Dec 20, 2024Saved our trip! Wonderful Resort!
We stayed 2 days at another nearby hotel which was nice. We happened to walk over to the ESJ one evening and were impressed by the bar and evening life and the overall resort. After leaving the other hotel we ventured off to a pre reserved Airbnb which end up being a total mess. We came straight back to this resort and booked 4 nights. The best thing we could have ever done. The staff to check us in were very accommodating and helped us relax. The rates were cheaper for so much more, and cleaner and nicer. The bartenders help us pick nice drinks. We stayed in an ultra nice villa and enjoyed easy beach access. All the staff in closing security greet you as guest with a smile. I highly rate this resort as it has multiple pools a gym, a few restaurants, and more. Wonderful resort, probably the best in the area.

A wonderful experience
A wonderful experience! We loved everything about this hotel. The service was excellent and the restaurant cuisine was world class. The Cana restaurant was our favorite and the waiters Alex and Alberto were awesome! We loved the pool and beach areas with the DJ. We also loved the Meat Market restaurant- food and service were excellent. We loved the nightclub and nightly entertainment in the lobby. Housekeeping was great and we loved the fragrance inside the hotel and our room after cleaning. We are used to high end hotels and first class travel and we would definitely stay here again.

Better Than Anticipated
Reading recent negative reviews made me question our choice to stay here. Thankfully, it turned out much better than expected. The hotel is a quick ride from the airport, and though we arrived midday, our room was ready. We found everything to be clean and well kept, but not perfect. I didn't love that the bathroom door was a sliding one, and the bottom of the shower door had a wide gap, allowing water to leak out. But what I did love was the hospitality. The staff at the pools and especially the staff at the beach were friendly and accommodating. Sunscreen, bug spray and towels are free and available to hotel guests. While not located in a touristy area, there is a Foxwoods casino inside the hotel and plenty of restaurants within walking distance. We found two that we really liked and ate there multiple times. As for a party scene, there wasn't much of one, except for the few nights when the hotel welcomed guests on a company retreat. I imagine it might be different during the summer months. Overall, I'm happy to say we enjoyed our stay.

Loved it!
We truly had a great stay here and definitely want to come back. We are not afraid to leave negative reviews when deserving but it was really awesome. Stayed on the 9th floor so there was no noise issue. The pool area is fantastic and the staff is among the nicest we have ever encountered. The hotel entrance area is stunning and we found the dining options quite OK. The only annoying issue was that the concierge recommended a restaurant (Euphoria) that was just a bad overpriced tourist trap and when we told them afterwards they were quite nonchalant about it. But we still give it 5 stars and plan to be back.
