What Guests Loved
Based on 57 reviews
Pros +
- We scored with this hotel. It was the best location on that side of the island. The most reasonable. And the most helpful. We knew about the costs incurred from park admission. Other guests in the other hotels were blindsided. Stay here at Big Blu!
Cons -
- Nothing at all. The reefs are a little disappointing but that is true of far too much of the globe.
