Pros: Beautiful scenery, wave pool and poker room Cons: Location, price and attitude
Mandalay Bay is a fine hotel with some wonderful restaurants and some beautiful scenery. However, something about my visits have left me feeling somewhat “cold.” I don’t know if it was the cramped elevator areas or the poor service (som ...

Pros: Upscale, yet comfortable and not stuffy; top-notch nightlife and dining; huge array of gambling options Cons: At the far end of the strip, it's not right in the thick of things; windows aren't sealed well, on windy nights it sounds like you're on one of McCarren's runways; strongly scented cleaning products used by housekeeping staff have the potential to trigger
Mandalay Bay is named after a fictional tropical resort, and their schtick is that they combine the best parts of each tropical culture, from Bali to Jamaica.
As a newer casino (they opened in 1998), it’s a spanky-clean and shiny...

Pros: Beautiful hotel, great service, lots of wonderful shopping, foods, and a cool casino. Cons: Poor location at end of strip means extra walking.
My husband was called away to Las Vegas for a business convention (poor guy) and he was nice enough to ask me to come along. The weekend that we visited was March 14th-19th, 2003, St. Patrick's Day weekend! Neither of us had ever been to Vegas before, so...

Pros: Best overall Hotel and now with a new all-suite tower! Cons: gaming area isn't too much fun and you don't win.
It's true that the location of Mandalay Bay is not in the middle of teh strip. Yes, it is also true that it's expensive to get a room there. Also true that the slots are tight and the restaurants are expensive. So, why do I still think it's the best ...
Pros: Smells so nice, big rooms, excellent atmosphere Cons: End of Strip, Price
I recently spent 3 wonderful nights in Mandalay Bay as a part of an extended vacation in the Southwest. I have to say, Vegas was the best part of this trip and the hotel itself was excellent.
Pros: Superb Quality, Food, and entertainment from one of the Best on the strip. Cons: Reservations dept should have a price for Strip Side view room.
I have been to Las Vegas a number of times. 14 to be exact. I have stayed in the Aladdin (old and new), Paris, Tropicana, The Luxor, The Excalibur, Stratosphere, The Monte Carlo, and now the Mandalay Bay. The best way I can describe it, is to compare it ...

Pros: THEhotel- near flawless, a wonderful treat. Amazing rooms, great spas, great restaurants Cons: Bad wedding experience at The Chapel
The ratings I've provided for this post are for THEHotel, were I stayed for my honemoon. However, if you're considering getting married at Mandalay, you may want to give this a read. Sadly I have a good deal of criticism for The Chapel at Mandalay Bay. I ...
Pros: It's an amazing place Cons: Staffing shortage
Due to my companies convention in Las Vegas, Nevada I had the opportunity to stay at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, and as any good epinioner would I decided to review the hotel. The Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino over looks 11 acres of man-made...
Pros: Quality, room size, service, pool and spa, cost of food Cons: casino, casino staff
I make at least one trip a year to 'Vegas, and I usually stay at the Hard Rock for lots of different reasons. Most of all is that while I understand the accommodations aren't the nicest, it is the most fun place to stay.
Pros: NICE ROOMS. GREAT NIGHTCLUBS. Cons: POOR RETURNS ON SLOT MACHINES AND GAMING TABLES

Pros: Plenty of elbow room! Cons: None that I could see!
Don’t let the name fool you, this is a great hotel and casino. We were dog tired the second night we finally made it down to this casino, but it was well worth it.
The casino is very well laid out and there is plenty of space to walk around,...
Pros: Spacious, well-lit casino and hotel Cons: location is remote, lighting could be distracting
Mandalay Bay is a new resort on the Southern side of the Strip. In strolling through the grounds and the casino (I never stayed there) I found it to be largely aimed at my younger generation.
