The staff were helpful and friendly. The room was average as its location was not the best. The breakfast area was dirty and more staff are needed to clean tables and provide utensils plates etc. Meals were below average but the service was great. Caters for families but not for adults without children on extended stays.

Nice 4 night stay. Room was comfortable-no tv reception but a good on demand movie selection for relaxing in the evening. Food was good -pizzas and the Christmas is July buffet especially. Breakfast by the reef each morning was enjoyable. We saw lots of wildlife -whales, dolphins and even a sea turtle. There were lots of kids (school holidays).

Room felt modern, clean and comfortable. Staff were really friendly. Unique fish & bird viewing experiences occur organically while walking around the island. Favourite organised event was the coral conservation tour (book in). Kayaking was great and didn't need to be pre-booked. Both were free and easily accessible

Beautiful island, helpful staff, good value for money with a wotif package (packages seem variable). Resort didn’t quite reach its potential (disused buildings, understaffed restaurant) …. but all good as that was reflected in the price. Kids and Mums loved it.
