The reason I didn't rate it high in cleanliness, The pool and the spa definitely need work. There were tiles missing in the spa. I don't think all of the Jets were working. It definitely doesn't look like the spot on the web page. And the outdoor pool had slime all around the water line. I didn't go in because it didn't look like they clean it on a regular basis. In my room the skirt to the bed had spots on it, but the actual bed and sheets were perfectly clean. The bathroom seemed very clean and the towels were amazing!!
I was unaware of a deposit required for each night even though I had paid for my room in full. So that was a bit of a surprise and I'm still waiting for the refund on that.
The breakfasts were delicious. And the portions for room service are huge!! The food was really good. I had a view of the port with my own terrace. The terrace had two lounge chairs and room for a breakfast table and chairs. That was a nice plus! Overall, it was a really fantastic experience. There was a gentleman that helped me with dinner reservations. Unfortunately, I don't remember his name but he was very helpful and kind and his reservation recommendation was spot on. Thank you

The beds are amazing but the “upgrade” they sold us was to a very noisy side of the hotel. We didn’t sleep - it was loud until 5am

Not really a 5 star hotel. The main restaurant was fully booked the first night we were there and closed the next two nights. The bar menu was good, but not available on one night. One of our rooms experienced a flood in the shower where the drain was clogged with an incredible amount of hair. Water actually leaked into the next room. No bellman, and lack of expected 5 star service. Other than that, the rooms were comfortable and the location was good.

Given room key that did not work. The entire first floor of rooms smell like raw sewage and then they try to perfume the corridors to get rid of the smell. Had to hold breath from elevators until got inside room and opened windows and then met with the blast of diesel from the trucks lined up in parking lot below.
