Review of Magdalena Grand Beach & Golf R...

I honestly can t believe all the glowing reviews. And that sucks because we booked this hotel after reading the reviews. Here s the truth...if you travel a lot like me and like nice hotels like me you won t like this one. This advertises at $250-$350/nt depending on when you go but it s worth no more than $150/nt. Shout out to Marc head of food and bev as well as Ferrin and Mekesha for trying to make the stay a good one. But tough to overcome bugs in the room, ok a/c, terrible wifi, even worse food that is super expensive, uncomfortable beds, generally run down property/amenities, and poor fitness center. The good? Location is near the airport and ferry, great oceanside views and pool although be warned you cannot use the beach here unless you want to be taken into the sea by the rough currents, walking/running around the golf property is nice. All in all though no chance we d stay there again knowing what we know now. Hopefully this review helps you because for us we found all the 4 and 5 star reviews to be inaccurate or at least not aligned to what we think is a 4/5 star property. Quick example. We goto one of the restaurants on the Property at 3pm and it officially closes at 4. We wait forever to be seated then wait forever for someone to come over. People are passing by us left and right but no one stops by. I then get up and ask is someone coming over??? They send someone who proceeds to tell me we can t have anything to eat because the the chef is tired . True story guys. Never had that happen before in my life anywhere and I ve been a few places. The place is not a quality spot. Stay at a bed a breakfast not here.