Pros: Outstanding design and great art work Cons: May be hard to get a valet parking space
Review Topic: Sights & Attractions
Mandalay Bay is eye candy for casino players! It is an exquisite property that begs high marks for its great design. It is currently at the end of the strip in Vegas and I must say that it...
Pros: Classy, comfortable, and great layout Cons: Beach and tide pool only open during the summer months
Are you sick and tired of all those Los Vegas hotels with cheesy themes? Circus, pirates, kings, or a miniature of some famous landmark. Mandalay Bay is the only Los Vegas hotel that shows true class. When you step inside, instead of being bombarded by...
One of the biggest attractions to the Mandalay Bay Hotel is the beaches by the pools. Surrounded by the tall hotel, these beaches are private, secluded and beautiful.
The hotel is very big with two towers. It has a large lobby, but a surprisingly...
Pros: Ambiance, value, variety Cons: Gaming at night
Mandalay Bay opened in March of 1999. We vacationed there in May and had such a wonderful time we decided to get married there in November 1999. From the time you pull up to the valet to the time you get to your room, you feel welcome and at home. The...
Pros: as relaxed as you can get in Vegas Cons: pricey, but what do you expect in Vegas?
My wife and I decided to take a quick break from the hectic work life for the hectic casino life. We recently stayed in Vegas for about a week with some friends and family and had the good fortune of staying at Mandalay Bay. I was quite pleased with my...
Pros: smoke free, great service Cons: they don't offer cheaper rates in off-peak season like other casinos
On my last trip to Vegas a few months back, my friend and I decided to check out Mandalay Bay. Actually, the only reason we wanted to go there was so we could ride on the tram that connects Luxor, Excalibur and Mandalay Bay. We were staying at Luxor but...
Pros: Big Pools, Big Rooms, Great Smell, Cons: Too Far from other Hotels,
My girlfriend and I stayed at this new copper colored beauty in July of 99'. I loved almost everything about it.
To begin with we received a wonderful deal from a travel agent on a 4-night stay during the week of July 4th. We paid less than 600...
I went to Mandalay Bay in May of '99. It added to a great Vegas vacation.
First of all, the decor is very tropical. No detail is overlooked--there are parrots, fish and palm trees. The rooms are huge and include his-and-hers closets, a giant...
Pros: Water theme park Cons: Slots aren't the loosest in Vegas
Mandalay Bay is the perfect luxury family vacation. There is simply so much to do at this hotel, you never have to leave! We particularly enjoyed Mandalay Bay’s water theme park like setting. They have a lazy river that moves a long very fast. If...
Pros: beautiful hotel Cons: looks can be deceiving
This was my first time staying at this resort. I was overwhelmed by it's beauty as I walked through the front doors. As we approached the front desk to register in, I was quickly disappointed. There behind the counter sat three employees, one was...
Pros: Mandalay Beach and Spa Cons: Rooms, Check in Time, No real conveniences
With my next trip planned to Vegas for October 2000, my motto will be Mandalay Bay, no way !! Upon arrival, I waited at least one hour to check in, with lines never ending. Keep one thing in mind, there were at least 10 lines that were clearly marked...
Pros: Gorgeous place and nice staff Cons: Confusing maze of a casino - get me back to my room, quick
I love the beauty, but they mess with your head in the casino. Do you like mazes, then you'd love this casino. It must have been intentionally planned to confuse you on the casino floor. I am a gambler - I love it - I am not a looker and a walker and...
Pros: Location, casino design, restaurants, pool Cons: Located at far south end of strip
Old World Vegas Look out! A new standard has been set!
Believe it or not the corporate gaming gurus who brought you the likes of Circus Circus are the creators of the huge golden towers, known as Mandalay Bay! Located at the south end...
We just returned from Mandalay and we're glad to be home. Mandalay has just one redeeming feature, it's pool. Other than that, it's a Motel 6 in a golden cloak. The public areas are very nice. The rooms are no where near what they should be for a...
