9/10 Wonderful! (1,007 reviews)
We really had a great time with our family! The staff were wonderful and friendly, and the food was tasty with a nice variety. The property is a little dated, but it was more than adequate for our stay.
The big crabs scared us at first, but we eventually got used to them! The swimming pool, the bar and beach service were both really great. One thing that pleasantly surprised me was the gym—it had all the equipment you need for a good workout.
The music and entertainment were also great, although they should be a little more mindful of some of the songs they play since this is a child-friendly resort.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back again!

This was a favorite property!!! Oceanfront, gorgeous pool and gardens around the property. I love their commitment to the environment and welcome the natural wildlife within the property. The staff is so friendly, always ensuring you are doing well and enjoying your time. The food at the restaurant is delicious, and you can enjoy your meal beachside if you wish. The bungalows are spacious with a beautiful outdoor shower. The beach is wonderful to swim, walk and surf. Thank you to all the staff we met and helped make our stay so memorable!
