Great 9 day trip to S Hotel! Great experience! Good food, drinks, service, location on beach is great with some reefs you can snorkel close to beach. Everyone was friendly, hospitable, and polite. Spectacular views from the rooms. Shout out to the day manager very warm and hospitable, Oriel the pool server keeps the drinks flowing, Joel in the lobby bar. The gal cooking at the grill outside serves up some awesome Jerk Chicken consistently. All around good vibe and great place! We were there for our 30th anniversary and would do it again!
