While there were some positive aspects, there were also several issues that impacted my overall experience.
The room we selected was advertised as a two-bedroom, two-bathroom accommodation; however, it only had one bathroom, which was disappointing and misleading. Housekeeping was another challenge—cleaning was consistently scheduled between 8:00 and 9:00 AM, which coincided with the time we were getting ready for the day. If we were in the room during that time, the staff did not return later, resulting in missed cleanings.
Additionally, on the second day of our stay, we unfortunately found a cockroach in the room, which raised concerns about cleanliness. The bathroom itself also needs improvement: the toilet was not functioning properly most of the time, and the shower space was quite small and uncomfortable.
On a positive note, the staff were consistently helpful and kind, which we appreciated.
Overall, while the service from staff was commendable, the inaccuracies in the room listing, housekeeping schedule, and maintenance issues need to be addressed to improve the guest experience.

Property as well appointed and pools are kept clean. The staff is very friendly. The breakfast is simple but wholesome. The only problem I had was a very very moldy smell in the room I stayed in. This may even be in the walls and it is not a good feeling the walk-in, took her room and have to open all the windows and doors to get fresh air in. I would not stay here again.

IT WAS TERRIBLE. The pool was dirty one of the staff dumped an unhuman amount of chloride into the pool and there was some dirt on the bottom of the pool.

The staff was rude they assumed we didn't pay for the food even tho they were the one who gave us the receipt.

U have to wait for the staff to notice u and even then they take their time to help.

I picked this property because it was advertised as a wellness resort.The property is beautiful but that’s it. I arrived at the check in desk around 4:30pm and there was only one person there to service about 12 people. So it took me about 45 mins to be serviced.The pool was very very loud and over crowded. I later learned people not staying at the hotel came to use the pool. I was given a room by the said pool and it was not peaceful at all. The room smelled bad. I was greeted by several mosquitos and I attempted to use to microwave but it sounded like it would explode. All in all don’t stay here is you’re looking for a peaceful and comfortable stay.

Beautiful poolside and accommodating staff. Card machine was not working so all payment had to be in cash which was unexpected! Would have been good if they had informed guests prior to arrival. Rooms were clean, comfortable and well-equipped. Almost all staff did not have masks on which was a bit contradictory to the large sign at the entrance which mandated their use. Overall pleasant stay apart from the minor inconveniences above.

Not a spa/wellness hotel as described.

Disappointed from the moment I walked in. No concierge to help with luggage and I had one heavy luggage I needed help with. So many things wrong with room. My phone was not working. Although was later fixed. The wardrobe in the room is just too small for two people so we left our stuff in our suitcases for the 10 day duration. Shower door would not shut properly so having a shower was a chore. I complained but gave up as I felt I had a lot to complain about. Room had a bad/stale smell. Also, the room is always left open whilst being cleaned so we always had mosquitoes to deal with.

No sauna, steam room or jacuzzi in a wellness hotel. I guess I should have checked the available amenities properly before booking.

Breakfast was disappointing. Food on the hot plate always cold and not a good variety. I must say though that staff at breakfast were very good and friendly.

The pool area is fab with the waterfalls and we had fun playing in the pool. A bit disappointed that there was a day I sat by the pool area and not one waiter/host came to ask me if I wanted a drink. Surely this should be a no brainier.

Mauvais rapport qualité prix

L’établissement est excentré des animations nocturnes, commerces, bars, restaurants… Il n’y a pas de restaurants ou activités aux alentours, ni dedans. On était condamné à aller un peu plus loin pour déjeuner ou dîner ou alors on devait manger au snack de l’hôtel qui est un peu cher pour ce que c’est et surtout ce n’est pas très ragoûtant. De plus le chef de salle de ce snack ou responsable est extrêmement désagréable… Il faut savoir que l’établissement n’a que sa piscine de sympathique à proposer, mais malheureusement elle n’est pas réservée qu’aux clients de l’hôtel, et ce n’est pas très agréable du fait de l’énorme affluence autour jusqu’à 22h. La salle de sport n’est qu’un bungalow (conteneur) au fond d’une coure qui reste fermé…Tout ce que vous devez payer par CB est taxé de 5% en plus des taxes btw et des frais de services. De plus une caution de 100€ en espèces est demandée contrairement à d’autres établissements… Il faut prévoir 50€ quand même pour le spa. Au niveau des chambres le réglage de l’eau est aléatoire entre très chaud et très froid, impossible d’obtenir une bonne température en revanche les lits sont confortables, l’agent d’accueil est un jeune homme très agréable et le petit déjeuner est bien.

Choisissez un autre hôtel !

Que de déception dans cet hôtel :

- Piscine de l'hôtel bondée de monde venant de l'extérieur la journée, le Jacana fait piscine municipale pour la ville et l'eau est très trouble montrant un manque de propreté. Matelas des transats de piscine terriblement sales, c'est dégueulasse ! Les parasols idem ! Notre chambre donnait sur la piscine et c'était très bruyant a cause de la population locale qui s'installait dès le matin sur les transat et les tables de terrasse, beaucoup de musique très forte et des cris, des odeurs de cigarette et d'alcool à même notre balcon. Nous avons été très très gênés par ce fort brouhaha constant. Et lorsque que nous avons téléphoné à la réception un soir vers minuit quand nous n'en pouvions plus du bruit, la réaction de la réceptionniste nous a laissé sans voix : elle a soufflé fort dans le téléphone et ne disait plus rien. Nous la dérangions en fait. Ce n'est pas du tout professionnel. Hôtel à fuir de toute urgence !

- Une attente absolument interminable au restaurants, a aucun moment de la semaine nous avons mangé nos 4 plats ensemble au même moment. Une attente de plus d'une heure à chaque fois pour une salade verte ou des pâtes ! Honteux. Même un soir, ma famille avait terminé de manger et je n'était toujours pas servie, nous n'en pouvions plus d'attendre. Souvent il y a eu des oublis de nous donner des couverts, au petit-déjeuner comme au déjeuner et dîner.

Et j'ai encore plein de choses à dire mais il n'y a plus de place !!!

Vergane glorie. Kamers niet goed onderhouden. Badkamer tegels met schimmel en meubels die ruiken alsof ze nat zijn geworden ooit en nooit goed gedroogd zijn. Het is een parel in het midden van Paramaribo. Als je een klacht hebt, post het maar naar de hemel want er wordt niets meegedaan en je ziet nooit een manager. Ik besloot deze plek na 1 jaar weer een kans te geven omdat ik eerder geen goede ervaring had. Ik hoopte dat het verbeterd was, maar helaas, gewoon slechte communicatie en niet duidelijk wie het voor het zeggen heeft.
Ik vroeg om room service op de dag van uitchecken…. Alvast heb ik heel lang gewacht op mijn breakfast en werd ik door de lobby gebeld dat ik eruit moest. Ik gaf aan dat ik wachtte op mijn ontbijt. Ik kreeg als antwoord dat ik ook naar boven kon om te ontbijten……. Mijn antwoord was: ik wil in alle rust ontbijten, daarom bestaat er toch room service ????? Bij mijn vorig verblijf had ik ook een klacht en vroeg naar de manager en heb nooit iemand te spreken gekregen. Geen excuses geen niks.
Het is een mooie plek, maar door slecht management wordt alles teniet gedaan!
