Top Hotels Near beach in from NZ$356

"Very friendly staff , facilities and pools in excellent conditions ! "

"The property was beautiful, clean, staff was nice as well. The property needs more reservation restaurants. Making a reservation was nearly impossible. "

"The welcome staff and the restaurant staff and housekeeping were top notch. I was disappointed in the pool staff who brought drinks. There were may times we were trying to get food or drinks and often got walked past. The drinks were not very good. Our room had banging sounds in the air conditioning and for three days we got cold water. We brought the problems to the front desk and the response was thanks. We are aware. Overall it has good food and restaurants. Loved the Sante one the most. I liked it was a small resort so never a problem with the chairs or to get food. Would like to have more options for evening activities. "

"Beautiful views from the pools on the Club side but there were many kids so if you are looking for more of a relaxing setting stay at the hotel side. Pool service is also slow . "

"Poolside service was very good with Alexis. Staff was very pleasant and helpful. "

"The food on this property is absolutely amazing!! The rooms are also clean and the service is top-notch. However, the one large downside is how much this hotel is constantly trying to sell you and the constant sales pitches. After our flight that was delayed 3 hours, the hotel staff wasted another hour trying to persuade us to joining a time-share meeting for the property. Highly recommend this hotel staff take it down a notch as it really turns customers off. "

"This is a top tier resort. All 4 of the premium restaurants had several outstanding options, and food presentation was very high. The drinks were also exceptional, in presentation, preparation, and selection. Top shelf name brand choices of almost every bottle you can imagine. The beds were comfy, the pools were clean, the crowds were well managed, and the grounds are spotless. Negatives? Not many really, but the tipping is odd. Even if you are all-inclusive, you need to 'charge out' for everything you eat or drink with a bracelet tap to their handheld devices. Of course, guilt trip tip options are presented. And they 'helpfully' suggest tip percentages against insane menu prices for everything. (A steak dinner for four with four drinks was nearly $700 USD according to the menu prices.) If you were blindly hitting the middle tip option every time you settled up you'd be adding a huge chunk of cash to your bill. We chose to ignore the suggested options and tipped what we felt was appropriate, in cash. Staff members told us they preferred the cash anyway. Still, it was annoying to go through the dance every time you wanted to go somewhere else. Bottom line - We enjoyed our stay and we'd definitely go again."

"The spa's wellness experience is worth diving into. "

"cute house with character. Fabulous location steps from the beach. The little unheated pool was plenty warm in late March. We enjoyed delicious meals by both Gloria and Marriza. A few minor details – three of four beach chairs were broken and there were inadequate kitchen cleaning supplies. Luckily Gloria brought a sponge. also replies to our messages were a bit slow, particularly before the trip started as we were making final plans. All in all, we’d rent this property again!"
