Avoid
avoid
avoid!
Myself
and
my
husband
carefully
selected
this
5*
based
on
reviews
and
photos.
The
hotel
itself
was
nice,
however,
fairly
basic
considering
it’s
a
5
star
and
the
high
price
we
paid
compared
to
the
much
lower
price
we
could
have
paid
for
most
other
hotels
in
the
area
(eg,
no
conditioner
or
shower
gel
or
free
drinking
water!)
but
large
comfortable
bed
and
room
well
tidied
/
bed
made
every
day.
Our
issue
was
with
a
scam
being
operated
by
a
member
of
staff.
Whilst
in
the
jacuzzi
the
waitress
took
our
drinks
order;
we
requested
Havana
rum
and
coke.
She
told
us
that
they
did
not
have
Havana
and
that
there
was
a
similar
local
rum.
She
did
not
show
us
menus/prices,
but
you
would
assume
it
is
of
an
average
cost…..the
bill
was
660q
/
$85!!!
She
chose
the
most
expensive
rum
in
the
hotel
(without
telling
us!),
and
in
doing
so
also
increased
the
mandatory
10%
tip.
We
complained
and
were
offered
a
breakfast
box
as
an
apology…and
were
provided
with
out
of
date
yoghurt!
Thankfully
we
noticed
and
avoided
food
poisoning.
I
cannot
explain
how
bad
this
hotel
was
in
managing
the
incident.
Avoid
this
hotel
-
there
are
much
better
and
more
professional
hotels
in
Antigua.
