Not Airport Friendly
Some guests mentioned that this hotel is too far from the airport (approximately a 40-minute drive according to some visitors). So if you're looking for something that's near the airport, some guests say you might want to continue your hotel search. Of course, for some travellers this isn't an issue (and it's even a benefit).
negative:
Restaurant Criticisms
Some visitors remarked that they felt the food was overpriced. Others commented that they wished the restaurant was open for 24 hours, rather than providing limited service. For the most part, visitors often ate off-site at the nearby restaurants. However, those that did try the foods said that it was rather tasty.
negative:
Rooms Can Seem Musty
The majority of people had no issues when it came to room odours. However, a few people said that the rooms smelled and felt musty. It's worth remembering that this is a Caribbean hotel where it gets humid sometimes.
