We visited this property on day trips from our hotel, Treasure Beach, and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our time here. The beach lounges are incredibly comfortable, and the attentive staff come around frequently with refreshing drinks, making it easy to just sit back and relax. We also had lunch at the beach bar, which served up great food. For us, the absolute best part of the experience was the water activities. They offer a fantastic selection, including snorkelling, paddleboarding, kayaking, water tubing and sailing. A special shoutout goes to Maximus who guided us through all of the water activities. He was absolutely fantastic, patient, and made sure we had an incredible and safe time out on the water. We highly recommend visiting!

Don’t let the negative reviews put you off coming here. Me and my family have been here for over a week now and we have absolutely loved our stay - the food has been amazing with a wide selection of choices and the afternoon tea is a plus! Cocktails also amazing and the stuff are very friendly (especially Crystal). Room is so modern and bed is like a soft cloud I have slept so well!! Water sports are free down by the beach which is a plus/ beach itself is very quiet and just wow. Would highly recommended staying here :)

Please don’t let the past negative reviews put you off. It seems there may have been some teething pains at first, but our stay has been truly wonderful. The staff are so kind and welcoming, the room / hotel is modern, clean, and beautiful, and the food and drink have been great too. Can’t recommend highly enough!
