Amazing Property!!!!!

Reviewed By FarAway681505

I visited for my Birthday in May and I was very impressed with everything!! The check- in process, the staff, my suite was a 1.bedroom on the Oceans side and it was beautiful. The property was maintained very well and I would see the staff working hard to do so daily!! I must say my stay was extra special because of the manager Tina!!! She was spectacular and so resourceful. Tina is genuinely friendly and caring and always made sure my party and I were always happy. I recommend this hotel for sure. I will be back this year!!!

A Little Piece of Paradise!

Reviewed By Jspecs79

Don’t think twice, JUST GO! I coordinated a trip for 20 people which we all know how difficult that can be and Sabrina in reservations was just amazing! She was always available and helped me coordinate everything over the past few months, I can’t thank her enough and she is one of the kindest people you will ever meet. The ENTIRE staff at The Morgan was amazing, from the second we arrived at the airport, we had a shuttle service waiting for us, quick and easy check in and the hotel is just beautiful. Not having a beach onsite was not an issue at all. Maho beach is a 2 minute walk, Mullet Bay Beach is about a 15 minute walk or 5 minute car/cab ride and we went to Grand Case which was really nice and easy to get to as well. Just ask for Alpha, one of the nicest guys you will meet and will take anywhere you would like to go. The rooms were spotless and had nice terraces with amazing views, the pool is beautiful, there is a hot tub, comfy lounge chairs, the list goes on. I saw in a different review that some people decided not to eat at the hotel because they heard bad things about the food, we did not have one complaint. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were excellent and the menu has a nice variety of options. Definitely the best hotel staff I’ve ever encountered, Ravi, Asha, Ernell and of course Sabrina. I can’t remember everyone’s name but it doesn’t matter because everyone at The Morgan treats you like family with a smile on their face and couldn't be more accommodating. I met the owner as well and he was very kind. Thank you for the hospitality, we will definitely be back! ?

The front desk staff, wait staff, bartenders, beach attendants all wonderful. They were friendly and attentive, making our vacation so memorable. The food at KKO was always delicious and fresh and the drinks (heavy pour) were great. I'm sure we'll be back again soon. I will be recommending this hotel to friend and family. Thank you to Junior, Cedric, Ursala, Tom and everyone else we met.
