After getting to our room, we noticed that one of the two beds was covered in ants. There was an opened candy wrapper beneath the bed covered In ants and there were ants visibly on the bed/sheets.

We were able to get a new room. But this kind of thing is really unacceptable, especially since we still paid full price.

Wonderful front desk staff. When we arrived they were providing an empanada and punch tasting which were lovely. Our room was humid and the air didn’t get as cool as we liked but it wasn’t bad enough to ask to switch rooms since we only stayed 1 night. You are walking distance from stores and restaurants. Great pre-cruise hotel!

We stayed there after a cruise and it was a nice place that was also close to the port. We were lucky enough to get an early check in, which was very much appreciated. The hotel needs a little renovation in a few areas but was very nice overall and the staff at the front desk were very helpful.

We arrived to our room and the floors were extremely sticky and dirty.
Called housekeeping they did come up, sprayed a little stuff on the floors and clean them a bit. They really should’ve changed our room. Outside of our room in the hallway there has been some sort of accident in the hallway smelt terrible. They were running fans to help dry it out, but the smell still lingered.

In the middle of the night, our air conditioner quit working. It was 77° in the morning very uncomfortable.

Working in the morning.

I would not recommend this resort because of these issues.

It was very close to the first port, and they did provide a breakfast

The rooms are definitely outdated. We had a small incident in the bathroom pretty late at night, I believe it was a bit past 11:30pm. We asked the front desk for assistance & they said they had no maintenance or housekeeping on site at that time and could not help. I was also expecting a view of the water but this is more so my fault for not checking at the time of booking that this hotel is not in fact by the water. Overall I give it a 5/10

Had such great ratings I was disappointed at the property… cracked bathroom sink, bathroom fan doesn’t work and is the steamiest most bathroom drenching shower head lol… only two bath towels for overnight two guests which means you have to use a wet towel in the morning if you washed the travel germs and sweat off before bed… just seems subpar for the money. The room decor was badly in need of updating it is really bad both “art” and furniture are outdated and the room needed paint and a refresh for sure. The location to the cruise port is the only thing it has going for it.

A guest across the hall from my room was banging on the door from 3:30 am until 5:00 am. We called the front desk and they were no help. They refused to stop the woman or have her removed. There was also a safety issue due to the fact that you could not access the floor without a key, yet this woman was able to access without a key. I had to change hotels and the property manager refused to refund my money.

Rooms and facilities were nice. Food was not as advertised. No espresso drinks because machine was, “out of order for the foreseeable future.” Had to tell them about my breakfast being included 2 days in a row. Menu makes food sound really good and worth the high prices and does not deliver. “Belgium waffles with whipped honey butter” tasted like stale dense pancake mix poured on a waffle maker and came with cold rock hard foil-wrapped butter packs. If I had to pay $25 bucks for that I would have been more bummed. Seems like they are having some issues. Still the room was nice and it was a convenient location for my work needs.

Reservations got messed up and we did not have them like we thought. We tried to fixt this at the front desk but they have this INSANE RULE that the Front Desk will not take a walk in reservation.

THEY ACTUALLY MADE ME GET OUT OF LINE AT THE FRONT DESK AND USE MY PHONE TO BOOK A ROOM INSTEAD OF TAKING MY RESERVATION AT THE DESK. No one was in line behind me but the hotel was almost hostile about helping me. We stayed the night before and we had boat trouble and had to stay another night.

It was so RUDE and inconsiderate that the front desk would not help us and made us stay in the lobby and book our room on our own.

I booked the 5 rooms then got back to the front desk and gave the clerk my resveration number and she helped me like that was normal.

I sware I thought I was in a Saturday Night live skit.

HORRIBLE SERVICE AND POLICY!!!

I will NEVER EVER stay at this hotel again.

Housekeeping needs attention

Hotel was mostly ok. Except quite understaffed. The room hadn’t been completely prepared. No soap at sink for hands. No hair dryer. Could have used another towel. With note, they did provide soap for sink the next day. Didn’t notice missing hair dryer until that second day so mentioned to front desk when checking out. Did have a friend in another room find a half eaten hamburger on shelf in bathroom. So clearly, attention to detail and cleaning checklist is desperately needed.

Very average given the price

System seemed to be down for the entire time we were there meaning that we couldn’t get an invoice on check out. One lift was broken and the other was off due to a power cut for over 3 hours on our last day. We were on the 7th floor with 2 young children and a pram with no way of getting to the ground floor other than carting everything down 7 flights (we had lots of luggage as we were going to a cruise). No help offered….
Rate included breakfast however they tried to charge $30 for a 6 year old. Booked room for 4 people…why isn’t breakfast included in the price for 4 people?
