Best Birthday Ever
This hotel is nice and is right on the beach. Don't listen to the negative reviews. Of course it needs to be remodeled but who cares. The room was nice, bed was soft, hot water, food was great, drinks were so good, location was perfect. A grocery store is a short 10 min walk. The hotel staff was so nice it was my birthday and they treated me like royalty. I will book this hotel again it saved me thousands of dollars compared to the other hotels.

Wow- this is surprisingly BAD
From the cinder block cell to the “doing me a favor” service, I’m a little disappointed. I bear much of the responsibility- I should have known better. I only ate on property one night- a pizza that clearly started in a box. I’ve never taken the time to pen a negative review but frankly, the disclosure is necessary.

The property is very old. The room was very tiny. The nightstand and dresser was made for concrete. I have never seen anything like that before. The stairwell and walkway was very dirty. That property really needs to be updated. Thankfully we only booked one night just to check out this place. I will not stay again until some major upgrades have been done. The breakfast was good I had vegetarian omelet with toast and coffee.

I loved playing volleyball however the condition of the ball was not great but that was the ONLY thing to keep us from being EXTREMELY BORED!! The pool bar closed at 4:45p, the pool closed at 7p. You have to walk far to get a drink. ALL of the drinks and food were freaking delicious! However, there was NO ENTERTAINMENT NO ACTIVITIES! There was nothing to do on the resort! You are FORCED to do excursions to keep yourself entertained, happy etc. the staff was absolutely amazing!! There was no water for a few hours and then we did not have any hot water for like 3 days it was horrible! The taxi was $40 from the airport and back. The room was not as big as we have hoped. But they kept it clean. Antigua was so beautiful the pools the beaches everything and you feel safe! But I will not be returning because of the resort.

The staff was great Kadie (two of them) Patrick, Kadau, Anaya, and the Chef very inquisitive regarding if the food was enjoyed and open to sharing recipes. The Lunch Chef was open and communicative friendly. The air conditioning could have been colder, the television contrast was extremely bad, the room wasn't cleaned for the entire seven day stay. We had to ask for new towels and rags. Overall good time!

The Hotel is not prepared to accommodate guests in my opinion. My first night my room was infested by gnats. When I reported it I was told” nothing can be done about it”. When I tried turning on my lampshade, I was zapped because instead of a knob to turn the lampshade on , it was raw exposed electrical wires. They moved me immediately to another room. Then there was the water issue the entire stay. They provided water bottles for us to wipe ourselves, this is unacceptable. Monique guest service manager, Vilma and the housekeeping supervisor were extremely nice and accommodating. Had it not been for them, I would rate the hotel a full zero!

There was a problem with water leaks for several days, and they kept switching off tap water. Also the machines in the gym were old and non-functional (2 tread-mills out of 2 are not functional)

Overall, a pleasurable experience. The furniture in the rooms needs updating. The staff are friendly. The staff clearly understands they are behind the eight ball with the furniture, but they still tried to make us comfortable despite that.

There are hard working people at this facility but the managment need to pull it together. But i believe that the problem is higher up than that. For starters there was no hot water almost the entire stay and for two days no water at all. After a hot sunny day at the beach, no shower. Forget about water pressure. Just enough to quickly wash your body. Impossible to wash a long hair. The food was ok but very limited options and nothing 24 hour. Only Breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you miss lunch there’s no food or snacks until dinner. All inclusive hotels I stayed was always food 24 hours.
The place felt under staffed and employees over worked. We had to be moved to another room because of a toilet leaking from the 4th floor and dripping into our bathroom. Wifi was spotty at best. Only works on lobby and very poorly.
The beach is gorgeous but i wish there were more activities/entertainment. Only once a week they do entertainment at night.
Music at the pool very loud during the day.
No shops around.
But as I stated before there are hard working people here and this place could be great if a few changes were made.
