"Tried to cancel the trip after the hurricane and hotel originally said they would and then changed their mind . We came expecting it to be damaged and lower standards and for a $10,000 holiday I wasn’t impressed.
Hotel smells horrendously of mold and our rooms were so full of mold we got chest infections. Confirmed by my doctor when I got home. Could see mold in the air con vents (photos taken).
Hotel grounds themselves (like garden beds etc, not well kept )
Staff were unfriendly . Asking the bartender at the pool bar for a bob Marley and she rolled her eyes . I asked if there was a drink she would prefer I order instead as the first drink is layered and she told me the name of another drink that was easier to make . And no she wasn’t swamped at the time and yes I tipped well every time.
I will never ever visit again. I go to the Joia in Mexico quite often and it’s way nicer, it doesn’t even compare . I couldn’t wait to go home .
Food was mediocre . We expected that post hurricane . I really wish we would have been able to cancel considering. And now it’s closing for 6 months … clearly because it needs work .
Terrible vacation . What a disapppintment .
Save yourself and go to the joia in Mexico , you won’t be disappointed ."
