"No"

"Bethany was by far the friendliest and most helpful employee we encountered during our stay. She truly made a positive impression. The view of the ocean from our room was absolutely wonderful, and the beach itself was clean and well maintained. Unfortunately, we experienced several issues that made our stay disappointing—especially for an all-inclusive resort. The main restaurant was never open during our entire visit. We were able to eat at the buffet for breakfast and dinner when it was available, which still felt limited and if you missed the buffet window you were SOL. One day, after being out on excursions, we returned to the resort to find zero food options available. Room service was not offered, and the oceanside bar had closed its kitchen due to staffing issues. Since the resort is fairly remote, ordering outside food wasn’t practical. After a full day of snorkeling and kayaking, we were understandably starving and ended up purchasing food from the casino. While the casino had its own issues, by that point we weren’t surprised given how things were operating at the resort. Additionally, our room was not very clean upon arrival, which added to the frustration. Overall, while the ocean views and a few staff members like Bethany were highlights, the lack of reliable food options and cleanliness issues made this stay fall far short of what we expect from an all-inclusive experience."

"No real beach access very rocky. Staff never came. Kitchen facilities minimal. Was safe and quiet."

"Clean, most staff was amazing! All rooms there have private balconies overlooking the ocean which is very close! Beds are comfy and bathroom is updated. Food was decent, pool bar food was the best and available 11am-9:30pm. Drinks and bartenders were the best, they get to know you quickly and are very personable. Front desk was able to meet all our requests, anything you need go see them. Activities directors were lots of fun! They sit out by the pool from 10-5 with tye dye, bracelet making, painting, and will play bingo or trivia upon request. Pool is decent size, very clean and refreshing. Hot tub is big and not too hot for island life, a comfortable warm, especially at night. Casino across the street was great and never busy. They have longer food hours but you have to pay for food, the drinks and pretzels are free all the time. Ocean is perfect for swimming, yes there was seaweed but they had this cool tractor that picked it up off the beach every morning. Lots of cool rocks and shells to find all the time in shore. Bring goggles and you can see the floor of the ocean and find shells in the water too. Perfect sunrises! If you want to be away from party bars and shopping central, in a tranquil paradise to just chill and relax on island time, this is the perfect resort for you! Huge plus its adults only. There are taxis constantly running from the hotel to the many island tourist attractions its just a bit of a drive (30ish mins). We stayed a week at the end if Feb ‘26."
