    Awful

    Still here and I can’t wait to go home. From the second we got off the plane, to now, 3 days later, it has been awful. When we were waiting for our ride to the hotel from the airport, we overheard a belligerent airport worker screaming on the phone to someone. When we told a worker about it, he ignored us. We took my daughter as a grad gift and the entire time, bartenders laughed at her and asked “are you even old enough to be here?” Roaches in our room, plumbing bad, ignorant staff, food portions tiny, room service well over an hour wait, tiny beach, dirty pools. The first night here, we went to the Barefoot Grille and asked if they had burgers. The worker told us, “no.” We watched them making burgers. Then I asked “ok, pizza?” Again, he told me no. He then went on to say “ma’am, we have no food.” At this point, my daughter and husband walked away. The worker then says “I’m just kidding.” Just poor taste all around, and honestly, scummy. My husband and I have been to Mexico, Dominican, Barbados and Grenadines. We know excellent service. And this was NOT it. I wish we could get our money back and leave today in all honesty.

    No work all fun

    Excellent hospitality. We took our 18 yr old daughter for Spring break and we all had a great time. Perfect balance of quiet and fun. Food was good. Diving and snorkeling very good. Cabana #26 is the spot to be and LaTanya took great care of us! Wi-Fi was poor.
