The property was clean and well-maintained. The staff was helpful and friendly. The only negative was the smell of the seaweed, which the staff did their best to control. Also, the bugs are relentless; the resort sprays daily, but they should spray more often.

The resort and staff are lovely, and the setting is beautiful, but it’s extremely remote—over an hour to town or Secret Beach, with no paved roads and relentless mosquitos. A few improvements would go a long way: provide insect repellent kits, improve mosquito control around the property, and offer more vegan food options. A regular shuttle schedule exclusively for guests (not shared with staff or supply runs) would greatly enhance the experience. TVs should be fully functional, and a gift shop or small grocery store would be helpful due to the isolation. More on-site activities and better access to golf carts or ATVs would also improve the stay. Despite these challenges, we made it an adventure—but it's best for travelers who enjoy rustic, remote settings

9/10 staff members were amazing. The resort really lacked food options. The food they did offer eas very underwhelming. Felt like all i could eat was bar food the whole trip. The location is so seculded it left you with limited options to do much at the resort itself. Deante, ken and celeste really made our stay worth it. Very amazing and generous and understanding people.

False advertising thru the website. Website said free boat shuttle to town when I got there it’s $15 per person with super limited schedule. I called on the phone to ask the price for a cab into town I was told $35 when I got to the resort it was $200 round trip us money. The amount of sargassum created plague of vicious mosquitoes, and flies that did not allow for the enjoyment of the outdoors. The orange OFF repellent barely worked. If you got in the pool the minute your face touched the surface your face was attacked. My poor daughter had 8 bites on her face. In one hour of pool time. There is only one restaurant with so so food. Management did nothing to acknowledge our distress nor any form of solution offered to make our stay enjoyable. You are stuck, stranded nothing to do and afraid to go out side because you will be assaulted by the biting insects and horrible, disgusting smell that was so strong I had a hard time falling asleep. It was sheared torture.

This was one of the most beautiful resorts we saw on the whole island but you need to realize how remote it was. We rented golf carts and it took about 1 hr 20 min to get into town and it's a very bumpy road. It is faster by water taxi but they charge $37USD per person and for a family of 4 that is alot. To the south the next restaurant is about 10 minute drive and south it is about 45 minutes. That is also where the nearest store is. The food at the resort is good. We actually loved how secluded it was. It was safe and the kids could have more freedom. It was never crowded at the pool, beach chairs always available and good snorkeling right from the property.

Overpriced for what you get

Buffet for NYE was blah. The food was meager. The mains and desserts were lacking in both quality and quantity, the money we paid! The manager Sean was super awkward walking around saying hi to everyone but he didn’t know how to engage in a convo with us. The menu - half of the stuff was not available. Not worth the money spent at the resort.
