9.2/10 Wonderful! (686 reviews)

This resort was beautiful and quiet. It was definitely a peaceful getaway. The staff was very nice and accommodating. The resort is tucked away on the island and a long distance from any attractions, restaurants, and popular beaches. It would be ideal if you have no plans to explore the island. My issue was with the food. There is only one restaurant on the property and the last seating for dinner is 9pm. If you don’t dine in the restaurant by that time, there is no more food available to you. One night, I was not hungry at my reservation time and asked if I could take food to my room for later but I was denied. I would stay here again, but knowing the food situation I know to buy food from the other side of town and bring it back to the hotel with me.

8.4/10 Very Good! (742 reviews)

It’s a beautiful property and very family friendly. There’s several dining options, pools, and tons of activities to do. It’s not necessary to leave the hotel for activities, but if you do everything is right at your fingertips from rental cars, tours, excursions you name it and it’s available to you. The employees are very hospitable and friendly. We stayed in a 2bdrm villa and loved it. Very spacious with plenty room for kids to move about. Beach is nice with plenty of chairs and shade to sit under. The only downside to the beach is seaweed, but you’re still able to swim and enjoy it. The food options were ok!!!! The buffet options were good not great and there are specialty dining options available for an additional cost. Would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking for a laid back, quiet and friendly place to vacation.
