There was nothing about this property that I like, this is not a hotel, I would rather not say what kind of place this is. I booked this property to stay for four nights, I stayed one night and checked out the morning. I think Expedia should take this place of their site, to keep their customers, OVERALL VERY DIRTY, NOT A HOTEL

I booked the hotel for colleagues.. Upon passing by the hotel in route to somewhere else, prior to check in time, we could not believe the hotel was even open. The property was extremely unclean, piles of trash, abandoned vehicles etc. I could not let our guests stay there. WE NEVER CHECKED IN.

I do not recommend staying at this hotel until they clean up the property.

The rooms very uncomfortable, the bathrooms discussing, roaches in the bathroom and sink and toilet terrible, we stay because if we call you guys won’t do anything to fix it or look us for another hotel and if we didn’t stay will be losing my money due to a difficulty of the believes , we just went strait to sleep and use our t-shirts to be able to put our heads on the pillows. . They don’t even check us in or out because the internet issues, so I don’t know how the made business, how they new we have a reservation with out even asking our names, sorry I didn’t respond before because I was very upset with the issue. Thank you

I really enjoyed my stay. I have read the other reviews which say odd things given that this is a hotel in a tropical region which just had a hurricane. The hotel was exactly what you would expect for a relaxed tropical experience. If you are looking for a resort that is antiseptic without any of the local flair then go there. This hotel was very safe, and they constantly checked to see if I was happy and if I needed anything at all. With the wifi being down on most of the island they had a backup wifi for anyone who needed it. I will absolutely stay here again. This was exactly the vibe I was looking for and the views were spectacular, the AC strong, the beds comfortable, the staff kind and welcoming, the sounds of the nature better than any white noise to put you to sleep. Ignore the reviews that were clearly looking for something other than a local hotel in the tropics. Walk 5 minutes to the street just above the hotel and have a delicious dinner at peppas with ocean views.

There was ocean view from the balcony. The touch lighted mirror is cute. Some rooms still have dilapidated furniture not suitable to sleep on or use. Toilet paper and hand sanitizer was given upon request and not before. Linen was dingy white with stains. It was hard to tell if towels were clean or just very old and dingy.Bathroom floor needs renovation.

My best

Let's start with the greeting. Don't want to mention that the airlines lost my luggage but it is what it is. Chris and Face helped me to obtain clothes and toiletries due to the fact i had nothing. They made me feel safe and comfortable. The rating chart is too low if i could i wold give them 10 stars. This nice quiet family owned resort is kind and compassionate
They make you feel like you're apart of their family. Thabk you for you kindness.

Terrible stay away!!!!!

I did not stay longer than 10min. I got sick from the strong chemicals used to cover dust, wetness and moldy smell. I was symptomatic after 5min. I visited 2 rooms and none was accommodating. I ask for a refund immediately as advertisement is misleading and inaccurate but both hotlel.com and big apple denied me a refund. Terrible service on big sides. Also they said I request honeymoon sweet and that was inaccurate.

Big Apple is Bad news
Dirty,Mosquitoes eat you alive
No WiFi they will lie about the WiFi
NO FOOD, I mean no food at all.
Totally rundown, no glass in the window to my room.
Toilet does not work, no water in the face basin
Dangerously exposed electrical cables
Broken smoke alarm
No shower head on shower
Lots of mess in the pool
They promised free shuttle to the airport but the driver will still charge you $3000 when dropped off although the fair is $2000 on chartered taxi and $150 on route taxis.
You won’t see professionally looking staff just two men smoking mariwana.
SOMEONE TRIED TO ENTER MY ROOM AT 2AM THANKFULLY MY DOOR WAS LOCKED.
I didn’t sleep after that

This has been my worse experience ever and I have been traveling for at least 30 years all over the world. The hotel was dirty. We never received clean linen. The furniture was broken. The bathroom leaked and had broken tiles. There was no dining services, not even coffee. There was a party under our room for 8 hrs. It didnt stop until 4am, after police intervention. There was nothing to recommend it except for the exceptional view and central location.

There were so many problems, its difficult to know where to start. The entire property was filthy. Our rooms were never cleaned. We never recieved clean linen in the 6 days of our stay. I received two towels (stained) on day 1 and no other. Garbage was never removed. There are NO dining facilities. Not even coffee, tea or water. Pool was not clean. Bathroom had a leak on the floor that was never attended to. No one could answer any questions. Sunday apparently was party night. Loud Music until 4am. It was eventually turned off by the police. I did not sleep fot 5 days. I would never visit again.
