Although this five-star resort's staff still receive many positive reviews, some returning guests feel that the team aren't as friendly as they once were. A few travellers have mentioned that recently the staff banter can seem forced, with employees reluctant to converse and a little curt at times.
Most reviewers don't mind the slowed-down island pace at this exotic resort, but a few travellers find staff a little laid-back for their liking. Some cocktail hunters have their dreams dashed by day-dreamy bar staff missing-in-action at opening times. Other guests encounter a piano bar without a pianist.
Reviewers noted the murky, algae-filled Carp pond as an example of some of the grounds and buildings needing a bit of love and care. Some guests who stayed in suites with private pool would have liked it cleaned more regularly to meet the impeccable standards maintained elsewhere.
