8/10 Very Good! (480 reviews)

Only disappointment was the rubbish, on the beach and area around the pool. Not the staff’s fault but rubbish bins need to be dotted around the place. It’s such a beautiful island only to wasted by others rubbish. No good for the marine life. Other than that awesome place

9.4/10 Exceptional! (101 reviews)

The resort is wonderful - from the location, to the gardens and all the amenities (we loved our private dip pool and the restaurant. You must try the seafood pasta). The best part was the staff. They were all so warm and welcoming. We will definitely be going back!
