A beautiful hotel in the Caribbean.

A beautiful hotel in the Caribbean.

We were there at the end of September, beginning of August 2018, shortly before there was a hurricane that you hadn't noticed anything, except for the carpets of algae which you could watch on approach.

The hotel is about 20 minutes from the airport, but you cannot hear or see the planes.

A beautiful garden, which is permanently maintained, makes the way to the room a pleasure.
We had a "preferred club" room (larger, with a jacuzzi on the balcony or terrace, the minibar was completely refilled every day). The room was cleaned every day and when you were eating in the evening again tidied up and made up.
In addition to the better room, the "preferred club" also offers two additional pools (a quieter pool for sun worshipers and a pool with hammocks over the water), as well as an exclusive stretch of beach with better loungers. Drinks are served on the beach and pool.
We never went to the main pool to swim, as the "preferred pools" are simply a dream.
At first I was skeptical about the cocktails, as the famous slushy ice machines were in the bars. However, I was immediately convinced by the first cocktail, they taste just super natural and very fresh. If you like cocktails made from fresh pineapple, you should ask the men and women at the bar when they will be offered at the main pool and then grab one.
The beach is a beautiful white sandy beach, the algae that were washed ashore were also regularly removed with the help of a tractor, this didn't bother me at all when it was driving along the beach section (rather than having to fight your way through mountains of algae to the sea).
On the beach itself there are some local sellers with various goods. However, here it is not like e.g. in Turkey where this can be very intrusive. A simple "no thank you" and you have a nice day and move on.

About the food you can only say there is something for everyone.

At breakfast on the first morning we tried the "preferred only" restaurant Castaway, which has a buffet and fresh omlet. The restaurant is right on the beach and you have a view of the sea. We liked it so much that we had breakfast there every morning, so I can't comment on the main breakfast.

My final opinion on this hotel:

-Super friendly staff
- beautiful facility
- great rooms
-preferred club is worth every penny
Anytime again in this hotel!

Dream vacation guaranteed!