Pros: People-watching Cons: Snobbish in the extreme
Who are “they”? Why the beautiful people of course. If you’re not one of them or the type of person who supports the distinction between us and them then don’t support the Mandalay Bay Hotel. By support I mean eat, gamble or spend any of your hard earned...
Pros: Beautiful and sexy- a Vegas bombshell Cons: Shrieking parrots
Mandalay Bay graces the far end of the Strip, near where the sunset pierces the eyes of countless sweat-stained tourists muttering the same mantra of "Dry heat, it's a dry heat..."
Luckily for them, the Mandalay Bay is a great place to...
Pros: The resort and hotel is very beautiful. Cons: Poor management, disorganized and confusing, and rude customer service.
My husband was booked at this resort for a convention this last weekend. I wanted to go along, but since he would be working most of the time, I invited my mother to go with us. We all agreed that it was definitely one of the most beautiful resorts on...
Pros: Beautiful Cons: Just opened, on the expensive side
I stayed at Mandalay Bay last summer, and although it was nice, I probably wouldn't want to stay there again. The actual architecture of the establishment was amazing. If you go to Vegas, you have to see it. The beach in the back, in the middle of the...
Pros: Beautiful scenery, great dining Cons: Las Vegas gets hot in the summer
Review Topic: Restaurants
I am a native Las Vegan, and this hotel has something to offer everyone. If you want a buffet-style meal, the buffet here will keep you fed and happy at an unbelievable price. If you want exotic, try...
The Mandalay Bay is, in my opinion, the second best hotel/casino in Las Vegas (just behind the Bellagio). I did not expect the Mandalay Bay to be that nice when I arrived there. However, I was very pleasantly surprised.
Pros: Pool, dining Cons: Location, mediocre service, crowded pool area
I was really looking forward to staying at Mandalay Bay, but I was somewhat disappointed. The hotel lobby an casino are beautiful. The theme is tropical and the place has a very lush, opulent feel. The air is even scented--it smells like jasmine and...
Pros: aquarium is nice
Cons: Disgusting no service or amenities
Where can I start. With the poor customer service, the dirty and neglected rooms with the crumbling furniture or the overcrowded, no shade available pool areas. I booked this hotel six weeks in advance for myself and my son and grandchildren. It was to ...
Pros: beautiful pools, great facial, good locker space, friendly staff Cons: brochure package service booked cancelled, loud 'quiet' room, lounge chairs 'reserved', reaction or infection
Spent a day at the Mandalay Spa in March 2006. I had booked one of the weekday spa packages "Sensory Journey" for $350 which was supposed to include 25 minute aroma wrap w/peppermint scalp treatment, 50 minute aromatherapy message, 50 minute ...

My first stay at THEhotel was an excellent one. I booked in October, and while the rates were high, I was willing to pay them based on what I had heard; nevertheless, a quick check of the website about a month before my stay indicated that rates had ...
Pros: POOLS !!! POOLS !!!! POOLS !!!! Cons: Small stuff......
Just returned from a surprise trip to Las Vegas and stayed at Mandalay Bay. By far exactly what everyone needs unless you are there uniquely to gamble & stay indoors ( which a lot of people are).As Mandalay Bay has the most awesome pools..I can honestly ...
Pros: The Beach & The Spa Cons: No quick and healthy food. The lack of towel racks!Too far down on strip
So I have stayed at the MGM, and wanted to try the Mandaly. Fast forward to the day of arrival. The lobby was supposed to have these parrots that would talk in gazebo type cages...no parrots, and didn't see them once for the 3 days I was there. I don't...
Pros: Beds are very comfortable. Spacious Suite. Great bathroom Cons: Bath could use Jets, Hotel not yet finished
I had the opportunity to stay at this hotel the first night it was open. This hotel was quite astonishing. It’s like no other. Very modern, very unique. The reason it was modern is because it is not like any Hotel Room. It is more like your ...
