We had an amazing stay. The food
We had an amazing stay. The food was great, the staff were really friendly and the kidz club was excellent. Snorkelling with the fish just arms length away was fantastic and our son tried to catch the fish with his bare hands! The pool was a bit cold for us, but the beach made up for it!! Beautiful grounds and facilities - we would definitely go back!

Terrible service! We arrived early
Terrible service! We arrived early and our room wasn't available yet which was fine, but then after coming back twice after the normal check in time they tried to check us in to an inferior room to our booking and we then had to wait until after dinner until our room was available. I know sometimes things don't happen according to plan and it wasn't the end of the world, but the fact that at no stage any of the staff even so much as offered an apology was simply appaulling. Add to that they failed to follow through on making activity and restaurant bookings we requested and that another couple came very close to missing their plane because the hotel did not make their wake up call there is no way I could ever recommend this hotel.

Very friendly employees. The main pool was undergoing maintenance and didn't open until we left (great when it opened). Great lagoon for snorkeling. Very good food and fun daily activities. Good value.
