Great value hotel with excellent staff and service, great location and good food. We loved it!
Pros:

You may be aware that this hotel has had some bad reviews, mixed in with some good ones (like this one).
If, like me, you have decided to book the hotel and managed to get it at a much cheaper rate than other similar all-inclusive hotels in the area I would urge you to go for it! We had a great 3 night stay at Senses and wish we could have stayed longer.
Our Ocean Front Suite was on the third floor with great views of the ocean, pool and neighbouring beach.
The room was MASSIVE (probably the largest hotel room we've ever stayed at). It had a kitchen area, dressing room/clothes storage, safe, iron, hairdryer, huge walk-in rainfall shower, spa bath/hot-tub, extra large bed with large Smart TV, sofa/seating area, big balcony with sun loungers and plunge pool (this pool was empty - we were told to request if we wanted it filled, but to be honest we wouldn't have used it anyway so we didn't care).
The check-in area is really impressive and the staff told us everything we needed to know. We were showed to our room and given some useful information about the hotel. We were delighted to see a chilled bottle of Spanish sparkiling wine and chocolates left in the room for our arrival - such a lovely touch!
The fridge was filled with mineral water, soft drinks and beers and was re-stocked daily.
The hotel has direct access to the beach, but doesn't have it's own private beach. It does have a large infinity pool though which is great, and also a Pool bar/restaurant with very attentive staff.
We booked a snorkelling trip at Dressel Divers (literally a 1 minute walk along the beach from the hotel). The snorkelling was good, not excellent, but we saw plenty of fish, a couple of turtles, some rays and eels so well worth the trip on the catamaran.
There's a lovely rooftop restaurant with great views for breakfast and dinner.
This is a small hotel (38 rooms?) so don't expect entertainment, parties, etc., just enjoy the ambience!

Cons:

As previous reviews mention, the hotel isn't exactly pristine. Our room had a couple of areas that could do with some TLC - eg. a fresh lick of paint here and there, a replacement bathroom mirror and a cupboard door was a bit loose! Nothing that spoiled our holiday though.

Pleasantly Surprised
Pros:

I had read several reviews of this resort before going. Some good some not so good which made me nervous. My husband and I have spent the last 10 days here. For the money it is unbelievable!!! I have never had a view like this and it is from every room. Our room was kept very clean! Food service and drinks were wonderful! The only reason I did not give them a 5 star review was because I had a couple breakfasts where I didn’t get exactly what I ordered and service was a little slow. Our hotel room was huge. The pool could use a little work but that was not a big deal. I hate to leave and would come back in a heartbeat!

Pros:

My housekeeper

Cons:

The location how it’s hard to drive to the resort and get out of the resort it didn’t have an ATM machine and the taxi drivers are very expensive to get to the nearest ATM machine. It says that you can relax nude on the resort but the guys act like they’ve never seen it done before. Everything is really slow there. It takes a long time to get anything done. There aren’t enough activities. It’s really mainly for couples who just want to sleep and have sex.

Enjoye the privacy and the water views, but be flexible with the facilities.
Pros:

This the second time staying here. We loved the quietness and limited guests on property. The location with a private beach access on the north is a plus too.

Cons:

The elevator was down 1/3 of the time. The cocktails were not consistent. Some were great but others too bad to drink.
We did not have hot water half of our stay. The plumbing needs attention. The sink was leaking as well as the shower head.
