Good resort, a bit dated. Good if you are with kids. The breakfast is a bit basic but a la carte menu for dinner is good. There is only one pool and it gets crowded with lots of kids and all chairs are taken up quickly. The beaches are very nice and the modern rooms are solid 4-star quality. The extras add upp very quickly and are expensive…

The location of the resort is perfect. After a long haul flight, we got a boat transfer to the island. It takes just around 15 minutes. The check in process is efficient and unique. The room is very clean. The excursion staffs are very friendly and patient. The spa is really good. We had a really good time. Thanks
Good value for family holiday
