The staff at the front desk didn’t have any common courtesy. The elevators was under maintenance I wasn’t aware at the time, I tired contacting front desk for over an hour without even getting an answer. I then called the sister hotel Magaritaville, I got in contact with a staff at the front desk there, to inform them what was going on, and had asked the staff to please contact security or front desk at the hotel where I was staying. The communication is poor at the hotel.

We enjoyed the private beach and the outdoor areas. Room and inside of hotel was nice but could have been cleaner. Bathrooms by the pool were not attended to for the days we were there as there was no soap the entire time in one of them. All that was ok to deal with but our biggest complaint was the food in a couple of the restaurants within the hotel. Sakura (ramen and sushi restaurant) served us ramen which was way overcooked with what tasted like imitation lobster, dry pork belly, and no spice to the “spicy lobster ramen.” Accompanied with a server who was clearly annoyed with serving us, this dinner was not a good experience but we chalked it up and moved on. Then our last night we ate at the Mahogany Club. This restaurant seemed to offer more high end meals and service than the tavern or Sakura. We were sorely mistaken. From the time we sat down the service was awkward. 2 different people kept switching back and forth waiting on us so many times we had to repeat what we wanted to 2 different people. We were interrupted and pressured to order before we even got our drinks and then when we did get our drinks delivered, a whole glass of wine was spilled on my partners shirt and lap. And they tried to charge us for that glass of wine….I asked what seafood was in the seafood spaghetti. I was told clams, mussels, and conch. When it came out it had calamari, shrimp, and mussels. When asked the waiter replied they must have subbed ingredients if they were out of some.

Very few restaurant options (not fast food) that are open after 5pm in downtown. They seem to close after cruise ship passengers get called back to ship at 4.30pm. Hotel has 2 restaurants, but must like that type of food offered.

Loved this hotel. Absolutely gorgeous. Staff was incredible. This was my second time staying there, and the second time only 1 elecator was working. The restaurants are great, but way overpriced. $45 for breakfast is just absurd. Fortunately there is a McDonalds across the street so Egg McMuffins for everyone. All said, no place is perfect. Overall I love this place and will stay there again.

Great property, excellent staff. Room is good, but shower stall is too small, with an odd glass door that’s doesn’t allow access to shower fixtures. Feels claustrophobic. Overall is great for a short stay
