Reset your energy under the sun.
Great friendly service and a nice location. We had a great time under the sun. This is a sister property of four or five resorts, getting the water taxi to explore other all inclusive sister resorts ia amazing. The water toys are also very nice.

Alison

Lovely stay. The staff overall were very friendly. It’s a very relaxed hotel. The inclusive package was very good, easy to eat and drink too much! We had a junior suite overlooking the sea and it was a big room with everything you needed. Overall the hotel is a little tired. We were told it closing for a year in July for total refurbishment and it is needed. The area/road outside of the hotel is very busy and not really ideal for walking along.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. My room was spacious and very comfortable. I liked the three different pools and there were always enough lounge chairs to relax in. The cocktails were delicious and there were different food options daily which was great. I was only disappointed that I didn’t get to go to the spa during my stay as I couldn’t get through to them on the phone. I would definitely stay again, for longer.
