10/10 Excellent
"This was an overall marvelous hotel that excelled in all expected areas. The hotel offered free round-trip airport shuttle, a free sunset cruise, and transportation to the beach. The team was friendly, attentive, and provided a high level of personalized service. The staff responded expeditiously to any request. We received two free welcome drinks at the bar. The room included drinks and snacks that were filled once at the commencement of our stay. The breakfast was cooked to order and every item on the menu was delicious. The pool area is absolutely divine. Con: There is a small gym that requires scheduling. We suggest avoiding the Mezzanine level which may not be as quiet. My experience at this property was excellent and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a classy, upscale hotel stay."
