Ein sehr schönes, exzellent gepflegtes Anwesen direkt am Karibikstrand. Die schönen Häuser passen sich perfekt in das Landschaftsbild ein. Das Personal ist stets freundlich und hilfsbereit. Einzig: Die Weddingplanerin verdient ihren Namen nicht.

5 out of 5
wir waren als Familie in diesem wunderschönen Hotel für 2 Wochen. Es hat uns sehr gefallen. Wir hatten das Jungel-Familienzimmer, das wir aber nicht mehr buchen würden. Leider ist es sehr dunkel+feucht. Daher wurden wir auch von Mücken zerfressen. Die Klimaanlage war relativ laut,daher konnten wir sie nachts nicht benützen.Vor der Heimreise konnten wir dann in einem Gartenzimmer duschen, dieses war perfekt! Das Abendessen war hervorragend und wurde meistens a la carte serviert,2x die Woche als Buffet. Das Morgenbuffet hatte alles was das Herz begehrt. Der Strand direkt vor dem Hotel ist sehr sauber+wurde täglich gereinigt. Dieser ist zur Hälfte auch öffentlicher Strand . 5 Gehmin. vom Hotel ist die 5.Avenue mit Restaurants+Läden, hier geht die Post ab. Trotz aufdringlichen Ladenbesitzer haben wir uns jederzeit wohl+sicher gefühlt. 8-tung aufgepasst: die Preise müssen immer verhandelt werden!! nur ein Bsp: 1 Flasche Tequila, Anfangspreis 135 Dollar, danach erhältlich für 10 Dollar:-) Insgesamt ist das Hotel sehr zu empfehlen!
