Dutch Antilles Golf Vacations

(+): Excellent staff; clean scented rooms; clean grounds; very good breakfast buffet; efficient and helpful staff in maintenance and at front desk. I asked for a tour of the property, so i can recommend the property, and i got a very nice tour. (-): The property is ok. I have been in two rooms and they were scented with a different fragrance in each room. I didn't reserve a fragrant room. Its not healthy for me to sleep 8 hrs inhaling anything other than oxygen. In about 15 minutes my nose become desensitized to the fragrance and only when you go outside and return do you realize that the scent is still there. This olfactory fatigue is a no no for me, not to mention that when i got home, my clothes was infused with that fragrance. .. I tried the restaurant's bar and ordered 'jerk chicken bowl' and 'grilled seabass'. I got a tea cup size of rice and twelve popcorn size pieces of plain chicken...not jerk chicken. The price point is 31.50 naf. The grilled sea bass dish was a tea cup of rice, tea cup of greens, and small pieces of a white fish covered with a white sauce. The fish wasn't grilled. The price point 42 naf. See image of receipt above. The price points for both items didn't match the portions, quality or taste. This is unacceptable. The hotel needs more labeling on the buildings or the cobblestone. I was lost three times finding my way back to block 7...and i wasn't the only one. Its an excellent place, for folks 25 to 45 years old..its an active space, IMHO.

the property does has great location. The kitchenette is not equipped well to accommodate needs of the guest. there are two plates, two cups etc. very limited dishes. I requested to add shampoo to the dispencer and it was not done, they told the other guest to buy it yourself. they told me it's not a hotel, its a time share which means to me the owner who is renting does not care. overall if you don't care of the service its ok.

Food variety could’ve been better it was the same options every single day. Annoying cat that was around everyday during lunch time don’t want a cat around while I’m eating. Hot water was not hot at all during my stay. Didn’t get my welcome bag until the day i left after asking multiple times. Paid for 80 min massage for my wife didn’t get our full 80 mins at all bar tenders was great. They cleaned our room n refreshed our towels 3 times a day.

Nice hotel. Stayed for 4 nights. Good customer service. Dinner at Blue was good. Quality and diversity of breakfast foods was very good. Gym is well equipped but also highly subscribed. Not enough room for floor exercise. Swim beach is calm due to the use of harbor rocks. All the best beaches are 45 to 60 minute drive. But, I didn’t see any hotels in that area that would rival the Avila. Moreover, there are very nice restaurants and bars in walking distance from the Avila. If you like natural beauty, the national park on the ocean is worth a visit.

Amenities: there were no small hand towels. I’ve stayed in multiple hotels throughout the world and never have I stayed at a hotel with no hand towels. There should be hand towels because people use them to shower or wash their face. Room: the room was very cold. Granted, the outside temperature is high but guests should have the ability to change the temp. I’m not sure if my room had a defective AC but I couldn’t change or turn off the AC. Also, there was a weird smell in the room. Not sure what it was. After the house keeper cleaned the room, it smelled nice for a short time but after some time the smell would return. Check in/out: there really wasn’t anyone available to assist with luggage especially the fact that the rooms are upstairs with no elevator.
