Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Disliked: Staff & service
Well it is obvious this place lack existence of top management. The hospitality level is weak and in fact needs a lot of work. The F&B choices are below average except for the Umi Yaki (Japanese) which was great “Michael did a great job”. If I am a GM of this place I will fire the F&B manager and I will not

LESS THAN ZERO!!! We stayed in the Beach Villa w/Pool and it was terrible. We knew immediately that the cleanliness was a concern as we noticed dust and bugs throughout the villa upon our arrival. When we pulled the bed sheets back there were live bugs, dead bugs, bug parts and a spider. We immediately called the front desk and they sent a supervisor. This guy was useless. When we showed him the bugs, his reply was, and I quote "It's a tropical island." No genius, there are bugs in the bed because you haven't cleaned this villa in who knows how long! I asked how he would feel if his wife were to lay in this bed and he just shrugged. We asked to be moved to a different villa but they only have the one Beach Villa w/Pool. The A/C didn't work properly and we requested multiple times that it be fixed but they did nothing. When I mentioned this to the same supervisor (Ahmed, I believe was his name) he literally laughed. We were paying $500/night for the villa that was dirty and with no A/C. We had to request a fan just so we could sleep without sweating to death. The pool was so dirty that the water looked gray and you couldn't even see the bottom tiles. Again, Ahmed blamed it on the sea water. Strange that when we asked them to clean it, you could finally see the bottom. I could go on but this place is terrible. The food quality is poor. The customer service is terrible. If you want to spend your money on mediocrity, this is the place for you.
