Nice all inclusive resort. Perfect for families. They offer also several activities for free (ie kayak, pedalo, windsurf, bottomglass boat) not enough advertised though. The best thing is the kids club from 9am til 10pm with tons of activities for the kids and super lovely staff.

Friendly staff and great rooms which are huge and clean.q Enjoyed the beach front and the various sports and water activities. Numerous food options in the all inclusive package. Downside was the water and electric cuts. I have emveem to less developed countries and they have sufficient backups such as generators and water storage. Was not pleased with the club situated near the reception as was informed on the hotel tour local drinks including rum was included in the all inclusive package. However the staff stated only beer and wine was available which did not make sense as I could get local rum every where else on the hotel complex.

This is a lovely hotel. The reception area is really impressive when entering the hotel. We stopped in an Executive Beachfront room which was huge. All the restaurants were good, none of the evening ones covered by the all inclusive were exceptional, but they were all good. We did use Lime, the Sushi restaurant, at lunchtime which was superb. Overall, I would highly recommend the hotel.

The staff really make this place, the bar, boathouse and activities staff in particular. It has a relaxed and charming atmosphere, rather than a sanitised 5star. Our kids (11,9 & 5yrs) didn’t go in kids club but the staff played table tennis, drafts and chess with them around the beach allowing us to relax. The Sunset on the beach at night is breath taking.
