10/10 Exceptional

The El Zafiro property was actually closed and the staff there relocated us to the Simpson Bay Resort, Marina, and Spa. Grateful that the El Zafiro management and staff alleviated a possible stressful situation for their guests. The situation was handled very professionally. Must love and respect for the El Zafiro hotel.

6/10 Good

The property was beautifully located on a lovely white sand beach. I utilized the free airport pickup and was welcomed with a lovely drink from the bar. My room was very beautifully decorated and clean, however the shower could have been cleaner. The shower curtain was very filthy and the shower handle came off when i 1st tried to take a shower after sitting on the porch and got my clothes soaking wet, underwear and all. I brought it to the attentio of the front desk and no one came to fix it. I was told that it will be fixed when i checked out. As for cleaning, no one came to clean nor even to take the trash out. I was a bit disappointed. Its sad because overall, the location and hotel is not a bad place to be..
