I am due here in Nov 2024 and the reviews are putting me off staying at this hotel. It’s my wedding anniversary and it’s a special time . I think i might change location. What can the hotel do to garantee a good stay. Seems the staff are rude from the reviews and customer service is lacking. Virgin holidays seems to book this hotel for its customers and if this hotel is this bad perhaps Virgin holidays should drop them. I wish i had seen these bad reviews sooner . It’s off putting . Especially the staff and the building work going on the the cleanliness as i have a medical condition and can’t be in a dirty room. Read less

It was the most terrible experience at the hotel. To start, don't expect to get your deposit back—because you won’t! They charged a $45 service fee per night, so for our 5-night stay, that came out to a whopping $225. I wouldn’t have minded paying if the services were actually provided. But here’s the kicker: 1.

It was the most terrible experience at the hotel. To start, don't expect to get your deposit back—because you won’t! They charged a $45 service fee per night, so for our 5-night stay, that came out to a whopping $225. I wouldn’t have minded paying if the services were actually provided. But here’s the kicker: 1. The pool, hot tub, and beach umbrellas were not accessible, and as such, these services were unavailable to us. 2. We were unable to enjoy the terrace as all the furniture had been removed. 3. The daily cleaning service was not fully provided; only the garbage was collected. 4. I also requested toothpaste, but it was not delivered, requiring me to purchase it myself, so I had to go to buy it in the stormy rain. 5. I asked for a kettle, but I was informed that it was not available at that time. 6. I could not have coffee in the room as there was no sugar or creamer provided. 7. I was never informed about the additional service fee charges when I paid the deposit. I reached out to management to request a reimbursement for the service fee, but Supervisor Chara was disrespectful in her response. Her manager, Emma, completely ignored my email. I firmly believe that excellent service and respect for clients are essential in the hospitality industry. Unfortunately, this hotel failed on both fronts. Terrible! Read less
Image of the Tripadvisor rating DO NOT STAY HERE!!! Everything being repaired!!!

Oct 16, 2024 Steven L Upper Marlboro, Maryland

DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!!! EVERYTHING is under repair: The jacuzzi, the mattresses for the poolside lounge beds, the elevator (yes it did not fully open), the pool deck ( had to take a separate elevator), still painting the ways. Once you get inside to your rooms the beds are old and shabby, living room furniture beat up. AGAIN DO NOT STAY HERE!!!!

Booked room with 2 beds, but they gave us a room with only a single bed. Suite was very nice though not what we had requested. Front desk staff was very defensive/unhelpful with what was pretty clearly a discrepancy with what we had requested. Overall rude staff would be a turn off from staying at the place again. Roof top pool was nice.

We stayed for one night due to evacuating from the hurricane…photos on the website are so different to what you actually get although it is a good location. Unfriendly staff when checking in & room was filthy.

We stayed for one night due to evacuating from the hurricane…photos on the website are so different to what you actually get although it is a good location. Unfriendly staff when checking in & room was filthy. Old cigarettes left on terrace, bedding scruffy, stained curtains, filthy floor, dirty bathroom & even found someone’s old contact lens in the bathroom. We were so looking forward to our stay there after a stressful journey evacuating from the hurricane but to be honest we couldn’t wait to check out. So disappointing as really spoilt our trip to Miami. Read less
