Staying at this resort was an incredible experience, perfectly situated on a stunning island paradise. The staff truly went above and beyond to make our stay special, always accommodating and helpful. While the accommodations had a certain charm, they did show some signs of age, which could use a little attention. Dining options were delightful, especially breakfast, but we did find ourselves wishing for a bit more variety in lunch and dinner selections. All in all, this place was great for a tranquil getaway, but it could benefit from some updates to reach its full potential.

My stay at this resort was nothing short of spectacular. The location on a beautiful private island made for stunning views and incredible snorkeling experiences. The staff was genuinely warm and helpful, making my birthday getaway even more special.

I had a wonderful week at this resort, staying in a beachfront bungalow that felt like paradise. The staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating, making my experience enjoyable, although the resort could benefit from some updates and maintenance. The beauty of the island and the clear waters were breathtaking, and the snorkeling opportunities were fantastic. However, the lack of evening activities might not suit everyone, and I'd suggest taking the complimentary shuttle into town for better spa options and prices.
