My overall experience at this resort left much to be desired. While the frontline staff were friendly and hardworking, they were clearly understaffed, making it difficult for them to be effective. Once the resort got busy, long lines formed at every bar, not just for drinks but even for clean glassware. The employees did their best, but they simply didn’t have the resources to keep up with demand.
Unfortunately, the most disappointing part of my stay was dealing with the front desk and management. They were unaccommodating and unwilling to assist when issues arose. Simple requests were regularly denied, making what should have been a relaxing vacation unnecessarily frustrating. Instead of operating as a "resort of yes," this property felt like a "resort of no."
For example, I was denied an ice bucket for the beach, which should be a basic amenity at an all-inclusive resort. When I arrived at a restaurant just ten minutes before closing, hoping to grab a plate of pastries, I was refused service because they had finished seating—despite 100 people still dining. Even getting empty wine glasses was a hassle; instead of providing them, staff insisted on serving full glasses of wine, forcing me to waste perfectly good wine just to get the glassware.
A resort should prioritize guest experience by accommodating reasonable requests. While the frontline staff tried their best, poor management and a rigid service approach left a lasting negative impression.
