It’s funny, my wife and I just returned from there 5 days ago . Stayed at the Westin and loved seven mile beach and the island. Only negative thing we would say is everything is very expensive, although booking our flights and hotel with points saved a TON! We already booked our week for next January and can’t wait to go back. While we were there I said to my wife to bad Hyatt doesn’t have a place here, as we have a ton of Hyatt and UR points. So this is great news.
I’d be thrilled if they open a new Caribbean hotel every year!
