The location was incredible but the staff was pretty unhelpful and were not proactive. The weather was bad but the staff did not do much to help make the stay easier. There was no follow up when asked about stuff. The staff made you feel as though you were bothering them.

Excellent service, food, resort. experience!

These guys take care of everything. Make sure you book the ocean front with the plunge pool. Not all bugaloos have pools. The hotel pool is gorgeous too and the entire island is a photo op. Gorgeous. Snorkeling is decent. 2 big Nurse sharks and a stingray. Lots of tropical fish. Beach is gorgeous food is great! Definitely plan to return soon.
