Billed as a superior 3 star, oversized pool snorkelling lagoon.
On our arrival, the reception staff said we could not have adjoining rooms, as we had booked and there was no way we would be able to even be on the same floor.
After a 20 minute wait, they told us that the rooms we would be getting, would not be ready for two hours.
I would not even rate this place as a 2 star - it was grubby, had very dated and tatty decor and the air conditioning when working, was very noisy and the staff could not have cared less.
The food was repetitive undercooked and poorly presented. The lighting in the dining room was very dull (I wonder why?).
The area by the pool was strewn with dirty food plates and food that the numerous cats were left to enjoy.
The outside bar was very smelly and the carbonated drinks were regularly flat, staff interest NIL.
The puddle that was the pool was very cold and was cleaned during the morning when people wished to swim.
The snorkelling area was littered with cans and debris not pleasant to be in at all. The so called entertainment was pathetic and when on succeeded only in blocking the foyer and access to the lifts.
I would not recommend this place to backpackers never mind a family.

A damp, musty, smelly, rusty, old 60's style hotel. I booked a 2 week holiday for my family and it was a total waste of £5,000! ($10,000) I wish I had read some of the reviews on it before I went.
The staff just weren't bothered. We had to fight to get the twin connecting rooms I had paid extra to secure in the UK. The air/con was incredibly noisy, (like you'd expect in some cheap 60's motel). The whole place was leaking. The ceiling collapsed in the Dive Shop. Nothing worked, the whole experience was terrible and I am in dialogue with my Travel Agent.
The pool bar stank of stale booze, the drinks machines were unhygienic and dispensing flat coke etc. Plus they were faulty and giving electric shocks.They played urban, street, hip hop sounds all day every day - 100 decibels - by the poolside, and then all night in the bar. What little entertainment was amateurish in the extreme.
A total rip off. The decor was bodged and painted over, check out the ceilings in the main restaurant. It’s a shame, they must have milked millions of dollars from the US and the UK tourists over the last 40 years, but have re-invested nothing back into the hotel. Check the decor inside the lifts for example.
It’s a sad, run down relic. No surprise that Holiday inn removed their name from ownership, it would damage their reputation.
Don't stay there - trust me.

My sister and I just stayed there and had a wonderful time. I'll admit after reading some of the older reviews we were a little cautious, but were already committed to the trip. We generally rely on ourselves for a good time, and not on others to make it for us, but we needn't have worried about anything.
The room was above average for a 3 star resort, and the view was fantastic! They have done many recent renovations and are still updating, but they only work on one floor at a time which they close off to the public so you don't have any inconveniences.
The entire staff is courteous and helpful, but not intrusive at all. The food was excellent, although we did not get a chance to try the 'fancy' restaurant. The man-made lagoon does have some trash wash in from the harbour, but they take care of it throughout the day (without disturbing you). We did find out that the best time to go is in September, or other times in the off season.
They have a lot of students show up during spring & summer breaks, and they allow drinking at 18 so many of the students turn the place into party central and just trash it. What a shame! So if your an adult single, couple, or family, go in the off season and you'll have a wonderful and relaxing time. If you're a student and want to party, please be an adult about it and have some respect for other people’s property, and those around you.
By the way, the pool is salt-water and you can float in it forever - Heaven!
