We had high hopes when we booked an 8-day stay here, excited to enjoy a relaxing vacation in what was advertised as a 5-star resort. Unfortunately, by the second day, we were already exploring options to change hotels. Regrettably, the hotel was unwilling to accommodate a cancellation, so we remained for the duration of our booking.
Despite the luxury label, the property fell well short of expectations, we would not rate it more than 3 stars based on the service and overall experience. The service throughout the hotel was extremely slow, often unhelpful, and occasionally bordered on rude. It gave the impression that guests were an inconvenience rather than welcome visitors. That said, we do want to acknowledge a few of the front desk staff who genuinely tried to assist us, their efforts did not go unnoticed and were appreciated.
Another concerning aspect was the lack of respect for guests’ privacy. Even with a “Do Not Disturb” sign on our our room, while our kids were napping, housekeeping insisted entering our room, disregard of our privacy, but they also spoke loudly enough to wake the kids.
We also had a very bad experience at the hotel restaurant. Even standard meals like breakfast and fries were consistently poorly prepared, greasy and unappetizing. As a result, we opted to dine off-property as much as possible, and were met with the warmth, care, and hospitality that truly reflect the spirit of TCI
To end on a positive note: we absolutely loved the island itself.
