It's a lovely place to stay. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I feel there need to be movable umbrellas around the pool area, as sometimes it was hard to find seating in the shade. It would also be good if the final bill was itemised rather than the current way it is done.

Being adults only was really good for my wife and I to have time away from kids and just be able to relax with other adults not having alot of noise or drama, the pool was a bit small but the bonus of the pool bar was very big benefit alot of drinks were had from that pool bar. Meals were consistently amazing for breakfast

Beautiful location & friendly staff, great resort. It would have been good to know about the 350 bond required & that breakfasts included meant light tropical breakfasts & not full continental breakfasts. Other than that I definitely go back. Thanks!

The surroundings of property perfect. Absolutely disgusted that staff at pool kept serving drunk people. One fell in pool head down and visitors had to get him out. Vomited in pool then took about an hour for a sign to put up so no swimming for anyone rest of night. Im 80 years old an had a notice put at my door accusing me of drinking my alcohol by pool. Had to wait 2 days for apology then to top it off told my check out day was a day earlier when it wasnt. Wouldnt recommend this property to anyone

The Staff went above and beyond to be friendly and helpful. Everyone of them. Things I didn’t care for was the rediculous prices for drinks, what Happy Hour? Wifi is also an unbelievable rip off. No beach to walk on and tough swimming. They have done a really good job fixing this place up and Adults only is a bonus.

Adults only resort always works. Staff very friendly. View from resort is awesome. A bit dated and in need of some repairs but doesn’t spoil the stay. Included breakfast a bit limited but you can purchase extras if needed. Would go back.
