I recently stayed at this hotel and, unfortunately, my experience did not meet the expectations of a 5-star property.
The biggest disappointment was the service from several hotel staff members. The pool staff were consistently rude, rarely made eye contact, and gave the impression that they could not be bothered to assist guests. At the jazz bar, we were told, “8 pm no show,” even though we were only 10 minutes late and it was a walk-in arrangement. The way this was communicated felt unprofessional and unnecessarily made us feel unwelcome.
The check-in experience was probably the worst part of the stay. There was no warm welcome, no introduction to the hotel facilities, and no effort to make guests feel valued. The receptionist simply handed over papers for me to sign without explaining important information such as breakfast hours, gym opening times, hotel amenities, or other useful details. I was also asked to pay a security deposit without any explanation of the amount, purpose, or daily charges. Guests should not be expected to already know these details. Clear communication is a basic part of hospitality, especially at a luxury hotel.
The room itself was clean, and housekeeping maintained it daily. However, several basic amenities that are commonly expected in a 5-star hotel were missing. There were no slippers or bathrobes provided in the room, and vanity kits were not replenished automatically. We had to request them repeatedly throughout our stay, which became frustrating.
Another issue was the lack of complimentary drinking water. The water stations provided nasty water taste and no free bottle of water in your room at al, effectively forcing guests to purchase expensive drinks. For a hotel charging premium rates, this felt unreasonable.
Communication and consistency were also poor. During check-in, we were given written information stating that late checkout arrangements could be made the day before departure. However, when we called the front desk the day before leaving, we were told they could only confirm it on the actual day of departure. This directly contradicted the information provided at check-in and created unnecessary confusion. Throughout the stay, there were several instances where the hotel said one thing but did another.
The one positive aspect of our stay was the service in most of the restaurants. The restaurant staff were friendly, attentive, and provided far better customer service than many of the hotel staff. They genuinely made us feel welcome and were a highlight of the experience.
Overall, while the hotel facilities and cleanliness were satisfactory, the service standards fell far short of what should be expected from a 5-star hotel. When paying premium prices, guests expect professionalism, consistency, attention to detail, and a welcoming atmosphere. Unfortunately, the value and service received did not justify the cost of the stay.

This is a beautiful hotel, with many things wrong with it. 1) beach. It is very crowded and dirty, the seaweed is not cleaned at all. 2) food-extremely overpriced. You literally pay for air by staying at this property, although Carna-steakhouse is out of this world, food was amazing and very expensive. 3) pools you can never get a spot in any of the pools, that’s how crowded it is and front row loungers are $79/ chair

We had a wonderfull time here. I wish we spent more time in the resort. We’ll have to come back. Food is def too expensive. Best to eat off the resort and order room service.

I had such a lovely stay! The room was spotless, the bed super comfortable, and the staff went above and beyond to help with everything. The location couldn’t be better — close to all the main attractions but still quiet at night. Would definitely come back!

Incredibly crowded with overpriced restaurants. Some had decent food but most of it was sub-par.
Hotel amenities were decent and it is along a beautiful beach that is unfortunately also packed at most times. If you want to find a quiet seat near the pool you'll have to pay a steep price for it.
Service is mixed - some staff were pleasant but we also encountered quite a few who were rather unhelpful.
All in all, a pretty lackluster experience.

We stayed at the Grand Hyatt for 5 nights. We loved the choice of restaurants, pools, shops, the stunning beach (definitely opt for a sea view room!)
The resort is huge. But then it’s balanced out by lots of choice. A few niggles eg. Charging extra for beds next to the pool - these were often left empty (as were all the cabanas) so felt like a waste. They high daily resort fee should cover these costs. Or just have all beds the same good quality?!
The room was lovely, spacious and clean. Just missed things like… a sanitary bin by the toilet, amenities beyond shampoo and soap, no cosmetic removal pads, no spare toilet roll. No notepad and pen even - just basic amenities you’d expect in a standard resort, let alone a high end one.
All in all, it’s a fab place for couples, families with all ages of kids, it’s great for hosting work conventions - they racially have it all, all in beautiful surroundings!

Beautiful location and resort. Pools were great. Reservations for restaurants are highly recommended, especially dinner. Service is a bit slow. Very expensive. Amenities are nice.

The day we arrived the bell man took us to our room #1558 and there was a black pail with vomit it. We thought he would take care of it but that didn’t happen. The next day we spoke to a woman in a blue suit with an employee tag on and she said she would take care of it. Later came back to the room and it was still there. I called housekeeping and said that it would be taken care of. That did not happen. I went down to the front desk and spoke to a very nice young woman and she called housekeeping and told them the situation and when I got back from the pool, it was finally done. Btw this took three days to get resolved.
The ice machine was broken so I had to go up to the 16th floor to get ice. I called room service to deliver some ice but they never came. I had to get ice the entire time I was there.
Won’t be coming back….spent way too much money on the level of service that was supposed to be first class. So very disappointed.
