This establishment is billed as a resort, but it felt more like a hotel or motel. I think it would have met expectations if it didn't have "resort" in the name. Some examples: no porter to help with luggage, no carts, and our room was located several hundred yards from the lobby. The restaurant was understaffed and we had to wait 45 minutes at times for service. Room view was obstructed but there was no disclosure of this or chance to pay more for a room with a better view, for what I saw. When checking in, there was no secure place to leave our luggage while we waited for our room to be available; it sat in the lobby. The staff were fairly curt and not very friendly and welcoming. Room condition/cleanliness was fine and landscaping was fine.

Restaurant service very slow. Wanted a simple meal upon arrival and they would only allow us to order their specialized valentines meal. Beach too crowded while cruise ship people took over.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Honestly, the worst hotel we’ve ever stayed in- we had to leave and stay somewhere else. The amenities are atrocious, staff was rude, place is extremely outdated. The worst of it all was the lack of security. Locals just hanging out in the parking lot and around the property doing drugs and drinking. Came home from dinner with my wife and daughter and was followed. Stay far far away.

We do our homework & this hotel was as expected this not being our first Caribbean trip. Most of the staff met our expectations by being friendly & responsive. However allowing non-guest foot traffic to access the beach via the hotel property takes away from the experience. On other islands there are separate beach access paths between the hotels. This must make it impossible to keep the hotel walkways, stairs, & restaurant floor clean especially after runoff from heavy rain. Also I believe the beach chairs should be marked as "hotel guests only." the palapas spread farther apart & separated from the beach vendors selling cruise ship people chairs adjacent to the hotel.
