We were at this resort in April 2024. The room shown here is what they consider the « renovated » room. We were not as lucky. Our furniture was not just older, it was broken, with drawers not closing. The beach is wonderful. We didn’t get the high tide quite like you did in the 12 days we were there but the water is top notch. The hotel personnel was incredible. What irritated us? Only 3 a la carte per week. The rest is buffet 3 meals a day. Foodies like us did not appreciate. First time we took a taxi to eat out at an all-inclusive… twice. Also, No cocktails at a la cartes. 3rd Stained plastic glasses even at night at the sports bar but the worse was that ALL toilet paper… ALL… cannot be flushed. You have to put in the garbage bin without lid. They inform you and insist right from the airport. The smell…. All and all, I would never return but the beach and the staff were the best we’ve ever had.
@@AkashPatel-lo7vg They had excursions that you could go on, both on land and water. Unfortunately we didn't do any excursions. You could try the kite surfing! It looked like a lot of fun. You could also take out kayaks/paddle boards etc.
When you make your videos you scroll through your phone very quickly and that makes people dizzy. You have to go slow and stop because you scroll through your videos very quickly and that makes people dizzy.
Hello, very nice work with lots of information on this video ! This resort has been on my radar for years, just a solo senior traveller here. Just a couple of questions. Why would "beach security" ask for your name & room # as you are going for a stroll off the resorts property line ? That's scary and would not tell them that info. Is it a set up to rob your room because your gone for a walk ?? Don't you have a resort wrist band to show them, that confirms that you belong there coming or going ? After all like beaches everywhere, they are public. Also how do your 3 a la carte reservation's work ? Can I book all 3 when I arrive, or only daily line ups to book or reservation free..... ? Also many factors such as variety of food, restaurants that are open, line ups for cocktails at bars day or night & customer service depends on capacity when you actually visit. Based on your stay in early Jan. this year, what would your guess be on the % capacity of the resort when you were there ?
Love my beautiful country 🇩🇴🇩🇴
We are going back for the third time. Have not seen the renovations since 2019. Super excited. We LOVE this resort. 🇨🇦🇨🇦
