Overall great room - the staff rectified tell the bed issue quickly and was pleased with result. Plenty of towels & soaps, fantastic water pressure in shower!! Disappointed with continental breakfast option. Felt more basic that what continental should be! Food & Beverages quite pricey.

Great location for snorkeling. Facilities good, food lovely & large portions. Resort needs some updating as now 50 years old.
Lynne, 7-night trip

6/10 Good

By no means luxury

Curtains are so light they let in all the light. Paired with screaming chickens doesn’t make for a great nights sleep. A lot of the staff seemed miserable as well which showed. At the end of the day it does the job but wouldn’t stay again.

Great location. Nice accommodations. Breakfast had no protein like boiled eggs. And no WiFi like other places. Staff was super friendly!
Leilah R, 8-night trip

6/10 Good

A family resort.

The hotel hasn't changed much since I first stayed there in the 90s. The staff on the whole are helpful and friendly. There are some great shows to watch. Our favourite was the fire dance. It's definitely a great place to stay with kids, although this time they stayed at home. A few of the waitstaff are a little dishonest with their drinks charges as we caught them out twice, which spoiled part of our stay here, as did the housekeeping staff with their attention to detail. Overall though a relaxing place to stay.
Peter, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staff were really welcoming and helpful. An excellent hotel to stay with plenty to keep the kids entertained. Our garden room was pleasant and had enough space for our family. The only disappointment was the paid wifi was very slow compared to some of the free wifi at other restaurants/ hotels

Staff all work very hard and were always pleasant and attentive. Food options offer a nice variety, car rental right on the property and the local bus comes right into the turnabout at the hotel lobby to pick up/drop off guests

Great room for family holidays. Good for kids. Kids club activities, free hire of towels and beach gear was great. Massage on-site was amazing. Breakfast was a bit of a hustle. Needed more room for the amount of people going in to eat.
