Elevator not working. Have to use employee elevator and they are very rude. Was a terrible experience for us. I spoke with front desk and management but they don’t care.

8/10 Very Good

Surprising
Surprisingly, I really liked the hotel. The unfortunate experience of having their elevators broken is what brought my rating down. I understand things may be broken, but the hotel shouldv'e compensated in other ways. Waiting 20 minutes for a service elevator while the maintence men rode up and down is unacceptable. And yes, we did speak to the front desk (manager wasn't available).

6/10 Good

The hotel is decent, the beach is beautiful. The beach bar has decent food and good cocktails. The hotel seems a bit in disrepair, their elevators were down leaving a full hotel only with a smelly and just not kept up service elevator to use for guests and team members trying to manage. Front staff at night wasn’t very friendly. The last 2 times I’ve stayed here it was nice, however, after this stay, I am not sure I want to return.

2/10 Poor

The elevators were broken for our entire 1 week stay, we had to share the freight elevator with the staff and they were not the most well behaved and polite personnel, a lot of them use profanity riding the elevator with us and we had kids with us. The pool was under repair, we couldn't use the pool for 4 days out of our 7 day stay; the hotel gave us a $100.00 credit per room for our entire stay, but when you pay $4,000.00 for 2 rooms getting $200.00 dollars credit for our inconvenience is sort of an insult! We will never stay here again.

The main lifts were out of action therefore the service lift was used which seemed unsafe, the wait for the lift was in access of 10 minutes at times, Pool area closed for refurbishment, use of neighbouring hotel was offer, challenged by staff who said we shouldn’t be using their facilities (wristband worn).,,

4/10 Fair

The property is in a very good location. A very beautiful beach. I loved the ambiance of the outdoor bar and seating area. The pool was kind of small. What I didn't love was the front desk person lied and said there was not a room available. So I went on Expedia and booked a room. The other problem was one elevator was out of order. The other one broke and I had to walk up five flights of stairs for hours. Some people were able to use the service elevator but the line wrapped around the lobby. Seems like a really old building that needs some updates, particularly in the mechanics. They've tried to update the rooms which are nicer but still lacking considering the price of the room.
