While the property itself was undeniably stunning, there were numerous issues that marred our experience.
Perhaps the most frustrating problem was the lack of hot water. Out of our six-day stay, we had hot water for only two days. This made showering, especially for our children, an uncomfortable and challenging task. Despite repeatedly bringing this concern to the attention of the staff, it seemed as though they simply didn't care. Eventually, we had to escalate the issue to Expedia, and I must commend them for their prompt and efficient assistance.
Another significant letdown was the cleanliness of the room. It was evident that only surface cleaning had been done, as the room barely met basic hygiene standards. Shockingly, the room wasn't cleaned at all for the first two days of our stay. The baseboards were covered in dirt, and the state of the shower was downright appalling. Considering the resort is relatively new, one would expect a greater emphasis on attention to detail and cleanliness. It was evident that the resort was understaffed.
Furthermore, the a la carte booking system proved to be a disappointment. The resort scheduled two dinner for us on the same day, with a mere two-hour gap between them. They couldn't rebook us so we didn't get any value here.
Given the aforementioned shortcomings, I would suggest considering an alternative resort until these issues are rectified. With improvements in these areas, Helea could undoubtedly become a truly exceptional
