It was a place that made me feel like I was in another country even though I am only within a few minutes boat ride away from the busy noisy city. My family had a great time and its a place with good food. Great place for meetings and awesome place to relax. Staff was superb, very courteous, and area was super clean. Looking forward to book another stay for next year's vacation.

Hotel dissatisfaction

The place is great however there are few concerns regarding the quality issue and hotel dissatisfaction. On the first night the whole room floor was sweating which is so slippery and dangerous as we have toddler running around, the switch lights are not working properly, All rooms have umbrella stand however it was all empty, and lastly a major complain about the pool for children area. I found alive centipede swimming along with the children, I don’t know how long it has been there but I’m glad I found it before incident happened. I am writing this review for other people awareness and safety and I hope that there is preventive and corrective actions for this matter.

It’s not cheap but you get what you paid for. Very hospital staff though you get looks if you are solo. Not a lot of people last Sept which i love. Free airport pick up and boat transfer. Outside food is not allowed unless you pay for corkage. Dining options are expensive and limited options. Overall, it was a nice experience.
