The room is designed with an open plan and not all doors/windows are waterproofed (I dont think). The next morning the place smelt damp and... More

“Wonderful experience”

Everything was wonderful - W living up to its name. They have these little areas around the resort called the 'Sweet Spot', which provide guests with free drinks, ice-cream, coffee, etc. (one fridge for drinks; one freezer for ice-cream - 4 different brands). They had Magnum bars but unfortunately, our party of 12 cleaned them out pretty quickly (3 times/day?!)... More
