Frustrated Traveler
No customer service provided at this hotel. Staff was unwilling to help with simple requests. No return phone calls as promised. We are seasoned travelers, this has been the worse experience to date and all this before we even checked in. Just getting a person on the phone was very difficult and frustrating.

Loved the staff and the cleanliness. When I was checking out the staff member said that a set keys were found in the room and then anotff bf er staff said no. We got all the way across the island and realized that we didn’t have the other set of keys and had to return and spent our last day on the island in traffic instead of at the beach :( . Wish that there was less confusion about finding and locating the keys. And we were silly to leave them behind

Fine experience
We came here for our mini moon the week after we got married and our stay was generally OK. We put in our reservation notes and told the front desk upon arrival that it was a special celebration but didn’t really get acknowledged at all. Which, for how nice of a hotel and how costly, we would have hoped they would have put a little note in our room at the very least. Housekeeping “gets to your room by 5pm” which wasn’t ideal, as our first full day my husband had to ask them twice between 3:30-4:30 if they could have ours taken care of so we could get ready for dinner on time. Also, multiple times housekeeping left dirty glasses in our room vs swapping them out. Really lovely and well decorated hotel. Was convenient to shops, restaurants, beaches etc. overall fine stay.
