We
recently
finished
a
stay
at
Beachcomber
and
are
left
confused.
Surely
the
idea
of
this
kind
of
place
is
to
make
your
guests
enjoy
as
much
as
possible?
That
focus
seems
to
have
been
lost.
The
Reception
area
is
stunning
and
staffed
by
friendly
and
joyful
staff,
music
keep
the
atmosphere
and
you
can
instantly
feel
on
holiday.
They
then
take
you
down
stairs
to
the
pool
area,
the
hub
of
the
resort.
There
is
no
music
playing,
no
joyful
atmosphere
from
the
single
bar
area
that
only
has
a
few
bar
stools
and
is
more
used
by
the
8
staff,
hanging
about.
Opposite,
the
main
buffet
and
one
of
the
a
la
carte
restaurant
(allowing
it
to
transform
into
an
extra
buffet
area)
and
serving
out
of
the
same
kitchen
as
the
buffet.
When
busy
at
breakfast
and
dinner
the
area
is
chaotic,
not
relaxing
at
all
-
its
only
open
for
2
hours
and
seemly
could
bearly
cope
with
the
amount
of
people.
Staff
wander
around
aimlessly,
rules
change
daily
as
to
what
they
can
do
with
wine,
water.
They
serve
house
red
and
white
but
many
servers
dont
realise
there
is
actually
2
types
of
both
and
you
dont
want
them
mixed.
That
said,
All
inclusive
makes
the
hassle
factor
a
little
less.
Navigator
by
the
sea
seems
to
have
the
better
staff,
better
kitchen
and
we
shared
some
good
moments
watching
the
sunset
here
(but
as
plastic
is
not
allowed
drinks
are
served
in
cardboard
cups
on
the
beach)
-
Food
is
also
a
much
higher
standard
and
staff
are
more
up
to
speed
-
but
too
often
you
find
them
sitting
about
the
guest
areas
on
their
phones,
rather
than
attending
guests.
This
is
the
only
'beach'
bar
that
exists
but
its
usually
set
for
their
smart
evenings,
you
almost
feel
wrong
walking
in
to
get
a
Rum
and
coke
with
Sand
on
your
feet.
I
actually
dont
have
any
issues
with
the
rooms
-
we
had
a
normal
room
and
it
functioned
well,
the
bed
was
very
comfortable
and
we
had
nice
view
of
the
sea
(as
well
as
a
great
room
cleaner)
Activities
:-
The
beach
is
separated
into
many
different
areas,
most
are
pretty
rocky,
the
water
goes
out
500m
at
only
about
1.5m
so
safe
for
standing
and
reef
protected
-
That
said
swimming
was
not
recommended
on
most
days
(red
flag).
Neither
was
any
wind
sports
either
due
to
too
much
wind,
wind
in
the
wrong
direction,
or
not
enough
water.
The
sail
area
is
actually
far
too
small
to
really
sail
and
the
aged
kayaks
and
paddle
boards
are
your
only
real
option.
They
offer
free
15
minute
ski
and
wake
sessions,
but
this
done
in
the
water
of
Club
Med
so
hidden
from
the
view
of
the
rest
of
the
guests.
Many
activities,
in
fact
are
hidden
-
Archery,
Boules,
Tennis,
even
the
Volleyball
is
before
the
hotel
entrance.
Its
almost
as
though
they
are
embarrassments.
Mini
golf
also
tucked
away
The
Gym
is
so
small
that
you
can
bearly
operate
the
equipment
inside
-
for
a
Resort
of
this
standing
its
mearly
another
box
tick
to
justify
the
price.
Golf
itself
doesnt
exist
at
the
resort-
the
course
is
10
mins
away
-
for
me
therefore
it
CANNOT
be
a
golf
resort
like
other
Beachcombers.
There
is
so
little
communication
about
it
-
infact
Communication
about
EVERYTHING
is
totally
misplaced
or
hard
to
find
-
they
have
printed
magazines
(saying
how
eco
friendly
they
are)
but
dont
have
a
printed
doc
with
basic
hotel
info
-
its
on
an
App
-
which
is
not
the
same.
Those
that
like
history,
there
was
an
opportunity
to
make
the
light
house
the
centre
piece
-
instead
its
given
over
to
a
teen
club
meaning
most
that
stay,
and
pay,
cannot
enjoy
it.
And
going
back
to
the
first
point
about
a
relaxing
atmosphere
for
guests
-
Those
that
like
to
sleep
in
will
not
-
on
every
day
of
our
stay,
from
between
7:30
-
8:30
maintenance
were
either
fixing
a
room,
strimming,
cutting
grass,
leaf
blowing
-
all
the
noises
we
wanted
to
escape
on
a
tranquil
holiday
overlooking
the
sea.
Of
course
on
your
way
to
breakfast
you
also
need
to
dodge
watering
sprinklers
getting
you
wet
along
each
path.
The
marketing
and
expectations
do
not
match
the
delivery
-
They
should
stop
trying
to
cater
for
all
and
focus
on
the
things
they
can
do
well
and
lose
the
other
bits.
