Only choose if money is not an issue and the average Caribbean standard is enough.

This is an average hotel, somewhere around 3 stars but at a 5 star price. This fact significantly spoils the hotel's rating, because if they were a little cheaper and communicated properly, it could be a very pleasant hotel. The room is an average Caribbean room, nothing extra, worn-out equipment, e.g. shower only on the top or let's say the bathroom equipment. The doors are not card-operated, but operate with a key. The single beds are not very big, the room is not either, we asked for a sea view, we got it, but in front of it there is the pool, the restaurant, so it only partially looked at the sea. The pool is very nice in the pictures, but in real life it is average, with salt water. The hotel's own beach is after the restaurant, after all, it has everything you need, foot shower, sun loungers, etc. But the beach is not turquoise and crystal clear water, but sandy, seaweed, wavy. The cleaning lady didn't bring water the second day, of course not because the hotel is pet bottle free, there is a water purifier, go and fill up the water, which is fine, but if you left the bottle in town, you don't have anything to fill up with water, I think you should reconsider this.
This would all be fine anyway, average Caribbean standard, but the check-in is slow, the hotel is a 3-star, but the price of 375 USD per night is completely unrealistic for this hotel, and that doesn't include the 50 USD per person breakfast either, so 475 USD per night for the two of us. If I add the location, I add that breakfast is 50 USD, and dinner is also about 50-100 USD. So 1 day in this hotel is 600 USD for two people, 300 USD per person, it seems quite a lot, for the quality listed above. The last time we paid this much for a hotel was in a Dominican community, but it was really on the beach, it was really 4 stars, with normal sized beds and I could list the differences.
Moreover, at the evening dinner they forgot our order, we had beer, beer and after the third beer, about 1 hour after ordering, we asked where the dinner was, then they realized that they forgot, so we got the dinner an hour and a half after the first order. Which was kind of fusion, neither European, nor Caribbean, nor Italian, so it wasn't worth 100 dollars.
But I could also say the breakfast, which is not a buffet but ordered, they forgot to bring one of the juices and the beans with tomatoes, we had to say so, for that reason.
Anyway, the hotel would have a good atmosphere, it would be a pleasant Caribbean hotel where I would gladly spend my time in the morning and evening, then have 1-2 drinks at the bar, but not for this much, the amount we left there is completely unrealistic.
