capacity. This hotel did not offer any premium alcohol, again I had to track down a manager, just to get the bar stocked with Tito’s. I did discover another bar located within the Castle restaurant that offers premium alcohol at cost . “ Side eye , eye rolling “ 🙄 because the amount of money spent they really need to have a better selection at “ALL BARS” This resort only has three restaurants despite what the website says. The resort does not have a beach for swimming and is not located on the side with beautiful beaches and lacks in entertainment and activities. The resort is located on the far side of the island so be prepared to spend $100 + in taxi rides if you want to go off the resort. The resort did offer a free shuttle to the beach but only one day of the week (Wed)would be great if services were offered at least 2/3 times per week . I agree with some of the other comments regarding staff in need of training Especially during the alarm situation. Early in the morning the alarm went off with an announcement stating we needed to evacuate the building. No one seems to have a clue of what was going on and we received no communication or information from the hotel staff. . It is clear that some may have not worked in the hospitality industry before. One more very important detail, although the rooms are clean and spacious there is a very weird clear glass panel between the bathroom and bedroom, which makes it awkward if you are traveling with family or friends because you can see the person while they are showering. This is great for couples but not ideal for families and others. This design was definitely not thought through. Mgt may consider putting a frosted glass to eliminate this problem. Overall the resort has potential if management reads reviews and try to make necessary changes.
