Review of Yemaya Island Hideaway and Spa

This place has so much potential, but it's wasted by poor management and operations. The rooms are beautiful and the location is amazing with a nice beach and the best snorkeling on the island. So I'd recommend staying here, but don't bother eating here. The food is four times the price of great local places like El Bosque, and the reservation method doesn't suit the low occupancy of the hotel right now, with restricted hours and limited offerings. Once tourism picks up again I hope things improve here.
Eat next door at Fish Fry to save a few bucks and get better food in larger portions, or walk into town for some great local cuisine. The staff are nice and usually helpful, but all this place is good for is a comfy bed, hot showers and nice views.
