This is the last night of our honeymoon trip and the best words to describe our visit is “aggressively mediocre”. For a 5-star resort with a such a good reputation you would think the service staff would be trying to maintain it, not destroy it. Whenever we made a request we were met with discontent and were made to feel like an inconvenience. One night there was a gas shortage and restaurants were turning people away (including us) because they couldn’t keep up with demand and we went to the front desk to ask what we should do to eat and they a) had no idea anything was even happening and b) suggested we go to another restaurant that was also facing the same struggles. Basically we got no help. We would call housekeeping to get our fridge restocked and no one would come. The food at the restaurants are mediocre at best. My husband is a big meat eater and there were cuts of steak he had that he could barely get through with the steak knife. Lastly the pool/beach chairs…. I swear there are not enough for everyone at the resort. They are literally all gone by 8am. We have gone to numerous adult only resorts and never had such a problem finding somewhere to sit at all! I think the only things we enjoyed were the diving, the location and the weather. Really disappointing as you only get 1 honeymoon and we spent a small fortune on ours.

My husband & I were there for my sister’s wedding on the premises. The property is absolutely beautiful. The room was more than spacious, with a gorgeous view. The food was phenomenal. The service was utterly amazing. The staff took the time to talk to us & then remember the conversation the next time we saw them. They ALL really took the time to invest in their guests. Accommodated every single request we had without question.