Pros: Great service, clean room, beautiful decor, awesome bathroom, great pool. Cons: location
Our 3 night stay at Mandalay Bay was wonderful! The rooms were clean and nice. It is one of the newer hotels on the strip so there was almost no wear and tear. The bathroom I would have to say is one of the nicest ones I have seen in the many hotels I ...
Pros: Excellent rooms, sports book, and entertainment. Cons: Location.
MANDALAY BAY (Category: Elite / Overall rating: B-) LOCATION: (Rating C-) Located at the far south end of the strip, the Mandalay Bay is “somewhat” isolated. However, there is a (free) tram system that connects it with its ...
Stayed at the hotel mainly to take the kids to the wave pool and lazy river. With gas prices being out of control, we decided to have a "staycation." We have stayed here before, but have not been impressed with the quality of the rooms. This time we ...
Pros: Wonderful view, large bathroom, huge flatscreen TV Cons: Slow elevators, crowded pool
We came to Vegas for a long week at the beginning of March 2008. I found a great price for the 550 sq foot room + nonstop air from Baltimore on USAirways.com. They beat every single one of my usual travel Web sites (note: this was through their vacations ...
Pros: Incredible comfort and variety Cons: The Southernmost end of the Strip
Entering the Mandalay Bay lobby, you are struck by several things, There are fish tanks and bird cages, plenty of seating, the ceilings are high, and the decor tropical, and best of all, you don't have to enter through the casino! When traveling with...
Pros: None Cons: Bad service, poor rooms, rip-off pool area, dirty.
Where can I start. With the poor customer service, the dirty and neglected rooms with the crumbling furniture or the overcrowded, no shade available pool areas. I booked this hotel six weeks in advance for myself and my son and grandchildren. It was to ...
Pros: The Architecture and fine details are very impressive. The rooms are spacious with nice bathrooms. Cons: Hotel security awful, wife got robbed inside the casino. Hotel located next Airport. Cold pools.
My Family and I spent four nights at the Mandalay Bay Hotel in April 2003. The Hotel is an impressive piece of fine architecture. The rooms are large and comfortable with well designed bathrooms. The many pools and grounds are excellent too. The...
Pros: Atmosphere,amenities Cons: smoky rooms, expensive room service
My sister and I went to the Mandalay Bay for the weekend of Sun March 17th-19th. We got a good rate from the Mandalay Bay internet site for $79.00 a night. We also booked for Monday a day at the spa.
Pros: Separate entrance, clean contemporary style, very courteous staff, awesome spa (according to my wife)! Cons: the spa was a little on the expensive side but well worth it.
My wife and I just got back from a 4 day stay at THEhotel at Mandalay Bay. Wow, what a sanctuary away from the constant ding, ding, ding of the casino! We've stayed at some pretty decent hotels such as the Princeville in Kauai and the Mandarin Oriental ...
Pros: Lovely Pool, Great Bars Cons: Poor Service, Worse Attitude
My girlfriend and I stayed at Mandalay Bay in April of 2000 for five nights in one of their standard rooms. The hotel is beautiful with a lot of great amenities; however, we were extremely disappointed in the level of service and, because of that, we...
I stayed at Mandalay Bay last weekend. It was a good experience as I won $300 playing blackjack there. Mandalay Bay has a lot to offer, and it should really be considered for your next stay in Las vegas.
Pros: CUSTOMER SERVICE, FOOD, ENTERTAINMENT Cons: LOCATION (end of the strip)
Mandalay Bay was a lifesaver to my wife and I. We had gone to Las Vegas to be married and a MAJOR hotel, which shall remain nameless, lost our reservations. We called around and found a room at Mandalay Bay. Upon arrival there we related to the desk...
Pros: Not very big, so it won't take all day Cons: If your looking for something like Sea World, this isn't it.
