A lovely outdoor patio adjoined my room, and I enjoyed both the large pools. The Crocodile Grill & Bar served great food and drinks. What really sets the resort apart is the staff - they are absolutely wonderful and SO very helpful; they made me feel so special!! ##### Glenda Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Victoria Feb 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Relaxing Beautiful setting ##### Victoria Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tameica Jul 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Beautiful property.
