Suspicious staff providing inconsistent information
Cons:

The staff provided conflicting information on several occasions. Initially, I was told that I could pay for breakfast at check-out. However, as soon as I got up from the table, a staff member approached me in a very suspicious manner to collect the payment, seemingly assuming that I was not going to pay. Even after I explained that I would settle the bill at check-out, as previously agreed, she insisted that I pay immediately.

On another occasion, I requested dinner through room service, which had been offered to me during check-in (there is even a menu shared via WhatsApp). I had also seen other guests ordering room service. However, when I made my request, I was told that I could only order at the restaurant.

Given how frequently these incidents occurred, I was left with the impression that this treatment was personal and directed specifically at me, which made me feel extremely uncomfortable.

Comfortable, clean, excellent breakfast and service.
Pros:

Comfortable accommodation, excellent breakfast buffet, delicious strawberry daiquiri, fantastic service.

Cons:

The dinners were a bit hit and miss. Salad was good. Otherwise the flavours were nothing special. Suggest they review their recipes and do some tastings….

Pros:

Breakfast was average. More attention could be spent on food quality and presentation. During winter the option of a hot porridge would be a great touch.

Cons:

The facilities required freshening up. Some of it is outdated and the mattresses are particularly hard.
My room door was obviously tampered with previously, but there has been no evidence of maintenance fixing/ repairing the damage - kind of leaves one feeling insecure.
