The 3 day stay was good. It was as a New Years Eve trip. The room was ok I did not consider the room a premium ocean view as most of the view was the roof. We were not able to check in until 430pm because the room was not clean. The next day we were out most of the day we come back to the room at 230 our room had not been cleaned. Some staff were friendly some not so much. I expected the hotel to have some kind of entertainment for the New Year there was none and not much to do after 6pm. We went to another resort for New Years Eve. Overall stay was ok nothing special.

We reserved on shorter notice and the hotel was what we were hoping for when we booked. A clean, big enough room with an ocean view, a pool, a fabulous private beach, and enough food options in combination with the next door Margaritaville resort to provide food options on site. The staff were very friendly. It was a great experience staying there.

The room attendants were amazing,very attentive and on top of things. However selling day passes to all the people on the ships takes all the chairs, day beds, towels and service away from the actual guests staying at the resort. It was almost impossible to get a spot at the pool or beach . The $49 dollar a day resort fee added at the very end was also quite a surprise and not a happy one.

Although the staff members are kind and attentive and very polite, We had several issues and to compensate us they only reimbursed us for One day of resort charge instead of three days as we requested. Three days in a row we had to ask for fresh towels for our room, two days in a row we could not find any towels at the pool, at breakfast they never told us there was an omelette station but instead quickly brought us a check! :(. We could Never reach concierge, no one ever picked up at this hotel! Though room and location is convenient for the price that we paid over Holidays we certainly were left disappointed. Again the staff members were kind but service was not up to par :(

The hotel is beautiful and in a good location. Beach is nice and pool nice as well. Room was average but good, very clean. The thing that bother us was the service, specially at the bars and restaurants. Food took forever to be ready, it was hard to get a hold on staff, like we had to beg for a drink or a meal - that was actually not cheap by the way. Positive topics: unlimited availability of towels by the pool and beach, good structure, great view at the beach and very calm water, a lot of options around and always a taxi available by the hotel lobby.
