My wife and I have just returned from a last-minute all-inclusive at the Tropikist Beach. Despite an excellent beachfront location, a generally good level of facilities, and a number of charming and obliging staff, it is quite one of the worst maintained and managed hotels it has ever been our misfortune to stay at. Evidence of a crude penny-pinching approach is overwhelming, from the dilapidated state of the rooms, the wretched plumbing (we reported our bath tap as not functioning on Day 2 and I dare say it still is'nt!), the poor choice and standard of food, the laughably poor level of service in restaurant and bar, to the column of ants that adopted the bathroom wall as a a dual carriageway! Management was not remotely 'hands-on', elicited not the slightest interest in its customers' well-being (or otherwise), and appeared solely motivated by considerations of the minimum expense and standards it could get away with. As my wife shrewdly observed, 'Not all the sharks in the Caribbean are to be found in the sea!'. If you don't want to be ripped off and picked clean, do not go there. This is a management that does not deserve to be in business.
