This is a very comfortable property that met our needs. The staff are very friendly and attentive. The property is right on the beach with tropical fish swimming in water below your knees. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and would recommend for families. The resort does need to ensure that their website, tv menus and onsite menus are updated to align but this is a minor point.

The staff at the resort are excellent, facilities need a refresh. Pretty seedy in places, breakfast awful, not enough loungers. All in all OK value for money but could only get basic room and have been more disappointed if we had paid more.

Fantastic place for families. Highly recommend if you can afford it staying at three bedroom villas- big space and awesome views with aircon.. definitely worth it for family three or four kids. Compared to other resorts which didn’t offer as much space. Babysitting etc all organised by resort with no issues at all. It is a busy resort but they cope with everyone so well. Neat views and well kept grounds. Thanks for the stay!!

Liked the location and how secure it is. Disliked the rooms, our room was outdated with some renovations to the bathroom, the cleanliness of the place was terrible, we had red ants appearing on the floors and on our bed upon entering the room, the bathroom also had red ants. Tiles look like they weren’t cleaned properly
