"The resort is set on a tiny island so when the rain started and our plans for snorkelling and boat trips were cancelled we were glad to have access to lots of books and board games to keep us occupied."

I had a lovely stay at this resort, which offered a relaxing atmosphere and a fantastic pool area. The rooms were spacious and modern, providing a comfortable retreat after a day of exploring. While the staff was generally friendly, the dining options could use some improvement. Also, it's great value for money, but I was a bit disappointed with the lack of air conditioning in common areas.
