Really good Tropical Getaway

attentive staffexcellent foodfine views
The staff are indeed attentive and knowledgeable. They know all areas of the resort. Both dining outlets offer excellent food. The public areas and the beachfront cabin I stayed in were above standard in cleanliness. The boat transfers were easy. The scenery was amazing.
The general store had limited stock, forcing me to buy more supplies before going there.
