    Certain members of staff have a tendency to forget their place and remember they are presumably here at work first n foremost to please the paying guests but being cruel and bullying other members of staff / filing their nails and being rude and disrespectful to full paid up guests . There’s a dragon on reception

    Please see yesterday’s comments already posted a glowing report . Should now also add swimming under the night sky and sragazing and pre breakfast swim in lively pool being cleaned and skimmed today ! Pool water looking gorgeous this morning with scattered hibiscus flowers floating on top . The line flavoured frozen cheesecake is literally to die for

    I'm an early riser, and sunrise with a coffee is my thing. However, the kitchen doesn't open until 8am.

    The rooms could do with some small improvements. The pillows for one are unbearably large and hard so we ended up sleeping with no pillows, but the bed itself was very comfortable. It was quite warm so we slept with the AC on and it was a tad chilly with just a sheet so we asked the front desk if they had a blanket and they did not, so we ended up waking up occasionally to turn off and on the ac to accommodate. We tried to use the fan instead, but it was so wobbly that it was too loud to sleep with, plus it seemed like it might actually wiggle itself free and fall on us haha. Everything else was great!

    The location and snorkeling was the best!! I loved being on the cliffs and watching the marine life(rays jumping in the morning right in our cove, and a whole pod of dolphins during sunset). The food was delicious although a little pricey. It’s a short walk to rock house to get variety of meals and comparable pricing and enjoy the luxurious grounds. Rooms are clean and the landscaping is wonderful and authentic; full of hibiscus, mango trees, ganja and Bougainvillea vines. The pool is a nice alternative to the ocean if the weather is too windy or choppy for swimming. Staff is very friendly and accommodating minus one gal who took some time to warm up but eventually did. Snorkel equipment was clean and functional and is totally worth it to see the amazing sea life and coral just in the cove and even better if you venture just around the bend a bit.

    We made the best of what was available under the circumstances with the weather conditions.

    What we didn't like was no fault of Xtabi. There were straight-line winds and a fire which prompted an outage and loss of plumbing in the area as well as places being closed and damage to the beach area. They did get things up and running fairly quickly. Also, it was very windy most of the time we were there which made it impossible to go snorkeling which again was no fault of Xtabi.

    We liked the location, friendly staff and facilities available including the restaurant/bar by the cliffs and caves. The food was very good and I especially liked the coffee! The staff was very attentive and there were always staff watching when someone was going to cross the very busy road between the restaurant and hotel. There was always a taxi available at the facility when we needed a ride.

    I really loved everything about the place except the no air-conditioning. During our stay it was very very humid so it did make for an uncomfortable nights sleep. If it was a little bit less humid and a little bit more of a breeze, I’m sure it would’ve been perfect but this particular evening Was like a steam bath in the room.

    I never requested a quiet room, I never made a special request for anything. We did not eat breakfast, but we did eat dinner and that was OK. The location is awesome, you can just go right off of the cliff and snorkel.

    The staff was pretty unfriendly. You couldn't get a hello out of them (except for one gardener) and we had the feeling that they didn't really want us there. None of them ever smiled and they seemed annoyed when we had any questions.

    The Xtabi Resort is a nice place in a beautiful location. It is far away from the beach and the city centre, so you need a car if you want to get around more. But it is right at the cliffs and you can do cliff diving or explore the caves. Our room was good and spacious, as was the bathroom. It was clean as well. From our place you couldn't see the cliffs or the ocean. We were on the other side of the road but we had easy access to the cliffs via the restaurant that was part of the resort.

    Our smoke alarm was not working, it kept beeping, The only way the guy could fix it was to remove it !! Room took a long time to cool off. AC had been left off fir a while and with the high ceiling itvwas very warm in there! D I don't feel the coolness until the next morning!

    It was a beautiful location. We enjoyed exploring the caves and tunnels. We didn't get into the water.
