Honest review
What could be better
- —The hotel needs to improve maintenance and address outdated facilities to match its luxury pricing, as guests reported broken room features, dirty pools, and a filthy beach.
- —The resort must update its customer service policies and practices by being more flexible and accommodating to guests facing unforeseen circumstances, like flight cancellations, especially for Marriott loyalty members.
- —The hotel should stop making false claims and engaging in poor business practices, such as advertising a public beach as private and being unwelcoming to people not staying on the property.

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.
