Positive Reviews
positive:
Great beach and pools
Guests found the private beach with umbrellas, lounge chairs and a café to be a wonderful way to spend the day, but the hotel's four pools were also highly rated. Children can splash in their own pool, whereas adults can choose between an indoor heated pool, an outdoor lagoon one and a hot tub. Guests agreed that all areas were well maintained and provided just as much relaxation as a visit to the nearby beach.
positive:
Wonderful location with a gorgeous view
The hotel is nicely situation on top of a cliff, with absolutely stunning views of the Golden Bay's sandy beach and beautiful ocean. During the summer months, however, the beach can get quite crowded, which is why guests recommend embarking on the 10-minute walk to the hotel's private beach instead if you want a more peaceful experience.
positive:
Awesome amenities
The hotel boasts several fantastic amenities on top of its four pools such as a spa, a gym and a tennis court.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Understaffed
Some guests felt that the hotel was lacking in staff, which led to long wait lines at the bars and restaurants, issues with housekeeping and the front-desk staff not being able to answer phones.
negative:
Lots of focus on timeshares
Several guests criticized the timeshare aspect of the hotel, since there were specific members-only amenities such as a pool or lounge area. Moreover, some reported that there seemed to be an aggressive approach to trying to sell timeshares, with sales staff constantly around to approach guests.
negative:
Spotty Wi-Fi
While Wi-Fi is available throughout the entire hotel, some guests noted that they were unable to get a reliable signal in their rooms at times.
