First off, this is the best hotel in the country. Don't let anyone fool you with bogus reviews. Staying at other Hilton in the Caribbean we were skeptical (since Hilton in the Caribbean are generally trash) the staff: thanks to soudesh/rayoon/rajoo/vinesh/wenda/arnesh/sunil/kapeer/mevin/ Sean/as well as many others were so helpful. Totally made the trip. The food is decently priced, compared to the Weston, the food is at least 30% less expensive with 50 times the selection. The rooms were excellent, modern. They fans and AC. They also have backdoor keyed entrances which is great for exiting where you want. The BEACH. many people on trip advisor and others have asked or not been detailed. First off YES THE SNORKELING IS EXCELLENT. YES THE MAX DEPTH AT HIGH TIDE IS ABOUT 8 FEET. The water is crystal clear. Moral eels, snakes crabs, exotic conks all kinds of colorful fish, star fish. All water actives are free but bring your own water shoes(you don't want to use someone else's) the equipment is rented on 30 min intervals. SWIMMING (NOT WATCHING) with the dolphins. Do not listen to anyone who tells you that you have to take a taxi to then board a board south. There are vendors right there on the beach, very affordable, licensed, professional ( name of the boat and company is Ticou, ticou) they are the best. The buffet while overpriced was very tasty. The room service was always fresh and speedy. The breakfast buffet was great and had all the non breakfast items you could want. Rent a car or hire a taxi outside the gates of the hotel (just walk down). The massage, not the best but who cares. Each room has a safe and all amenities. Including all wall Jacks.
