"Spent an overnight during peak tourist season. It's a nice resort, about 20 years old with some, but not excessive wear, for its age. Excellent location, excellent property layout with beach access. Room was very good. Buffet breakfast was very good. Free underground parking. My only disappointment was that I booked anticipating use of the outside spa tub but it was closed for some reason (there is a room spa tub, but too confined for me)."

"The complex is in a great location with easy access to the beach and local restaurants. Good access to highway for exploring the wider region. Ideal for families. Apartment was nice, spacious with modern appliances, comfortable lounge area and balcony, bathrooms were a little tired but had been recently decorated. Complex is well maintained with nice garden areas and pool, secure underground parking with easy access was good"

8/10 Good

"Friendly staff. Easy parking. Nice for family of four."

Blue Lagoon Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The resort just has a beautiful feel to it; surrounded by lush garden, and on the lagoon. Despite being so big, it is very well configured to feel very private and quiet."

Escape to Villa Catana: Spacious Home with Pool, Lush Gardens, and Close to Nature!

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay here was everything we needed. As a family with three young children (5yo, 3yo and 1 yo) we needed space for naps and quiet time and a generous kitchen for food prep with washer dryer facilities and this placed ticked all those boxes. Attention had been paid to various aspects of baby proofing (ie oven guard and some socket guards) which was a plus for us. The team were also helpful with having the cot and high chair set up for our arrival.The pool is not large but was again perfect for our needs of swimming with younger children with a nice long and wide edge step for them to play on. It was also very safely fenced.The place was very neat and tidy with a lovely living dining area. We hired a car as it was not centrally located but that was part of the appeal for us. It was a nice quiet neighbourhood that felt safe and secure walking around with the little children. It was about a 5 minute drive to to local supermarkets.I’m sure people without kids would love it too, but for us it suited our needs perfectly"

Rainforest Sunsets by Tiny Away

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely location and very private"

Stunning Family Resort Style Home - Swimming Pool + Full Tennis Court

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful house that suited our group. We had a lovely time and particularly enjoyed the pool and tennis court. One thing, the bedding configuration section advertised that one of the living rooms had couches that made 4 beds. In reality, one living room had 2 couches and the other had 2 couches. This was problematic for us as we were expecting to put three teenage girls together."

Relaxed Luxury with Stunning Pyramid Views & Private Pool

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic stay at Mountain Breeze Retreat. The home is beautifully designed with gorgeous furnishings, stunning views, cool breezes and a well‑equipped kitchen. Everything was spotless, the beds were super comfy, and the pool was a standout — crystal clear, peaceful, and perfect for relaxing. The hosts were wonderfully friendly, gracious and helpful when needed, and their sweet little poodle made the stay even more special. We’d return in a heartbeat!"
