3.5/5Good stay overall, but room for…
Liked: The breakfast was nice and delicious, location was perfect. The shuttle between hotels was a lovely amenity and the rooms were spacious. The hotels pool was large.
Heads-up for parents: There was a strange smell in the room from the bathroom when we arrived and there was some kind of mosquito infestation daily. The staff weren't warm and I found service to be very slow at times.
-
4.5/5Exceptional Staff, Service and Smiles!
Liked: Exceptional Staff. Exceptional Service. Exceptional Smiles.
Watch out: Shower! Dangerously hot, then freezing cold and cyclical repeat.

4/5
Liked: Location is great. Compound is well kept. Staff are professional. Food is good. Rooms are comfortable and clean.
Watch out: The gym isn’t great. Housekeeping seemed not to be providing towels or soap even after I requested. Restaurant menu needs to be expanded. The door to my porch never opened.
