smooth ride spacious balcony
The boat ride was smooth and efficient (I especially enjoyed the views). The staff at the front desk was very helpful with check-in and provided clear directions to my room. My room had a very spacious balcony and the bathroom included two separate sinks. The resort also has multiple dining options. I tried the Italian restaurant, and the pasta was excellent.
The wait time for a golf cart could sometimes be a bit long.

a mixed bag of experiences.
unclean bathrooms broken shower
The water at the beach was crystal clear. I could see small fish.
I found the pool underwhelming. it was not very deep. the changing rooms and bathrooms needed more frequent cleaning and servicing. One shower wasn't working.

Awesome Stay at a Fantastic Resort
smooth check-in outdoor balcony spacious bed dual sinks
Valet parking greeted me upon arrival at the port. They had date and banana smoothies. I boarded the boat for a quick 15 minute ride to the hotel. This was smooth. My room featured sand and water views. a charming outdoor balcony. It was fine. The bathroom included a bathtub, a big shower, and dual sinks. Elemis products stocked it all.
The hotel is beautiful, but a minor update with color schemes would make it even better .

i really enjoyed my stay. the staff by the beach and pool were very attentive. stanley and omari did a great job ensuring everyone's safety near the water. the kind man at reception offered dates and tea, a very nice gesture. he even volunteered to take pictures of me, very thoughtful.
the resort is quite expensive. the restaurants felt overpriced for what they offered. i wish there were more affordable options available, such as a small grocery store for snacks.

Fantastic Stay with Great Activities
helpful staff delicious food
The staff was very helpful from arrival through departure. I found the adventure park team to be very supportive during activities. Staff members were warm and cute making it a pleasant stay. Food was delicious and there were facilities available for all age groups.
I noticed that the in-room entertainment system was outdated. It also seemed a bit glitchy to operate. The lighting in the room was not ideal.
