Just spent a week there. Nice place, 20 years ago. From what I can tell, the pics on their website are just as old too. If you want seclusion, deteriorating facilities, etc., then this is the place to stay. We were really disappointed and felt we were scammed, but not sure by who. Apple Vacations offered the package and it seems CT & L endorses them, go figure. All I can figure is that CT & L does not research their "Travel Specials", which lost all credibility with me.
GRA said they are "renovating", more like closing down. The Andes Bar is not open, neither is Jimmy's Beach Bar & Grille. The picture of the Lagoon Cafe on their website is actually the pool facility eatery, it too is closed for renovations. Their website looks great but does not do the place "justice". After you are tired of eating lunch and breakfast at the restaurant/cafe that IS still operating, your only real choice is a $30 (5 mile) round-trip cab ride to Hemingway's in town, where you will drop an easy $50+. Look for someplace on the south end of the island, or wait for a few years until they are finished renovating.
