Frommer's Review
If you like sprawling megaresorts where everything's paid in advance and you live in a virtual walled compound with lots of organized activities, this might be for you. The older wings are low-rise, comfortable and serviceable affairs, costing a bit less than accommodations in the newer wings, which are grandly Mediterranean in their aura. Public areas have trompe-l'oeil ceilings, tilework, and wrought iron and masonry details. In the center of the newer section is one of the largest pools in the eastern Caribbean, whose free-form, serpentine edges encase an "island" with an oversized gazebo. If you opt for a holiday here, you'll find lots to do and a wide variety of comfortable accommodations in different price ranges.
Facilities:
9 restaurants; 6 bars; 7 outdoor pools; 6 whirlpools; 2 tennis courts; fitness center; full-service spa; watersports; laundry service; rooms for those w/limited mobility

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
