This resort is wonderful! The private beach is the best. We snorkeled right there and saw so many fish and even a blue starfish! The pools are also very nice and they have a bar with a daily happy hour drink special! Rooms are spacious and the staff is amazing!

We stayed in a 2br villa which was modern and well equipped for a decent amount of time with kitchen and two toilets, large balcony. Overlooking main pool but furthest point from the ocean front which was probably a 300m walk. Immaculate property that is a credit to all the wonderful staff. Continental breakfast is just that with fresh bread, cereal, fruit, tea and coffee. Stunning beachfront and close to airport. Highly recommend.

Stayed 7 nights in a very nice beachfront room in beautiful gardens and grounds. Quiet and perfect for a relaxing holiday. Staff were welcoming and very helpful. Restaurant was only average & beach loungers and chairs need cushions/sunlounge covers, as very uncomfortable.

We really enjoyed our 2br apartment at Sunset. It was clean and well presented. The pools and gardens are really well kept. But we spent most of our time on the beach, snorkelling in the lagoon and watching the whales go by, amazing! Staff were also very helpful in booking activities and transfers.
