The staff were very accommodating, kind, and helpful. The first room had a few leaks during our first night after a rainstorm, and we were upgraded to a larger room for 2 nights. The chef was excellent, and each meal was high-quality. Breakfast was amazing - continental was free. We went on two on-site snorkeling trips. Both of these trips were outstanding. The pool was clean and perfect for cooling off and relaxing. On the downside, we came in October. The mosquitoes were vicious. Sitting outside without bug spray after a rain and in the evenings was uncomfortable. The seaweed made the resort beach unusable, and the water did not get clear enough to swim in until you were 100 feet or more offshore. Additionally, the seaweed had an offensive smell that was difficult to get away from. Lastly, the roads to and from the resort were in terrible condition. Giant potholes, runoffs, and standing water made it an uneasy drive to town or the west side of the island in a golf cart. We highly recommend this resort because of its beauty, staff, amenities, and food service. However, double-check with the resort about the best times to come for the cleanest beachfront. The online photos of the beach are deceiving.

The location was very nice but we didn't enjoy the food. It was too pretentious and overpriced. We went in early October, off season, and it was very very empty, probably had 3-4 rooms only rented out. The mosquitoes and no see insects were horrendous. We literally got hundreds of bites on exposed skin even with bug spray.

The resort is average. Upon arriving everything was good until the smell of rotten eggs hit you in face from the seaweed. As they do a good job to keep the beach clean there is no getting in the water here or avoiding the smell. I understand this is out of their control but guest should be more made aware of this. After stomaching the smell for 2 days I had to leave the resort and find a place on the other side the island to stay. The food was good but nothing to write home about and the drinks were average.

This was a beautiful, quiet resort - Perfect for the couple or family that isn't in for a touristy like experience. The bungalows are just fabulous - look out over the pool then the the water. Can't swim in the water due about 6-8 feet of seaweed from the beach into the water - which is very smelly mostly in the mornings. This resort is about a 30 minute golf cart ride away from anything. So if you want a private peaceful getaway, this is it!!
