Kamisha

Disliked: Cleanliness
Where do I begin, food was HORRIBLE! HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE! Room was dated, and not cleaned properly. Fridge was broke with hair in it, and when they came to replace it, they brought an even dirtier fridge! No premium or English channels. No trash bags in the trash cans and when I asked for some, housekeeping said they didn’t have them. Dirty sheets and towels (thank God I brought my own towels) Room service has NO selection of food! literally a choice of 2 sandwiches, 2 salads or nachos……THAT’S IT! LITERALLY! For this to be a “Palace” resort I was extremely disappointed and frustrated. The ONLY good thing about this resort is the themed parties, and swim up bar staff. But it’s very frustrating to NOT be able to eat after a day of partying and drinking. I made the best of my time there because it was my birthday, but I can honestly say I will NEVER go back to this resort, and I would NEVER suggest it to anyone.

Disliked: Amenities
What I didn’t like about the hotel: When I first checked in, the staff didn’t explain where anything was, which made it hard to find amenities and get oriented. The pools were a long walk from the rooms, which was inconvenient. There were no lights in the pool area after 6 PM, making it feel unsafe or unusable at night. Pools closed too early, so there wasn’t much time to enjoy them in the evening. There was no good selection of 24-hour food options, and room service either didn’t answer or never delivered. The shower had a terrible smell, like garbage, which made it unpleasant to use. The bed was uncomfortable—two twin beds pushed together, so sleeping in the middle was awkward. What I did like: Every staff member I interacted with was pleasant and nice, which made the experience a bit better despite the issues.

First time, overall it was a nice resort. The accommodations were satisfactory, not spectacular. Staff was amazing! Food was mediocre. Drinks were good and entertainment was great! The distance from the lobby to the beach and pools were a decent walk. The restaurants advertised open until 9:30pm I believe but most nights we witnessed them turning people away and saying closed around 8:30pm which left only the buffet option.

I was extremely not happy with the property. My daughter had insect bites all over her legs after being in the room. The 1st room we stayed at smelled very bad and moldy. They then moved us to another room when they saw the bites in my daughter’s legs. Which I ended up taking her to an on premise doctor and had to pay alot out of pocket more than $300. The food was horrible and the restaurant where not properly kept clean. I would never go back to this hotel
