A good stay overall

amazing dolphins sunset cruise delicious cocktails limited options leaking ceiling bad drink
Our Premium Two Storey Beachfront Villa with Sundeck was super clean. The sunset dolphin cruise was amazing! We saw many dolphins including an albino dolphin. It was amazing. Guru was very valuable. His cocktails were also delicious
The all-inclusive package was like a rip off with limited options. The Bloody Mary drink tasted bad. It was basically tomato juice with vodka. Our standard room was outdated. We did not get value for money in it. We had a leaking ceiling.

Fantastic stay, was superb

My stay included a smooth ferry pick up, a great start. The hotel upgraded my room unexpectedly. The food options were soothing, especially after wedding stress. August weather was perfect with sun and short rain showers. I especially enjoyed the diving center, it is well-facilitated and modern.
The signs were not always accurate, navigating the island can be tricky.
