S Hotel is a class act, from the moment you enter until the time you leave you feel special, special, special. The restaurant we pre-booked for was unfortunately closed for the evening but the management went above and beyond to make up for it. Thank you Humroy Peddie for treating us like “family”. We highly recommend this hotel and will definitely return!

I chose this hotel for it's easy accessibility from the airport and it's boutique style flair. I was not disappointed. I really enjoyed how smooth it was to check in and clean. The friendly staff was icing on the cake. Our room was amazing and perfectly located as an ocean view I was expecting. Additionally we didn't have to leave our room to enjoy the "best" of entertainment. Actually the entertainment here was so much better than the selection of restaurant and drinks. If the opportunity every presents itself I will stay right here again. Thank you S Hotel. We even purchased towels to help makethe memories last.

My wife and I spent 4 nights and 5 days at this hotel. We arrived at 2 PM, even though check-in was at 3 PM, and unfortunately, we didn’t get into our room until 4:35 PM, which was disappointing. The staff didn’t apologize, adding to our frustration. The room was clean and looks just like the website . As a 5-star hotel, I expected a wider variety of food at the buffet, but one night there was only one type of rice available. Given the hotel’s small size, the restaurants were often fully booked. We did dine at a restaurant on the 5th floor one night, but it didn’t meet our expectations. One staff member had a poor attitude, prompting us to leave after our entrée. The poolside experience was average. We had to get our own drinks from the bar each time, and the quality varied depending on who made them. We also encountered a large cockroach outside our room, which was alarming enough for me to take a picture. One evening, my wife was told to change her dress because it was deemed too revealing. This was confusing, as we later saw another guest in a similar outfit enjoying her meal. Excursions are extremely pricey for tourists! The highlights of our trip included the sip and paint event, water aerobics, learning paths and the great DJ at Club S. However, I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to young people, as it felt rather dull.
