9/10 Wonderful! (105 reviews)

It’s your typical all inclusive resort, but I think they do it much better in the Caribbean. Although I’d say that the food was better here.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (373 reviews)

A lovely place to stay with amazing sunset’s & views. Would highly recommend for a short getaway & produced some amazing wine. If you’re looking for a quality stay with good food & wine it’s well worth the stay. Staff were very friendly & has an amazing pool area. While we were there in early July it was quite quiet & we were able to enjoy the pool with hardly anybody else there. Nice wine tasting as well!
