(Edit:
My
review
is
if
the
pool
villa
experience.
I
interacted
with
other
guest
that
stayed
in
regular
rooms
and
they
seemed
to
have
less
challenges.)
Most
things
that
were
sub
par
about
this
resort
had
more
to
do
with
the
fact
that
it
is
very
old
than
that
the
service
was
bad.
Our
2
bedroom
pool
villa
was
in
an
alarming
state
of
disrepair.
Every
room
had
several
items
that
were
either
broken
or
just
filthy.
Some
sockets
didn’t
work,
lights
that
would
not
stay
on,
screen
doors
that
didn’t
close
all
the
way,
curtains
and
blinds
that
just
needed
to
be
replaced
because
they
were
so
dirty.
Two
of
the
aircon
units
were
as
loud
as
jet
engines.
The
basement
bedrooms
were
constantly
damp
and
smelled
of
mold.
Several
lights
were
broken
on
the
pool
deck
and
the
outside
showered
didn’t
work.
Even
the
lock
on
the
front
door
was
broken
when
we
arrived.
It
took
them
two
visits
to
get
it
working.
The
issues
didn’t
stop
at
the
villa.
Beach/pool
furniture
was
filthy
as
were
the
towels
they
gave
out,
there
were
ants
everywhere
the
gym
equipment
was
old
and
looked
like
it
had
never
been
cared
for.
Room
attendants
came
in
twos
or
sometimes
threes
and
you
could
see
them
putting
in
the
effort
to
clean.
Overall
I
would
rate
the
cleaning
staff
as
good
and
the
service
staff
as
satisfactory.
There
were
no
standouts
however
and
there
was
no
“excellent”
service.
A
few
times
when
I
asked
for
things
(extra
towel
at
the
pool,
takeaway
container
at
the
bar,
mayo
at
breakfast)
I
was
told
where
to
get
it
myself
rather
than
someone
getting
it
for
me.
Also
there
was
an
annoying
recurring
theme
of
staff
going
out
of
their
way
to
let
you
know
that
they
were
accommodating
you.
“Sir
I
will
have
to
go
all
the
way
to
another
kitchen”
or
“I
will
have
to
go
to
another
cleaning
closet
to
get
that
for
you”.
Only
after
asking
a
second
or
third
time
would
the
staff
fulfill
my
request.
Not
terrible
but
not
what
I
think
of
as
5
star
service.
The
food
was
OK,
not
great
but
there
were
a
few
items
that
were
tasty.
There’s
no
in
room
breakfast
but
if
you
push
hard
enough
they
will
bring
you
items
from
the
buffet
to
your
villa.
The
pool
and
beach
servers
were
obviously
inexperienced.
I
could
see
that
being
a
result
of
the
pandemic.
Perhaps
they
aren’t
able
to
secure
quality
staffing
for
all
departments?
Some
of
the
restaurants
weren’t
open
but
the
ones
that
were
had
average
to
good
service.
Bartenders
were
not
great
everywhere
on
the
property
other
than
the
main
lounge.
I
eventually
just
stuck
to
beer
and
simple
drinks
that
couldn’t
be
messed
up.
You
can
see
in
the
“bones”
of
this
resort
that
it
was
probably
spectacular
in
its
day.
It
really
has
the
potential
to
be
outstanding.
The
location
alone
is
amazing
and
the
staff
appear
to
be
doing
their
best.
Father
Time
is
undefeated
though.
This
place
needs
updating
in
the
worst
way.
We
still
had
a
great
stay
but
won’t
be
back
unless
there
is
a
major
overhaul.
