We booked our honeymoon here and were greeted by massive construction. The hotel did not see fit to notify guests in advance - we got an email a week before our departure, when it was clear that this construction had been happening for quite some time, and we had booked 3 months in advance. (It was a major overhaul - the lobby was completely closed off, as were all the restaurants - and would have been in the works for a long time, not just a spontaneous bit of repair.) The Hyatt down the road courteously notified its guests in advance - in fact, we booked at the Sheraton over the Hyatt in the first place because we were hoping to avoid the construction. It s not very relaxing to sit by the pool or on the beach with the sound of jackhammers in the background! I previously provided feedback to the hotel and received only a generic sorry about that email. This was clearly a deliberate attempt to mislead guests and to avoid missing out on bookings, and is a pretty shady business practice. Had we known how disruptive this would be, we definitely would have stayed elsewhere - and now, due to the way it was handled, I don t think I d go back.
