Nice and Quiet Getaway
Pros:

The adult pool and pool areas were welcoming and relaxing. The morning breakfast was very good and dinners at the restaurants was excellent. The rooms were comfortable and clean and we enjoyed the fitness center. Great location on Eagle Beach, can walk up to the Palm Beach area. Overall a great stay.

Cons:

The drinks were pretty pricey at $22-$24 each. Also, if you are looking for a lot of action, this is not the place and the casino is not open yet.

Insuficiente servicio de playa para todos los huéspedes
Pros:

El edificio y las habitaciones son muy lindas

Cons:

La pileta estaba demasiado fria, ademas de que por como es la construcción del hotel, tiene viento todos los dias

Por otro lado, si bien el hotel tiene servicio de playa, es dificil encontrar lugar disponible: para tener lugar hace falta ir a las 8am y hacer una fila para conseguir reposeras y sombrillas. Lo opuesto si se busca exclusividad y relax. Existen opciones definitivamente mejores en la isla.

Won't return
Cons:

Insufficient beach infrastructure: could't get chairs as the hotel doesn't have enough for all guests

Pool is too cold, plus super windy every day

Pleasant. Staff and newness of resort made it nice but they must pay attention to issues.
Pros:

Modern clean. Room and bathroom very nice although room came with jacuzzi tub on the balcony which was weird. Bar and wait Staff excellent and very attentive. Restaurants were great. Pools excellent. Very beautiful lobby and common spaces as well.

Cons:

Pool furniture in disrepair, many broken, staff tried to fix, very apologetic but items were beyond repair. Beach across the road with very little or no amenities. No showers, bathrooms, few chairs, can’t enjoy beach.
Light bulb in room was out, room cleaned but not one towel replaced, called for towels twice and waited one hour for them. Called for bath tissues and waited another hour. After 10pm no staff at front desk. Had to yell into back room to get front desk service. At over $1000 per day we expected more.

Cons:

El servicio es lento, falta personal en las piscinas y sobre todo restaurantes. Los meseros llenan mal los tiquetes de consumo y si ud va con todo incluido, se lleva la sorpresa en el check out que le cobran cosas que no consumio. Es un robo y luego no tienes como reclamar. Es definitivamente un hotel donde nunca más volveré. Pésimo.
