17.2/10 Exceptional! (199 reviews)

The friendliness and consideration of ALL the staff,made our stay special.They suggested the upgrades and food discounts without us prompting and were always attentive to our needs. The rooms were clean and well appointed and felt luxurious, if you step out make sure to have mosquito spray! The grounds are better than the photos,the beach was great for me but very quite this end of the island. A short bumpy taxi ride will put you in the town in 10 minutes and costs around $12.00. Overall our stay was great and relaxing.

The staff was amazing. This is not the Fives resort that we thought we had booked but it worked out. Not much for entertainment but was a relaxing vacation. Issues we did have were addressed ( door did not lock) upgraded us to an ocean view room.

Resort is very clean and beautiful. Staff was top notch - friendly and helpful! Food excellent but we would have loved an option for Mexican food for lunch and dinner (besides room service). They seem to be working on a few areas of the resort, so perhaps they are adding dining options. Beach is stunning, but is public so very busy on weekends. Our stay was mostly quiet with some occasional loud club music from the neighboring resorts. Overall a very nice vacation!
