"This resort was an awesome place to stay for a week of relaxation and exploration of the surrounding reef and island. There was enough to do for a six day stay. Most of the staff were very friendly and helpful (Sadie, Lucy & Ariel in particular). The resort is a bit run-down in places however and the limited food options at Foxy’s Bar get tired after a few days. But that’s a small price to pay for the beautiful surrounds and dinner at Zephyr’s was lovely. The only low spot was hearing about, and then also being subjected to, one staff member’s officious manner. It wasn’t necessary to speak to guests rudely and that doesn’t reflect well on the resort and all the good people who work there. I was told this was the general manager but it’s hard to believe a general manager would lead his staff in that manner…"
