If you love to snorkel this is the best resort on earth! Plus you can smoke inside the rooms when you need ac. Heinz is the worlds best egg chef. I do appreciated the passion fruit the staff brought us. I can’t wait to return. I do wish there were less bugs. Even with twice daily housekeeping my husband got 37 bites the first night. I also think there must have been a language barrier as our spa costs were tripple what she quoted. Nonetheless can’t wait to go back for club sandwiches on the beach!

We loved this hotel!

The hotel and the property are beautiful. All the "rooms" are bungalows right on the beach, and the bungalow was large and beautifully done. You can swim/snorkel right from the beach. The pool is also nice. Food in the restaurant is great, and the staff is wonderful.

Overwater bungalow for 8 days was amazing, A/c unit was at end of life and they gave me $400 off food purchases. The rooms are 10/10 on amazing. The best and most diverse fish and coral types are right under the units. Food on the island is marginal, and the restaurant was better, but spendy. Half of the staff was amazing and the other half was just working a job. But overall, this is the best overwater bungalows on the islands for privacy, views, and water wildlife to see.

Heaven awaits!

The facility was phenomenal! Absolutely outstanding. Grounds immaculate. Snorkeling in crystal clear water with brilliantly colored coral and fish was amazing. Over water bungalows were very nice but need a bit of updating. The views from our bungalow were beautiful. Restaurant breakfast great. Dinner buffet with show was good too. The lunch fare was poor and very expensive for the quality of meal you receive. I highly recommend this property. We didn’t want to leave. You won’t be disappointed!!!!!
