"We stay in a studio unit in an older part of the complex. However if I was a backpacker I would give them 10 out of 10 . Community facilities were excellent."

10/10 Excellent
"Room was clean, has amazing view. We didn't cook but noticed that the kitchen was spacious and equiped with everything one needs to make a meal. We enjoyed our stay. The check in process was a bit frustating. The property does have a front desk person for check-in. There was a phone number at the front desk one needs to call to get a code to open the lock box to get the key to the room. However, as an international traveler without a calling plan, the unexpected phone call I had to make was costly."

"Plantation resort is perfectly positioned in the centre of town with sweeping beach views. Staff were super helpful in bringing forward our stay before we even arrived. On arrival, the resort was beautifully presented and the suite very generously proportioned. The beach trolley and toys were a great bonus. Highly recommend the double Island kayak tour."

10/10 Excellent
"Great location, walking distance to main street, beach and park. Yard was great for kids to run around in. Great house for toddlers, very safe. Wifi was installed the day we arrived. Curtains were not blackout in bedrooms but just standard curtains. Bathrooms a little tired but did the job. Only extra info just for you to know - one lamp in main bed needed a new bulb and remote for the fan in there needs a new battery."

"Good value for the money, no air conditioning but fans worked well and the deck was pleasant. Had a good selection of dishes and utensils. Was a clean utilitarian unit and an easy walk to the beach and along the beach back to town (25 min flat beach walk). Solid basic condo and very friendly staff in town."
