    A Gem in the Chaos

    The beachfront bar offered spectacular sunset views, making each evening magical. The activities led by the entertainment team kept us engaged and active throughout our stay.

    Finding a quiet moment was tough, especially with some staff appearing overwhelmed and uninterested, which detracted from the experience we hoped for.

    room cleanliness
    service experience

    The location stands out, offering easy beach access and a vibrant atmosphere. Enjoyed the freshly made sandwiches at the beach bar, providing a satisfying snack between activities. However, the staff attitude varied significantly. while some were friendly, others appeared overwhelmed, impacting the overall service experience. Room cleanliness seemed to fall short during my stay, which was disappointing. Despite these issues, the entertainment team and watersports activities added a fun element to our week.

    beachfront location
    delicious seafood

    Couples looking for relaxation

    The location was incredible, right by the beach! We loved the dinner at Barefoot. the seafood was to die for!

    It wasn’t exactly a bargain, but I guess for what you get, it’s acceptable.

    caribbean beachfront village
    island routes tours
    fragrant flowers
    room cleanliness

    We had an amazing group vacation! The Caribbean beachfront village was beautiful, perfect for both relaxation and adventure. We tried Island Routes for exhilarating tours and spent our evenings enjoying activities surrounded by fragrant flowers and cool breezes. Perfect spot for bonding and creating memories with friends.

    We faced issues with room cleanliness during our stay, which was disappointing and affected our overall comfort.

    beachfront village
    evening activities
    fragrant flowers
    lounge shortage

    The Caribbean beachfront village offers a captivating setting for relaxation, surrounded by fragrant flowers and cool breezes. Evening activities provide a fun atmosphere for bonding with fellow guests, creating memorable experiences.

    Not enough sun loungers around the main pool, leading to towel wars as early as 6:30 AM. Many loungers remained vacant during breakfast, leaving those arriving later with limited options for the whole morning, making it a bit frustrating at times. The average age of guests tends to skew older, which led to quieter music and a somewhat subdued vibe, not catering to those seeking a lively party atmosphere.

    gorgeous swimming pool
    relaxing massages
    beach access
    too hot sauna

    We took advantage of the gorgeous swimming pool and had super relaxing massages at the spa, they were just what we needed. The beach access was a dream, and despite a few minor hiccups with the sauna being a bit too hot, everything else was wonderful. Pro tip, make sure to check out the sunset from the beachfront, it's worth it! 🌅
