The location was perfect, with beautiful waters surrounding us, and the staff was absolutely wonderful, always eager to help and make our stay more enjoyable. While I loved the variety in dining options, I found the fixed meal times to be somewhat restrictive. Overall, it was an incredible value for a special family getaway.

We just returned from a week at the resort, and it was a fantastic experience overall. The renovated rooms and high-quality dining were major highlights, and the snorkeling was unforgettable. However, we faced some minor inconveniences like the airport transfer communication and a bit of crowding at the pool due to day trippers. The value for money is impressive, especially with the all-inclusive package.

We had a magical holiday at the resort, where the beach and pool areas were highlights for our family. The water cabins were very comfortable and beautifully decorated, and while the food was generally good, we found the menu lacked variety. Some issues with the seaplane were frustrating, and the rest of the island didn't appeal to us. Overall, it's perfect for a few days of relaxation, especially in the water cabins, but could use improvements in organization and dining options.
