Location is over the top. When you picture perfect island with the perfect beach in your head and than you see it in reality. White sand, turquoise sea, colorful fishes...

Hands down best beach on the island. Perfect place to go on a family get away. The resort is very peaceful! We got the ocean front villa and we truly enjoyed it. We got to see monkeys and flying squirrels. The staff was very nice and always went the extra mile to help out. We were always greeted with a warm felt smile! We loved it so much we ended up extending our stay. We will definitely be returning!

“Could easily have been the best hotel on the island...but”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Submitted from a mobile device
The wifi is so bad it is non-existent. There are only beach chairs for about one fourth of the hotels guests, witch means if you aren’t up by 8 o’clock in the morning to grab a chair, you’ll have to spend the day on the burning sand. The majority of the personal does not understand more than 3 words of English witch means you’ll have to deal with panicking staff who have to run and get someone who speaks English every time you try to order a bottle of water. Every time you buy something the personal have to calculate manually and write everything down, even if you pay by cash (20 cents) for a soda. This means that every interaction with the personal becomes a hassle. The power goes out EVERY DAY, and no one told us. When we confronted the reception they said this happens between 15-16 daily (fair enough, island life I suppose), so we tried to plan accordingly since staying at a room with no air condition is unbearable. But in reality the power goes out 3-4 times a day at random times, sometimes during the night, so you wake up drenched in sweat because the power had gone sometime during the night. UNACCEPTABLE! With a few changes in management this could easily have been the best hotel on the island because of its surroundings, but due to poor management it is an average and overpriced experience. However because of the beach and the nature on the premises I would still recommend this hotel though.
This place has the most wonderful beach on the island, snorkeling is fantastic and swimming is brilliant. The hotel is surrounded by the most wonderful nature, you’ve got jungle, monkeys, squirrels, lizards, it is amazing.

The place is the most expensive of the island and it doesn't meet the expectations. The room it could meet them, but the facilities of the hotel were very poor. I didn't like the restaurant
Best beach of the island. There are turttles every day. Our room was very nice and in front of the sea. So the only noise that we heard was the waves breaking on the shore.

Breakfast is very poor, poor in tropical fruits, no lactose free alternatives, no fresh juices only dispenser, no healthy corner... All the property is very badly preserved, tennis court out of order, swimming pool no equipped, garden in total chaos. Common spaces are very old, not maintained, beach bar is poor, with tropical fruit in plastic bags, restaurants area is old, dark, not so clean. There are no beach equipment for the whole property occupancy, so you may stay with no place with all day long. Beach towels are old and damaged. Staff is not prepared and lazy, the guy at the beach is the emblema guy... it’s totally no customer oriented resort. They just have the best position on the island, however they do not give back the service and the standard that justify their rates.

The service could be a bit slow sometimes but the people were lovely. Could have done with more sunbeds/chairs - if you weren't on the beach by 9am, all were gone. And it would have been good to have been warned about the no alcohol policy when booking.
The beach is really beautiful, with amazing snorkelling right in front of the hotel. I loved the jungle trek and the wildlife everywhere.

- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
1 staff at check in (Short-haired lady) was rather rude and condescending when we asked if the rooms were ready due to our slightly early arrival. The other 2 scarved colleagues were trying to help & check (Since we saw the rooms we were allocated already cleaned about 1 hour prior), but this lady kept trying to stop me from asking further and just kept stating twice/ thrice there is no whatsapp notification yet which means they're not yet ready for us. In the end, rooms were ready and the other 2 staff assisted us very graciously.
Location was great in terms of access to beach, the informal snorkeling options available and cleanliness of overall surroundings. The pool too was well maintained and generally everyone was friendly.
