Honest review

What could be better

  • The hotel needs to urgently overhaul its customer service training, as guests reported staff were consistently rude, unhelpful, and sarcastic, particularly when dealing with complex or non-standard requests.
  • The resort must address its serious sanitation and pest control problems, as guests found large cockroaches, stray cats, mold in the vents, and an overall musty, unpleasant odor throughout the property.
  • The hotel needs to improve its property maintenance and food quality to justify its luxury pricing, as guests complained about dated, old rooms, broken amenities, and poor-quality food with cold and undercooked dishes.

How we choose

Every hotel on this list is cross-checked across Google, Booking.com, Tripadvisor, Agoda and Hotels.com — plus first-hand traveler accounts on Reddit, Instagram, and TikTok. We screen aggressively for fake or incentivised reviews and weight only verified, recent, substantive guest feedback. We accept no paid placements and no sponsored reviews. When affiliate links earn a small commission, we disclose it; it never influences which hotels appear here.
