The staff at the resort are excellent, facilities need a refresh. Pretty seedy in places, breakfast awful, not enough loungers. All in all OK value for money but could only get basic room and have been more disappointed if we had paid more.

Fantastic place for families. Highly recommend if you can afford it staying at three bedroom villas- big space and awesome views with aircon.. definitely worth it for family three or four kids. Compared to other resorts which didn’t offer as much space. Babysitting etc all organised by resort with no issues at all. It is a busy resort but they cope with everyone so well. Neat views and well kept grounds. Thanks for the stay!!

The staff were so friendly and helpful. Great location for sunset and beautiful location, gardens are so nicely kept. The room was adequate for our needs. Great day spa, thanks Rosa for the amazing deep tissue massage. Great Island night and breakfast was a hit with the kids. Able to see the humpback whales while eating breakfast in the morning, how amazing. Really efficient with meals at the restaurant with so many people ordering. Nice atmosphere and local bus pulls right into the resort making getting around the island easy. Also rented a car from rental car place onsite, really easy. Nice and close to airport for our early morning flight, cannot hear the planes from the resort. Excellent place, we would love go back.
