We paid over $800 to get a room in one of their external room buildings that was so dirty and could hear everything in the room next to us. Bottles and food sitting in wall ways. Upon arrival, the bell men just watched us as we dragged our bag in ourselves and found the front desk. The hotel is in a compound , which would be nice if you are strictly staying there and not wanting to venture out on foot.

Would be an overall excellent rating if it wasn’t for a very mishandled situation at check in.
I wish there were separate ratings for the areas of staff; front desk/reception was very poor, all other staff were excellent.

This property is absolutely beautiful, be sure to take the time to enjoy the history of it and enjoy all of the amenities. The service here was amazing. We were so thankful to receive a room upgrade to an ocean view. The room was incredible. We enjoyed taking advantage of a class at the fitness center. All of the outdoor areas were stunning,many dining options and many close by as well. We never had trouble finding a chair at the pool, an attendant brings you a chair towel and a beach towel. The poolside service with a pitcher of Sangria is a must! There’s a lot happening here for entertainment. We had a great time and cannot wait to come back!

Our check-in and check-out experience was very efficient. The location of our room in a building behind the gym provided the tinyest glimpse of a pool -- so it was underwhelming for a "pool villa.". However, it ended up to be convenient, and the room itself was nice. The poolside staff were extraordinary in both their lounge chair set-up for us and an iced coffee that wasn't really on the menu. Breakfast staff was wonderful as well. It was a great experience, and we will be back.

Beach front getaway
Check in was rather slow where we thought about leaving however we stayed because we really do prefer this hotel to others. The pool is amazing, swim up bar is great, room was beautiful and very romantic. Access to the beach is incredible.

Disappointed
My was very disappointed in this hotel. Paid over a grand for one night to have a terrible room, terrible service, and things were dirty. No late check out when you pay this much either, bellhop made me take my own luggage to the car because they were busy. Overall just never staying here again.

The property does not really match the Fairmont brand, it needs a few improvements.
I also did not like the fact that they sell day passes to people who do not stay in the hotel. The club in the lobby that allowed tons of 21 years old in - did not like that at all

Wonderful hotel would definitely come back!
Hotel is wonderful. Had Thanksgiving dinner in the Meat Market. Beautiful restaurant with great ambiance. We ordered turkey because it was our Thanksgiving dinner. Drinks and bread came our fairly quickly. However, then they must have forgotten us. After almost an hour I had to ask where our dinner was? They did Apologized and gave us two complimentary glasses of wine. A satisfactory gester and we looked forward to our Thanksgiving dinner. The vegetables and gravy were wonderful as was the bread. The turkey, our main reason for dining there, was dry and salty. Worse turkey we've ever had! Became they were so apologetic it was now late and I didn't have the heart to send it back. It is primarily a steak house and we saw a few beautiful steaks. Just don"t order turkey.
