Themed Dining Nights

“During my stay at the resort, I was pleasantly surprised by the variety and creativity of their dining options. Each evening featured a unique theme, and I particularly enjoyed the beach barbecue where fresh meats and local fish were grilled right by the water. This allowed us to indulge in flavorful dishes like freshly prepared Wahoo, which was truly nice.” view full review

Spacious and Comfortable Suites

“I stayed in a grand suite that felt newly renovated and spacious. The comfortable beds came with a two-inch mattress topper that made a significant difference in my sleep quality. With plenty of storage space and a nice sitting area, it felt like a home away from home. The attention to cleanliness was impressive; I appreciated the daily housekeeping that kept everything tidy.” view full review

Wonderful Snorkeling Experience

“Even though I didn't try diving, the snorkeling right off the dock was an lovely experience! It felt like swimming in a colorful aquarium with exotic fish. When I swam along the reef, I was amazed by the biodiversity and had nice encounters with a moray eel and a large stingray, making for a truly exhilarating experience.” view full review

Great Dive Shop and Activities

“The resort offers excellent access to a well-run dive shop, Toucan Diving, which provided me with everything I needed for shore diving. They had air tanks ready for use at convenient locations around the resort, allowing for easy diving at sites like 18 Palms. Having these amenities on-site made my diving experience seamless and enjoyable.” view full review

We had a relaxing couple of weeks at this resort, which is perfect for those looking to unwind rather than party. The food was surprisingly good, with fresh options and tasty daily specials. The staff were generally polite, but there were a few younger ones who could improve. While the beach isn't sandy and has some maintenance issues, the property has potential and plans for upgrades. Overall, it was a lovely holiday, and we would think about returning.
