We really enjoyed our 2br apartment at Sunset. It was clean and well presented. The pools and gardens are really well kept. But we spent most of our time on the beach, snorkelling in the lagoon and watching the whales go by, amazing! Staff were also very helpful in booking activities and transfers.

We loved the peaceful beautiful gardens, pools and beach.
The BBQ buffet night was not worth $50 each. Main menu a la carte was much better.
Great cocktails at the pool bar.
