Crusoe's Retreat

Right on the waterfront, cabins were realy nice, reef great for snorkeling, staff were great!

Paved road be nice 3.5 kms off road to get there…

É una Bella struttura immersa nella natura. Ha un potenziale ma è anche sfruttato male. Giardino Bellissimo. I buca da 19 al 25 sono vecchi e spartani. Le Villas sono molto belle ma serve qualche attenzione ai dettagli tipo la muffa nel soffitto della doccia.

1º La colazione NON è continentale se non ci sono uova o alternativa salata. 4 vassoi di frutta, 2 vassoi di pane per toast, un solo gusto di marmellata (albicocca per 8gg) … Non fanno una colazione continentale. Inoltre mai vista una struttura ricettiva senza l’acqua sul buffet colazione. 2ºUna bottiglia d’acqua da 1,5L a 10$Fj dice tutto. Tutto molto caro sfruttando il totale isolamento. 4km di sterrato dalla strada principale. Senza auto si è costretti a pagare tutto molto caro ed amaro. Un tour quad di 2,5hrs 347$Fj … manco ad Aruba é così caro!!! Tutte queste osservazioni hanno abbassato di molto i voti alla struttura che è “accogliente” solo per i sorrisi del personale locale.

The grounds are nice, the snorkelling off the beach is fantastic and the village next door is incredible but that’s the end of the good points

From the bed to the food they give you, we got such a sense the owners have cut every single corner they can to reduce their costs to make a profit and unfortunately this is at their guests expense. It was so bad that after booking for a week we decided to move to another resort after just 3 night, when I explained why we were leaving early they couldn’t care less and didn’t offer compensation.

The food was very delicious, with different options to eat each night. The staff were also very friendly, encouraging everyone to get to know each other. The snorkeling was also really nice as the resort is located where many tropical fish are.

The resort was 3km off the main road, so even if you wanted to take a bus, you have to first take a taxi or you're forced to hike a gravel track that goes up and around mountains with your luggage. For the activities, staff would frequently forget what was meant to be on and when, so we ended up missing out on some activities as they were unprepared for the schedule that they set for the day. The meal prices also increased by a few dollars every day that we were there, making our stay increasingly expensive, with the free breakfast options being extremely limited. We also found that the rooms were unclean, with marks on the cabinets and stains on the sheets, the floors were also very dirty. There were also gaps in our roof allowing bugs and geckos in, meaning I left with about 13 mosquito bites.

Breakfast was awesome lovely selection of fruits

everything was perfect

Breakfast was great 👍 very friendly staff.

Location

The beds and pillows were not cleaned or serviced during my stay

The snorkeling

Slow wifi, having to wait for 15 min for the payment to process because the wifi was slow and the rude attitude of the cashier [Indofijian female].
