Golden Parnassus Resort and Spa

Stayed here March 2021. They adhered to Covid rules but I have to say it was REALLY nice to not have to wear a mask all. the. time. We paid for an ocean view room and was placed on the 2nd floor, above the restaurant. The patio door seal was laying on the floor, the patio door acted as a sound machine because the wind was coming through, patio door didn't lock properly, tv didn't work, and anyone could come/go walking on the roof. The room was clean but needless to say we didn't feel very safe or satisfied so we got a different room the next night and for the remainder of our stay. The room on the 5th floor was much nicer. Door locked. Safe was better. TV worked. Was quieter in general. The view was much nicer. Pool was nice. Had to go out early and reserve a spot if you want a chair next to the pool with an umbrella. Limited umbrellas, they could use several more. I wanted sun but my husband is a red head and needs shade. Room service never answered their phone so I ended up walking down to the front desk and they walked me to the kitchen to get someone. Their description indicates that plenty of water and a fridge is in each room. No fridges in any of our rooms. And we got 2 bottles of water per day left in our room. If you tip and ask for more water they'll start leaving more. Our first all inclusive experience was a Sandals so our expectations were pretty high. If you're wanting a Sandals type experience, Parnassus is not it. But, if you want a fun week away from home at a reasonable price, this is a good place.

Great location, beautiful beach, great service. Smaller hotel so not very crowded, just about right. Employees work extremely hard and are very courteous and helpful. Snacks at The Breeze were great as well as the room service menu.

This is not a huge resort, it needs a little updating, but the staff and food are great. Rooms are very clean. Has a good ocean view, beach was nice, and the pool was clean. My wife and I enjoyed our visit. Bar tenders and staff did a great job.

The hotel itself is very dated and could use some repairs. But for the price we got the place was good. The staff is very nice and helpful. Oscar, Fonzy and Yessica went out of their way to help us and make our stay enjoyable.

We stayed in the resort for 2 weeks. Pro: Nice size room and balcony. Beautiful beach property. Good food. Room and property are very clean. Excellent service. Con: Old furniture in the room. Not enough receptacles. Cheap linens. WiFi cost extra. The pool is only 3-ft deep (but clean and nice).
