to the bugger who gave me a red blob for this thread for being "urgent my ass" ... it was urgent as all the bookings were filling and i needed to settle on my decision. thanks for your shadowy criticism though...its always appreciated.
anyways...just wanted to give an update on my trip to those who cared:
Nexus SUCKS !!!!!!!
Rasa Ria was full, so we decided on Nexus since it boasted a 5 star rating as well. All i can say is they were more like a 3 star, and nothing even remotely better.
- The rooms were very old, bare, and dirty looking (stains on rugs and walls, broken fixtures)
- There were never enough lounge chairs near the pool or the ocean, so we were constantly "waiting" for seats.
- The lounge cushions were mostly stained and dirty looking
- The pool was filled with sand, and looked like they dont clean it often
- Most of the activities were closed. Horses were "sick", jet skiis were broken, speed boat was being serviced.
- Parasailing ended up being a dirty boat with rickity looking equipment. The technician managed to cut one of our legs and did not apologize or seem to care, they did not tell us any signals if problems, and when in the air we did not go high at all as the rope was too short. They also did not keep an eye on us, as i ended up wanting to come down from boredom and had to try and signal to them for a full 5 mins before they noticed me screaming at them.
- The staff was not polite and never greeted us. They were very unhelpful and slow to respond.
So....thanks for suggestion but I will never be returning to that place ever again, and would highly recommend anyone else to skip this resort. IT was not worth a dime of my money or time.
