My Honest Review: First and Last Time Here

Olya D (Flawil, Switzerland) on Nov 30, 2025

The hotel is big — the grounds are well maintained. Most of the guests are Canadians. The staff is very peculiar. At the bar, the bartenders are not friendly at all. They only smile at those who give them tips. If you order non-alcoholic drinks, they serve them with an attitude. Reception — this is the most arrogant staff I have ever encountered during my travels. No one smiles there, they don’t even try to help, and they respond rudely. I would never come back here again. The room: a very cold room. I stayed in building 6, and I never had hot water. No matter how many times I told the reception, it was never resolved. On the fifth day they offered to change my room. Food: very repetitive. Always the same. Whatever wasn’t eaten at dinner was served again for breakfast. I don’t eat meat, and there was never any fish here. Overall, it’s my first and last time here.

Will Not Go Back

Alan R on Nov 28, 2025

Not a good experience. Went on a Celebrity cruise and chose this resort for an all inclusive day pass that we paid $75 per person. It was advertised as an open bar all you can drink with access to the VIP lounge and a dedicated waitress. The drinks we watered down, tiny cup potions, the buffet was covered in flies and nats, and no bar staff. I would not go back or recommend and had this been a longer stay or family trip I would have immediately requested a refund. It was listed as a 4.5 star resort but if was more like a 3 star but granted I did not stay in a room.
