Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
A truely amazing experience made perfect by the wonderful team. We stayed for 4 nights and could not find fault. The food was excellent and the staff could not have done more for us. We had a dolphin watching trip and a reef fishing trip where we caught baracuda which was expertly prepared for us that evening for supper. The beach cabana was clean and comfortable.
Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2026
