Amazing staff

Review of The Reserve
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Jul 18, 2024
The hotel has a great view and top amenities and lovely spacious room but what sets this hotel apart from the rest is the staff. They were by far the friendliest, most helpful and attentive you will find. Didn’t think to mention we would need a car seat but they thought of it and before I noticed we had left something behind they had already messaged me to say I had forgotten it and that they would kindly send it to me.Thanks for a great trip from me and my family!

The Reserve is a top five star hotel that exudes luxury, elegance, style, and unparalleled attention to detail. Every hotel representative is incredible, and we appreciated Diana (concierge), who was so friendly, knowledgeable, polite, and seemed genuinely happy to assist in every possible way. Honestly if you have the opportunity, you must ask for her specifically…she’s incredible and goes above and beyond to make sure your stay unforgettable.

Beatriz was also amazing, as was the gentleman at the Jacaranda pool deck.

We have stayed at some of the best five star hotels in Paris, Greece, Italy, Brazil, and the Caribbean, and this easily rivals them all. In many ways, The Reserve beats out the Four Reasons, Ritz, and Mandarin Oriental properties. We would recommend The Reserve to everyone, but especially couples or experienced travels who are looking for exclusivity, catered services, luxury, elegance, and superb attention to detail. We have literally zero complaints about The Reserve, and can’t recommend this hotel enough.

Last point - we visited Reid’s for afternoon tea, and were so happy we booked The Reserve for our hotel. The comparison isn’t even close. And if you are on the fence about booking at The Savoy, or upgrading to The Reserve, you MUST do the upgrade…it is worth it.

The staff of this hotel are pure chunks of hospitality gold. We had an unforgettable experience in every way. The details of our experience were insane. From the way an ice bucket is delivered to your room untill the packing service of our bags. We’ve also been to the Reid’s but there is no comparison. This is unique. So gratefull to have experienced this.

"We are very pleased with the service received from all the staff, especially the person who attended us wonderfully Alexandre Sousa. I am the owner of a hotel in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and just as I like to offer excellent quality service, I like to receive it as well. I have to say that the hotel, as well as all its components, exceeded our expectations. It was wonderful! Congratulations to you all."
