We stayed for 10 days in the club level longshore beachfront walkout room as a couple for a vacation. It was the perfect room for us at the quiet end of the resort. While we loved everything about our stay we will miss the people the most. Employees that made their mark include sweet Monique in the coffee shop (I’m already missing my iced honey latte), Daynia who seemed to work across most restaurants and King James from entertainment team. We enjoyed walking the beach every day up to Beaches and back, stopping and talking to locals along the way (shout out to Mike and his 2 pups). We enjoyed some lobster from Iko at Fireman’s Pit, had Sledge sing us a song and daily visits from the kitties, little ginge was my favourite! Brava was most definitely our favourite restaurant! The steak was amazing. Kimonos the first night we went was great, big portions and entertaining, but a different chef the second night not so great (seemed nervous & did not engage the group and everything drenched in soy sauce). Barefoot was the most serene with great views morning and night. Sundowner took far too long to serve so we gave that a miss. The buffet was always great and staff accommodating. We did find some mixed communication from staff, for example being told we would need to pay for snorkelling if we didn’t join the exclusive Club trip (you don’t). Another staff member told us we can’t reserve front row sunbeds only butlers (you can and lots did). I was also told when I asked a staff member in the Club office as I eat gluten free just to notify the servers when I arrive at restaurants, but Daynia shared that I should speak to the culinary desk to understand the menus better. Watersports rules also not clearly explained and differ between who you speak to. Mostly though service is spot on and you are made to feel very much at home. One small niggle is that I normally enjoy daily use of a spa with my partner and we hadn’t realised they were separated male and female. We ended up going three times and on the first my partner said the steam room wasn’t working, and sauna didn’t get hot. My second time I found the steam room not to work for me and on the third neither was working. I told staff and they were aware and said maintenance were coming to fix it but I couldn’t understand why they would let me go in if they knew. We didn’t overly mind because we enjoyed lying on the beach. We didn’t use the pool at all as it was a bit too cliquey around that area for our liking as it’s very small. You can’t swim at the beach which we hadn’t realised as the area you can go in is very small but again it didn’t bother us too much. We don’t normally care for entertainment either but couldn’t help wanting to watch and King James did a good job at entertaining and getting us involved! Everyone was friendly and we felt very much at home. The staff at the excursion desk also go above and beyond trying to make arrangements that work best for you and thankfully we enjoy
