Good location in the high rise hotel section. Near the end so a bit of a walk to the restaurants. Nice and quiet beach. Rooms a bit outdated and pool was dirty at times. Several tiles surrounding pool were racked and unsightly. Employees were nice and food was good.

Beautiful area, large villas and very good dining options food is excellent in some of the restaurants. Wonderful staff very friendly and helpful. Only negative especially at this divi is theres really nothing going on at all in the evening. And very little to nothing at the pool during the day. You would figure this being the side with the villas it would be more family oriented but besides bingo at the pool there was nothing.Tamarijn and divi divi have more things happening at night and are where the better restaurants are located but traveling between the hotels is pretty easy.