My mom was here visiting and I thought Shark Reef would be fun to visit. I was right, it was fun. It's not very big. but that's ok. It costs $12.95 for non-resdents, $9.95 for resdents, and $6.95 for kids.
When my wife left her job the company decided to treat us to a 3 day trip to Las Vegas as a farewell gift. It was the first time we went to Vegas and got to stay in one of the nice big hotels. Well I refuse to go back to Vegas unless I can stay there...
Pros: Classy; understated. Friendly, helpful staff. Great restaurants. On the Strip, but away from the noise. Cons: Pricey. "Beach" area is way too small. Receiving faxes require a long walk.
I took my family to Mandalay Bay during the last week of August, 1999 and highly recommend it. Unlike 95% of the hotels on the Strip (*see my epinion on our 7/4/01 stay at The Mirage Hotel/Casino), this hotel is not a tacky "theme park" or, on the other...
Pros: nice atmosphere Cons: on the expensive side, overpriced "side shows"
Mandalay Bay was the nicest casino I saw during my recent visit to Las Vegas. It stands out as having a distinctly classier feel than anything else on the Strip. Hardcore gamblers should avoid it, however, because the odds on the machines are not...
Pros: Huge rooms, wave pool, beautiful property! Cons: Price, located at the end of the strip
The rooms are what stands out most at this property! They are much larger than most Las Vegas hotel rooms. The bathrooms feature a large soaking tub and a separate shower. You better not be over-weight though if you are hoping to use the toilet! The...
Pros: pool Cons: not what a luxury resort should be
Went to Mandalay Bay during the first week of May in 2000 and had a pretty mediocre experience. When we pulled up in our rental car to check in there were no bellmen so we had to carry our bags all through the casino.
Pros: 11 pools, nice hotel, large casino, nice rooms, great food Cons: expensive
Mandalay Bay brings fun and elegance to the next level, with 11 different pools, a huge casino, and one heck of a fancy hotel inside. There are so many different pools outside, that it could a long time to swim in all of them. The biggest pool of all...
Pros: Beach/Pool area are the best around Cons: Atmosphere a little on the snobby side
My husband and I stayed at M.B. in October and were somewhat disappointed.
Yes the hotel/casino were beautiful but the building was somewhat disorganized.

2. restaurants were somewhat...
Pros: The tropical atmosphere Cons: Never had luck on their slots

Pros: Elegance in design Cons: Table limits to high
Mandalay Bay , the crown jewel of the hotel casinos on the strip, both in design and elegance, take the time to look at the design of this building and visit the shops, well worth your time, the table limits are a bit high, the slots are like all the...
Pros: best pools in Vegas, nice view Cons: not perfect website, they charge for each person over two in a room
I was planning my first ever trip to Vegas in Summer 2001. I accidentally saw the Mandalay Bay hotel on the Travel Channel and after watching its pool facilities i decided to go for it. It is not the cheapest nor the most expensive hotel in LV, I paid...
Pros: Tropical Paradise Surroundings Cons: Cold as their marble interior
Mandalay Bay is sadly turning into a Deserted Island Paradise. In March 99, Wow... Grand Opening, fantastic. October'99 Very Nice and settling in to their own. Feb '00. Lost its touch. :) Rooms and Surrounding are like being in a palace in Tahiti....
Pros: Aureole, lack of cig smoke Cons: Rude staff, early pool hours, lack of guest parking, obnoxious young party-seeking guests
If you are into long lines, young 20-somethings being loud and obnoxious AND rude staff, then THIS is the hotel for you! My girlfriend and I (both early 30's) were in town for a convention and were staying at the Treasure Island and having a wonderful ...
Pros: everything about mandalay is awesome!!! Cons: could use a bigger gym, but the spa is still incredible
just came back from spending four days at mandalay and im still

Pros: next to cool hotels Cons: rude staff, overrun, wasted college punks
Me and my daughter who was 10 when we went and our close family friends took a vacation to vegas. The hotel is filled with wasted college punks. We were going to the pool and here come these 2 girls. They were reading a poster for auriol or that ...
