  Good Pre Cruise Stay

  We were a little concerned with booking at the Courtyard due to the wide range of recent reviews. We are glad we gave it a try. Contrary to some recent reviews we found our room to be clean and well maintained. The staff were uniformly friendly and helpful. The location was good for us to do some self guided walking tours. We felt very safe in the area. Plenty of good restaurant option easily walked to on the boardwalk area. We would not hesitate to book here again if we didn't want the all inclusive large resort.

  Hennessey of Nothing

  The taxi ride from the airport to the hotel was great, and the front desk staff provided excellent service. My room was clean, spacious, and maintained daily. The staff at the restaurant were outstanding they took wonderful care of me and my needs. The buffet breakfast offered a nice variety and was a great way to start the day. However, dinner was disappointing. During my week-long stay, I found the dinners unsatisfactory each night, ranging from overly fresh salmon and overcooked steak to bland shrimp served with the Caesar salad. Additionally, I requested Hennessy on Monday night after the bottle they had was finished, but by my departure on Saturday, it still had not arrived.

  Do Not Stay Here

  I stayed here for a business trip. I am most disheartened that the hotel would have assigned me to what I later learned to be the noisiest room in the hotel. The AC unit kept humming all night and the room vibrated all night due to equipment on the roof. It felt like sleeping in an airplane, but worse. After calling the front desk at 2 am, I was provided a new room the next morning. However, no one really conveyed any apology for my inconvenience of having to pack up and move in the midst of a business trip. The customer service in general is poor. The staff, in exception for the maids, acted like I was a bother to them. I won't be staying here ever again, and I strongly suggest that you don't.

  Lovely

  A friend and I had a brief stay at this hotel and it was lovely, just what we both needed … rest and relaxation … the room was clean and modern looking and the bed was comfortable. The food was nice and the staff very pleasant. My only complaint was the pool area which needed some care and sanitation. We were planning to go in the pool but changed our minds based on the uncleanliness of everything in that area including the pool. However, over all it was a very decent stay and we will return.

  $450 / night for a motel quality room!

  Yes, I paid $450 / night for this hotel that has motel size and quality rooms. Website says "stylish" bathrooms........ yes, with plastic shower curtains, old style bathtub and aging bathroom fixtures, shower with anemic pressure and tiled floor! Yes, I paid $450 / night for this hotel with an uninviting, decrepit pool overlooking the parking lot and main road. Yes, I paid $450 / night for this hotel for noise levels from traffic, maintenance, construction that will make a concert seem like silence. Yes, I paid $450 / night for this hotel that does not include breakfast even though I am a lifetime Platinum elite member, not that the breakfast is worth having at $33, being the same boring, tired, inedible Western fare with juices that are nothing but sugar water and stale bakery items. Yes, I paid $450 / night for this hotel for a toilet flush that did not work properly, had to call a plumber 6 times in 5 days who insisted on "teaching" me how to use and fix a flush! Yes, I paid $450 / night for this hotel that has a taxi racket going on right in its lobby with drivers sitting and waiting for their prey at highly inflated prices, all supported by the hotel. At this price level I could have enjoyed a luxury stay anywhere in the world instead of a budget property that purports to be a luxury hotel. I have never paid this kind of a price for a Courtyard, which is a midrange brand, anywhere in the world. And of course, just as the Courtyard in Port of Spain, they are stingy in honoring the benefits to their most loyal and elite Bonvoy members (upgrade, breakfast). At Port of Spain the excuse was "not a full service" hotel, here the excuse was "no executive lounge". What does an executive lounge have to do with breakfast, it was being served in the restaurant. Of course, they would rather milk their members of the insanely priced $33 breakfast! Oh, and if you need your laundry done, be prepared for $26 for trousers and $20 for shirts. I get my shirts done in NYC at $2. The Caribbean is a big ripoff that trades on the gullible Western tourist from the USA, Canada and the UK who have money to throw around. These impoverished countries are making hay while the sun shines with exorbitant prices for everything. Stay away, it is just not worth it. And finally, Joe-Ann / Kelly-Ann, please do not bother responding with generic responses if you are unable to address specific issues mentioned above.
