Not sure how but the marine life was so much more vibrant than last year, thus snorkeling was a fairy world pleasure! The staff - as always - contributed greatly to our experience. Standout thanks to Ooma, from housekeeping, and Nishta, who memorized our preferred orders and had them at the ready. Once again, a wonderful experience!

The hotel is good, however, there are too many restrictions and staff are not as hospitable ( too many restrictions around what you can and cannot do). Simple things like taking water glasses to different floors isn't allowed. The payment methods are also weird, excursions are either charged to the room or not, it's not clear what the pricing or where to pay (card payments not accepted for excursions).To make guests relations easier and quicker, there should be one method of payment chargeable to the room. The hotel could do with improvements in how staff interact with guests. Read less

It was delightful to walk out of our to to her warm greeting. Our room is always sparkling clean as soon as we come back. She was always willing to walk the extra mile for us to have the most relaxing stay. We surely hope that the next person staying here will also have Jessica in charge of their housekeeping, because she is just a ray of sunshine in the mornings. Thank you Radisson Blu and Jessica!
