    Areas for Improvement

    Guest Feedback

    The cost of basic items and dining is consistently cited as a major drawback. Reviews mention a $25 pizza and a buffet breakfast priced at $74 per person. Additionally, in-room amenities such as bath bombs and sun lotions are charged for, which can be unexpected at this price point.  

    Guest Feedback

    The resort is spread across three islands, and guests rely on a butler-operated buggy service for transportation. Numerous reviews highlight long wait times, which can lead to significant frustration and missed reservations. This points to a logistical disconnect between the resort's expansive design and the efficiency of its internal transportation system.

    Guest Feedback

    The in-room technology, particularly the iPad-based controls, is described as unintuitive, with buttons that are "randomly unpushable". Guests also report that the lighting is too dim and better suited for "mood than vision," impacting the room's functionality
