"The room was very clean but all amenities were not replenished even when asked. The staff were wonderful especially at both restaurants. The food was delicious - lunch & dinner menus could be more varied. The beach/lagoon were fabulous. Very relaxing stay after a hectic tour of Australia & NZ. "

We could enjoy the beaches on small islands facing the deck only inhabited by beautiful crabs.
