The room and the views were amazing nice and clean and we loved the staff! We were hugely disappointed with the food and lack thereof. Often out of items on the already limited menu, pretty tough to find fruit or vegetables. The menu in the one restaurant on site changes nightly but we couldn’t find anyone who knew what was in the menu until midday day of. We spent a lot of money on cabs and dining elsewhere. Pretty grim in the food department and we are easy to please, fruit and vegetables available would have been a saving grace The place is quiet and relaxing otherwise

Room was decent. Service was horrible. Location was good. Amenities was ok. Breakfast was good but other meals were bad and limited. I got only the breakfast and room package so I can try nearby food in case if I don’t like what they offer and plus I like to experience around wherever I travel. Usually when I see hotel does all inclusive or bed and breakfast it’s usually buffet style but this one is not. Lunch and dinner also not buffet style and very limited option and supper expensive so we said let’s try outside surrounding restaurants. There was nothing nearby and you have to take a $30 taxi to go to nearest restaurant and delivery options almost not existing. Unfortunately when we stayed wasn’t the warmest weekend so we needed to turn the heat on but found out it doesn’t work so we told the front desk who sent the maintenance guys 3 times and still never got fixed and we wasted that whole day back and forth between front desk and maintenance and then they offered me another room at 9 pm after wasting the whole day by that time we were too tired to pack and unpack in another room. When I tried reach the manager to file a complaint he was never present and seemed to never wanted to address the issues and never made himself available or his staff claimed he’s gone or off because of a holiday. When they got me a taxi to take us to airport he asked for a lot more than what I paid before and was using profanity asking for more money

Clean hotel, great staff, great food. Hotel needs some TLC but overall in good shape. Had issues with the hot water, sounds like it's a boiler/heat source issue, could be resolved with a new boiler. Front desk very helpful and easy to communicate with via WhatsApp or in person. Beautiful views, very quiet hotel. Great staff, great food. Great place if you are looking to relax.

We booked Senses even though the reviews were mixed. We definitely weren't happy with the experience we had. The property needs some substantial repairs and maintenance. From the day we arrived, we had no hot water in our shower. We told the lobby staff and they sent the maintenance technician to our room. After several tries, he was able to get lukewarm water. We asked if the issue was just located to our room and we were told that this issue is throughout the hotel and that the water never gets hot. We overheard another couple telling the lobby staff about the lack of hot water. We were able to use the jet tub the whole length of our stay to bath as that did have hot water. We lost hot water in the tub the day before we were supposed to come home but they were able to fix it. We have messages back and forth on WhatsApp regarding both of these issues. The tub we had was cracked and also repaired in a few places. They also removed the shower head in the tub so you couldn't use it to shower. What appears to be a hot tub on the balcony is not. It's just a cold water immersion pool. The food was ok most days and be mindful of the all inclusive package. We were told via WhatsApp that their are limits to the premium alcohol based drinks you can have with your package. The service staff (servers) did all they could to make this an enjoyable experience. Santiago, Christian, and Mesero did an excellent job. I would recommend staying elsewhere until all of the issues can be fixed.
The only hot water in our room was this jet tub. We bathed in this our whole stay
