Family friendly. Amazing lagoon filled with so much sea life. Staff were absolutely phenomenal. Rooms are a little outdated and small, but we were only in them to sleep.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (100 reviews)

Room was clean, albeit getting a little tired. Staff were very helpful. View from room was stunning but water near beach was very rocky. Resort offers weddings but has only one restaurant so on wedding days other guests are only offered room service and restricted use of other areas. Only one day of our stay was affected but there were two more weddings in the week after we left. Had we known well in advance we would have cancelled and booked another resort. The resort did eventually offer some compensation for the disruption.
