Terrific experience at this Resort

Lovely resort. Booked because of swim up bar and it’s terrific!! We arrived a day late and I thought our rooms should have been ready but we had to wait until 5:30. When I went to Service Desk they gave room keys to my other two friends that’s the only negative I can say about our experience here
My second visit

Was wonderful. Staff morale is great, nice to see familiar faces in more senior roles. Some even remembered me from last year - especially Rachel in the lobby bar who recognised me before I even got my room. I was in Allegance this year, 41xx block, and my housekeeper was excellent. Room was always clean and replenished by the time I returned from the beach. Plenty of water, Crystal beer and real toilet paper. Allegance upgrade is definitely worth it. A noticeable upgrade compared to basic rooms and access to good whiskey was much appreciated. Smiles and respect will get you a long way with the staff. The guy running the snack bar overnight, whose name escapes me, was especially great once he knew us. One night a companion drank the last glass of sparkling wine and twenty minutes later he drops off an entire bottle, still chilled, for our table. He has a great sense of humour too. Even the food during his shifts was noticeably better and prepared with pride. Gym is clean and cooled. I avoid the pool in favour of the beach which was not as nice as last year. Given the fuel shortage it's obvious the tractor doesn't come by to rake away the seaweed and some areas weren't tended to manually. This is a government responsibility as I understand, not a reflection on the hotel. Overall this year was even better than last. Much more social crowd, more organized staff and management, any maintenance issues I observed were handled swiftly and if a fix wasn't possible a new room was offered as soon as available. Some reviewers will certainly have legitimate negatives but this was not MY experience at all and I will definitely be back again next year!
