Quiet, well-appointed, with the option of taking part in all the activities at the sister resort next door. Lovely, friendly staff who were always prepared to go the extra mile. Fabulous snorkelling right on our doorstep - it was like swimming in an aquarium.

A great relaxing stay
Great stay, perfect beachfront room and being adults only on the side we stayed on, relaxing and quiet. Service was good but relaxed. Swim up bar, well kept facility, a range of bars and restaurants within the complex, fins, goggles and snorkel provided for the lagoon.

Martin, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great options for walks along the beach and into the hinterland. Beautiful beach, safe swimming, snorkeling and kayaking options. Property somewhat dated and not as quiet as you would expect for an adults only resort.

Monique, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Wonderful location for snorkelling
We loved the location, in front of the marine park, being able to snorkel from the beach. Kayaks and stand up paddle boards we’re always available to use. We had a lovely view of the lagoon from our balcony. Room was spacious and clean except windows which needed cleaning- the resort feels tired with public areas needing a good clean, especially breakfast area - buffet not great, staff morale seemed low, did bare minimum

Devika, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

We enjoyed the adult only stay. The cocktail and bar staff were amazing special Sake. Areas which were a little disappointed was the breakfast buffet. For the price we believe that it was not value for money. Overall we enjoyed our stay and the facilities / beach equipment that were available to us. Thank you all the the friendly staff that help us enjoyed our holiday. Fiona and Troy
Troy, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

Food was dreadful.
Lynda, 8-night trip

6/10 Good

The “adults-only” hotel and pool are nestled so intimately within the larger family friendly grounds that you can’t tell it’s separate.
Leanne, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely setting right on the edge of the lagoon reserve - perfect for snorkeling and swimming. Bar / Reception staff were great and made for a very relaxing holiday.