Pros: Beach and pools are amazing, lots to do, tram to casinos is close Cons: The expensive rates, overcrowded with people at the beach area, few low end casino tables
We stayed at Mandalay Bay in the summer and had an incredible time. There were four of us and we don't have a single complaint. It is a very impressive hotel, starting from when you first enter the lobby. The room was beautiful. We stayed in one of ...
Pros: Location, Wonderful Staff, Great Room Specials Cons: The Guests (What a snooty bunch!)
A fantasy come true. Lovely rooms, fantastic pool and world class service from the employees. It's all good! You can find extra deep discounts if you keep an eye on their web site. Sign up to get e-mail alerts on room specials. I spent 4 days and 3...
Pros: The hotel is nice looking, the pool area looks great Cons: FOOD POISONING
Just as a side note-- I did not stay at the Mandalay Bay, I stayed next door at The Luxor, which for the difference in money is no worse than staying at the Mandalay Bay (even better because at least their restaurants won't poison you).
Pros: It is a very beautiful building and the service is great. Cons: It is pretty expensive.
The Mandalay Bay will probably be the first hotel you will see as you come down Las Vegas Boulevard from the airport. And just the sight of this magnificent building should welcome you to the wealth and galore of Las Vegas. This magnificent building, ...
Pros: Beautiful hotel and pool area. We enjoyed the lazy river and tram. Cons: Bad attitudes, poor service, safety concerns.
This is part of a letter I sent to the hotel manager shortly after our stay there. I never received a letter of apology, a phone call, nothing. Bad form, bad form. Dear Sir, We just returned from our trip to Las Vegas where we stayed at the ...
Pros: Pool area, design Cons: Limits, tough to navigate, location
Yes, the MB pool area is awesome. Yes the rooms are spectacular. Yes, the people are friendly. However, there are a few negatives to this fine resort. First, the location. It is the southern-most casino on the strip. There is a tram that takes you...
Pros: Everything!!! Cons: You may not want to go home ever!!
I have been to Las Vegas three times, staying the first two at Mandalay and the past time at MGM. I will never make that mistake again. Mandalay is the Jewel of the strip. It was a million times cleaner and didn't smell. I have taken advantage of all the...
Pros: Rooms are nice and clean Cons: Pool area is overrated!!!
This hotel is very nice, clean and most of the employees are friendly. The rates are expensive compared to other hotels. The pool and beach area are overrated!! When you pay up to $250/night for a room, plus you have to pay extra for your children in...
Pros: Nice, New, A lot for the money Cons: Pool area closes at 4PM
I chose to stay at the Mandalay Bay because of the Pool. I was in Vegas on business. I thought that it would just be great to get some R & R next to the pool after my work meetings. I was mistaken. The pool area closes at 4PM. Not just the pool, but...
Mandalay Bay is a beautiful hotel and casino, but the service disapointed me. I had a confirm reservation over the internet, and when I got there, they had over-booked. They then sent me over to the Luxor (they're sister hotels). The Luxor was not...
Pros: Upscale Cons: Lobby like an airport terminal
Having returned from a recent visit to Las Vegas, I would like to share my thoughts on the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino where I stayed. First and foremost, the lobby of this place felt like the concourse of a major international airport. However, the...
Pros: luxury, food,Chicago Musical Cons: To far away from action, poor elevator service
While this hotel is luxurious,it lacks in many respects ,located the end of the strip you will find yourself to far away from the main action which occurs more at the center. The clubs at Mandalay are gorgeous but at 51 years old I was way out of place...
Mandalay Bay is the next best thing to a tropical vacation. The surf pool was great. The casino is tastefully done and the noise level wasn't too bad. The free entertainment at the House of Blues was awesome. The buffets weren't the cheapest but the...
