The staff was wonderful. The restaurant was reasonably good but a little pricey. The advertisement was a bit deceptive, and that you cannot just walk out to the reef and go snorkeling. You need to rent a boat.

Our first impression of the resort was amazing. We were greeted at the dock by the hostess who had rum punch for us. A tour of the property showed how immaculate the landscaping was kept. Every day the grounds were raked and the pool cleaned. Our cabana was clean and fresh. Attention to detail was evident and our every need was met. All staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The on-site restaurant had delicious food at reasonable prices. Highly recommend staying here, we will be back for sure!
