I have a very mixed review on this hotel. Overall, the hotel was very nice, the room was spacious, and everything was well maintained. There were a few really big drawbacks that cause me to rate this hotel a 3. The biggest is the food. Overall, the food choices were awful. First is dinner reservations. You cannot make reservations before arrival, and upon arrival I attempted to make dinner reservations for the whole visit. The only thing available for 3 people was 9:00 pm every night. With a child, this doesn't work at all. I expressed my frustration with this and was told, that's what it is. So we settled for the buffet every night and most nights my 10 year old son ate bread and only bread. There were no kid friendly food options available. Ever. One night I finally broke down and asked if he could order pasta. We got it, but no one was pleased about having to do so. The final thing that I didn't care for was the 1.5 hour drive to and from the airport. The shuttle service was amazing, but after having such a terrible dining experience, the long, painful drive back to the airport was the final straw that made me realize I will never return. One other note, this hotel is advertised as family friendly. There were very few children at the resort. This hotel is definitely geared toward couples, not families. Read less

We arrived on 09 March and left on 19th March. This was the biggest resort we have stayed at in the Antilles. Given that it was at 98% occupancy when we arrived we did not feel too crowded and were able to find space. The activities were good. All of the activities staff were good but Lay was a particularly enthusiastic coach, especially in the beach boot camp and Danny helped a Squash player work out some form of Tennis. Thanks to both of them. The food for such a large place was good. Bamboo was generally used for breakfast as we like looking over the sea, the bookable places were OK. One great dinner at Morgans Pier and one not so good. The Palms (buffet) had different hemes each evening and became our preferred place. The rooms were OK,a little tired but you don't spend so much time in them. Facilities were good. Kayaks, Beach and Poll Volleyball were alway fun. For folk with children there looked to be good facilities and a specific set of pools for them and families with a bar etc. Would recommend. It was sort of closing down towards the end with the Covid 19 issues but the staff remained very friendly despite the fact most of them were being played off. Thanks for a good stay. Read less

We visited the week of 3/7-3/14. First off let me say that we are seasoned travelers and have been to many all inclusive beach resorts all over the Caribbean and Pacific side. I read many reviews from different websites before I book and I have to say this resort exceeded my expectations, although I do go in with reasonable expectations. Our room number was 1125 and we were very satisfied with the room’s accommodations and was most impressed with our balcony and view. Grounds and views were spectacular and staff was extremely friendly. We are from south Louisiana so we never go on vacation for the food but we do enjoy trying local dishes and for an all inclusive resort we were impressed with the food compared to other all inclusives. The wives really enjoyed Le Jardin, husbands were indifferent for the extra cost of $35pp. Daily activities and water sports were great and nightly entertainment was adequate, beach party is a must do. If I had a complaint it would be with the clarity of the water at the beach, hence the name Choc Bay, but that is not something the resort can control. Views of water and beach were still picturesque. I would not have a problem going back to this resort and would recommend to others. Overall excellent trip even with the stress of the CV. Read less

The Staff was incredibly kind and friendly, the place was very clean. They offered a ton of activities. I would recommend Morgan’s Pier, The Plum Tree Restaurant and Bamboo as the best food options. The Coffee Shop is unbelievably good. The Hilltop bar for sunsets and Red Door was our favorite stopping point. We traveled with 6 adults during the Coronavirus so it was thinning out with crowds but we were served quickly and able to sign up for everything we wanted to. The club has great activities like water aerobics, yoga and sailing. Highly recommend the Dirty Banana as a cocktail. Joy Tours was unbelievably fun, crew the best! Climbed the Piton and it took 4 hours and VERY strenuous as they say-4/6 of us made it up and I’d say we are in very good shape. Loved the trip and place! Read less
