Rooms were beautiful, especially the Creek View Junior Suite. Every staff member went out of their way to offer any assistance they could. Had dinner twice in the CuiScene buffet. Perfect for the grandkids (15 months and 4.5 years).

Staff were amazing.
Opportunities for improvement:
- Hire more staff during busy periods as there were lack of staff at cuisine restaurant.
-Improve the breakfast selection.
- Don’t overcook the Lobster and meats during New Year Eve Gala.

Outstanding service and exceptional staff
Despite experiencing some inconveniences during our stay, what truly stood out was the outstanding professionalism, kindness, and commitment of the entire staff. Every issue was handled with genuine care, efficiency, and a clear willingness to help, always making us feel heard and supported.
The team went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, showing a level of service that reflects true hospitality. Situations can happen anywhere, but the way the staff responds makes all the difference — and in this case, they did an excellent job.
Special thanks to the management and all team members for their dedication and customer-oriented approach. This level of service makes us confident in returning and recommending the hotel without hesitation.

The room was spotless. But its dated. We would like to have had more hooks to hang clothes for steam ironing. The staff in all areas were courteous and warm. Solved issues without delay. The beach and the pool area are lovely, but again some of the beach chairs and umbrellas are showing wear and tear. Food at breakfast was excellent and a great variety of choices.
