The staff is TERRIBLE. They don't know what is all inclusive. It's to much to explain how terrible my experience was! I arrived at 9:30 PM because i was waiting 6 hours for ferry and I paid for all inclusive. They send me to a restaurant area where I supposed to pay, and they put me menu on the table to order. After that I asked why should I pay because I am all inclusive, and they told me that all inclusive it's closed, but in the same time to pay a la carte was open. After 30 minutes arguing about this ireal situation , the gave me and my group a miserable tuna burger. Remember this word: MISERABLE. I didn't eat and I was going outside of the "resort" paying for taxi, searching for a restaurant to finally eat something. I was back at 2:00AM. So I need 4 hours to eat, pay for my food for me and my group, pay for taxi and go to bed in this "all inclusive". Everything is made for pictures, especially the pool outside, to "look good" for selling. Inside is TERRIBLE. Alarms starting for no reasons couple times a day, everything are poor quality. If you are looking for all inclusive resort experience, AVOID THIS FAKE RESORT.

Quite a tired place with good need of some TLC, particularly in the rooms. Staff were generally friendly, but I was a bit put out when they repeatedly tried to charge me double for my airport transfer. The WiFi is not free, and you're better off buying a SIM card and using that as a hotspot. Similiarly, no bottled water is provided and must be paid for separately, or just bought from one of the shops outside the hotel entrance. Taxis out the front attempt to charge extortionate rates, but can be bargained down easily enough, but that's to be expected. Otherwise, the situation is nice (on the beach), and the pool area comfortable for sitting.

Good Stay and Local Contact
Nice area, lovely local people so warm and friendly. Hotel had good outdoor facilities but the room itself is in need of a refurb. Good basic facilities, comfy bed, no complaints about the room, however in the bathroom our shower curtain was in desperate need of replacing and would have made it feel much cleaner. If you're looking to stay, we'd recommend our local tour guide who helped us with hotel transfer and local trips at good prices. He's called Yaya and can be contacted on whatsapp - +2207602589.

Nice place for a sun vacation
Good: Clean and lately renewed room; very friendly staff; in overall you feel welcome there; Good food Needs improvements: extremely slow service; don't expect much about their rum cocktails (they should change the rum); Annoying local sellers and tour agents (however, in the hotel grounds they are not allowed); Room was cleaned well, but replacement towels, shampoo, toilet paper etc. you had to go and ask yourself (and several times from the several people); They lost my laundry and it took a day continuous asking before they found it again (as a compensation it was not charged).

Lovely sea view
Reception staff and porters were superb. The breakfast spread was splendid and staff were very friendly. Other restaurants were adequate - flamed grilled chicken at Barracuda restaurant was in fact a stew (appalling). Food and house keeping hygiene need improving. If a napkin falls on the floor staff should give guests a clean one instead of shaking it off and giving it back. Clean table runners for each new service is required not one that has been used. Appalled that our room was cleaned on day of checking out but sheets weren't even changed. Hope this was checked and changed before new guests arrival.