Pros: The five pools and the casino Cons: Greatly understaffed
Last September, me and 6 of my girlfriends spent a weekend in Vegas. It was our first time there and did not know what to expect. When checking in to Mandalay Bay, we had to wait 45 minutes in line. Then had to wait an additional 6 hours to get into a...

Pros: Rooms are spacious , clean and comfortable Cons: Smell of cigarette smoke is everywhere in Vegas! Ughh!
Pool-too far ,small ,crowded
Just returned from a week at The Hotel.
Rooms: Beautiful and comfortable.
Food : Plenty of Choices, all very overpriced; even compared to New York prices, where we come from. ( for example: $47 for sushi/sashimi combo., or $15 for a sangria!)
Pool: Shared with Mandalay Bay resort. Very long walk! Too small to accommodate both hotels. Good luck finding a chair after 9:00am. The Hotel should have its' own pool.
Parking: Plenty. Good Valet service.
Mandalay Bay- A great destination and hotel by avalonandl ,Jan 22 '08
Pros: Clean, great service, great choice of food at restaurants. Well appointed, spa , beach, bars. Cons: Location-south end of strip. No coffeemakers in room, expensive.
I have stayed here twice for the SEMA convention and love this place. Cheap? NO, but seems to be well worth it. Great restaurants, Aureole, Fleur de Lys, others. Clean, not trashy like many others. I stay in the suite with my wife both times and loved it. The suite was modern but not well lighted, specifically dim around the conference table. In room Jacuzzi is great after walking for hours at the SEMA show. Hotel is clean and has good service. No coffeemakers in the rooms, come on room service for everything? But you can get good wine at the gift shop. I do not like Raffles, the restaurant that is open after 11 pm. They need to upgrade that place. The overall feel is of an upscale hotel. It is not cheap but I like the place.
I recently went back to Mandalay Bay. I had not been there for 6 years. I found it amazing and beautiful on my first visit. On my recent visit, the wear and tear of the past 6 years were evident. I brought my mother on this trip and had went on and on how nice Mandalay Bay was. I was very disappointed that she did not get to see the property as it was 6 years earlier. The bathroom was still nice,but the hotel room was worn and the waterpark was dirty.
Pros: rooms, service, pools, restaurants, location Cons: not cheap
Staying at THE hotel at Mandalay Bay is an absolute ecstasy of class and refinement. From the perfectly appointed rooms to the highest caliber staff, this place has its mackin' crackin'.
The rooms are so nice in fact that we were inclined to ask staff about some of the items like the beds and linens only to find out that we couldn't afford them. The bathrooms are ornate with beautiful fixtures and expansive high-quality marble. The three TVs are excellent (one flat LCD in the bathroom.) The design elements are both current and classic with many earth tones.
This is the ideal spot for a romantic getaway. For us, it was extravagant to stay here but we didn't regret it. Our modest budget inclined us to stay here and play elsewhere.
Come during the week and save.
Pros: Good restaurants Cons: Just about everything else
We had heard so many things about this hotel and man were we disappointed. Our first room had dirty linen on the bed. Our next room was disgusting! Stained rugs, broken curtains that wouldn't close properly and frayed rugs. The bed was very uncomfortable. The pools are a joke. Loaded with noisy kids, overcrowded. Many chaise lounges were broken. The pool area was filthy! Garbage and wet towels everywhere! The staff was also very unfriendly. If you want luxury and service then stay somewhere else!
Pros: Beach/pool; new beautiful suites at The Hotel (part of Mandeley Bay); price
Cons: grumpy staff - indifferent to the guest
I'm a frequent guest of this hotel and after this last trip, I don't think I'll be back. We've always enjoyed our stay in the past, and the facilities are wonderful, however, out of the 50 or so staff members we encountered during the stay, only two made us feel welcomed. When we asked for a survey/comment card, the front desk replied "sorry, we are out of them". I hope they get better, because we'll miss the beach!
