San Miguel I Holidays from AU$1,158

Clean rooms. Beach was short distance from the room. Several pools available. Beach was clean with plenty of chairs all day and palm tree shade- the cleaning crew removed small amount of sargasso early in the morning. Beach bar was available al day and the lady that served was polite and tireless. Fuji restaurant was magnificent- best experience with such an amazing chef cooking hibachi style.

Water was leaking from ceiling when it rained. Water flow from shower was so slow. There was a huge ant infestation that was present throughout our entire stay. The first day wee were given pastries as a gift upon our first arrival, and was surrounded entirely by ants everywhere in large quantities. We immediately called room service to put a stop to it, and we were given a can of bug spray that was almost empty. The days after we had ants all over the floors at random places in time. They were from the floor, to behind the bed frame, or sink. It was uncomfortable knowing that each time I set foot in the room, ants could be near or on you when you're sleeping. It ruined the enjoyment of the rooms. This is beyond disgusting and UNACCEPTABLE. It needs to be addressed immediately so other guests do not have this type of problem. The bartenders need more experience on how to make cocktails. All drinks were mainly fruit juice and colored syrup with less alcohol. Sometimes it felt they were improvising instead of following certain recipes on how to make drinks properly. Food is a mixed bag. There is not much to choose from when it comes to buffets compared to other resorts, but the food is generally flavorful and good. By the third day you can definitely see that the food is repetitive during the lunch buffet. A rotating menu can also be nice at each of the three restaurants. It can definitely benefit from more variety, food options, and more vegetarian options.

Loved the included excursions and the overall beauty and vibe of both the Explorean and Fiesta Americana. Unfortunately,the two best restaurants with views are closed right now- and no one told us. It was a big disappointment because many of the restaurant options are without AC and the ambiance was severely lacking.

Would go back for the friendliness of the staff, and the gorgeous beach. Great options at all of the buffets. We enjoyed the oriental restaurant. Our dive shop picked us up at the dock every day. We loved the fast service at the bars and the lovely ladies serving drinks on the beach. Really the staff were so kind. The grounds are beautiful. Our 2nd floor room was small but what we needed. We would have appreciated the AC to be a little more predictable, and there was quite a strong musty smell. I imagine 1st floor would be better since the buildings are thatch roof. Another issue was a faint smell of sewage from the water. All in all, this resort made for a fantastic budget vacation. Lots of families at the resort. The kids water park area looked suited best for ages 5 and under. Lots of activities happening at front pool and beach for all ages. We didn’t venture out at night because we go to bed early but heard some music and entertainment as well just can’t comment on how that was.

I love the location of this resort. Its also an easy resort to navigate.
