The upkeep of the property, staff, the food setup and the bar deck

Sumit India

Great staff, service, cleanliness, and food! All around really good experience. Food was repetitive for a couple of days but overall lots of options and variety throughout our 6 day stay. Quality of food was great. -the Spa was great as well

Maple Canada

Vacation exceeded my expectations! The room vas very good and comfortable, the view was amazing and all the members of the staff were very friendly. The hotel also has a very significant advantage: even if the water is choppy, you can still swim in another part of the island. Special thanks to the cooks, the food was great. The only wish is to improve the internet in the bungalow. Thank you
