Fabulous experience

This is one of the best resorts I have stayed, staff were friendly, courteous and couldn’t do enough to make our stay perfect. Pool and beach were clean, snorkel gear, kayaks at our disposal. Restaurant reasonably priced, variety of dishes and excellent food. Cannot rate highly enough.
