nice room but 2 days without hot water
8 / 10Excellent·Feb 2026
Staff is amazing. Hands down. But the room smellt really musky, turned out the filter was mouldy, room smelt like air freshener for 2 days, then it went back to musky (our clothes smelt like our room by the end).. beer is the best at the sportsbar, everywhere else its a little water down. Again, staff amazing. I always had enough water and snacks in my room. Was very well treated. Restaurants - buffet is good, and the italian and the steak house, everything else very mediocre. The music is insanely loud at the pool and the beach, all morning and afternoon, definitely not the place to take my elderly mom, but would've been a better vibe with my boyfriend (in our 30s). Over all, I'd give it a 10/10 given the price, but I've traveled to turks and caicos and other islands at 5 star hotels and this wouldn't come close to it. And next time with my mom specifically, I would book an adults only and maybe spend a little more. I would come back here with my boyfriend, though. Next door to us was a family with young kids and we could hear them through the night.. we talked to them and it helped a bit. But hey, sunshine, unlimited drinks, and a huge variety of food, it was a great get away.
6 / 10Average·Feb 2026
Pros:
•Resort was beautiful and quiet compared to the other onsite resorts.
•Bar staff were excellent, “Yalla” was the best at the pool bar.
•Room service was fast for food and courteous when they arrived at my room.
•Cart drivers were very nice too.
•Buffets were tasty and the breakfast buffet manager always asked if the resort could do anything to improve my stay.
Cons:
•Never enough chairs at the pool or beach.
•Pool was very cold
•Beef meat cuts were unsatisfactory, even at the a la carte restaurants.
•Gift shop sunglasses were $49 USD for stuff you can buy at a dollar store back home.
•Oneida Dinner show was the worst part of my experience. The price was acceptable but the food was 0/10. I couldn’t eat anything there. It was pre-cooked, burnt, dry and looked like vomit. The Circus performers were entertaining and talented.
Overall, I had a great time and would 100% go back. I just hope they address these issues
