Very friendly and always helpful staff. Fair variety for buffet - chef is very accommodating Amazing SPA - we had 2 massages in 3 days stay. Rooms are clean, spacious and has everything you need including beach towels and umbrella. Lovely view from the oceanfront room we had. Had some terrible noise from the construction next door but hopefully they will be finished by peak season kicks off… The manager Laurent was excellent - very accomodating, helpful and willing to listen to recommendations/suggestions. Beach was good, no real major tidal impacts… around the corner from the Kendwa Rocks hotspots Overall lovely experience

The hotel was absolutely beautiful. The rooms were spacious and really decor was nice. The staff were all friendly. They also had a nice gym. The app didn’t work the entire time we were there. Restaurants on the app said booked however we were able to reserve at the front desk. When we got to the restaurants they were very empty each night. Probably because no one could book on the app. They never replaced our towels. We would return to our rooms and dirty towels would be removed but then we had to call the front desk to receive new ones. The food left much to be desired. Almost all of the food was over cooked. We had better meals off the resort. Drinks options on the all inclusive plan were very limited. The pools closed early at 6pm. Even the adult pool.
