Disliked: Staff & service
The service staff were nice and polite but EXTREMELY slow. Since their gratuity is already added to all checks, they have no sense of urgency. The wait for food and drink at the pool area was ridiculous. The hotel was also out of a lot of basics.

A Great Place to Stay!
The location was perfect ... easy access to everything, plus a beautiful beach area. The entire Staff were ourstanding ... very friendly and always smiling, and helpful. We especially liked Shantiqua and Pukacia (sp?) at the front desk, the doormen, the bar staff, and also Daniel (the Manager) who helped us with a small issue. The beds were very very comfortable ... and the shower made us feel right at home ...
