The pools aren’t heated so keep that in mind There’s no sign at the spa to not put your head under water so tonnes of unsupervised kids in there diving under the water splashing it in your face The staff are kind and helpful There’s no room service and only 2 restaurants and you have to book to get into the cheaper dining Kids eat free was very helpful though The food gets repetitive after a week of being there The breakfast wasn’t that must different choices It’s a great place to unwind though Note the beaches aren’t sand anymore it’s covered in coral unlike what I read online so make sure you get coral shoes

The property is good for a relaxing break however, the restaurants didn’t provide clean food eg, grilled fish and salad. The fish on the menu had Asian greens drowned in sauces. Otherwise the property overview is good and apparently it ticks a lot of boxes for many families.

Felt a little too isolated. Wish there were more options for those staying on the island to be able to get out off the island without the expensive transfers. After 2 nights we were ready to leave. The weather unfortunately didn't help and the pool was extremely cold so that was out of the question. Restaurants book out well ahead so the first night was wasted eating takeout.

The tanks and open waterways that displayed tropical fish was really great. The dining options are very limited, breakfast area was always full of birds both walking around and flying around which was unhygienic. Birds were stealing food off the tables and the buffet area. The staff were unconcerned and unbothered. Everything needed a bit of work, from rusted table legs through to aging facilities.

So expensive to stay here, it was ok but not for the mo ey we had to pay. Staff rarely cracked a smile, mostly young and miserable. Coffee desk sighed a few times and they were very very slow, no sense of urgency, even greeted us once by saying “what do you want” followed by a sigh. Swimming pools freezing. Had to ask constantly for fresh towels and to empty bins in room. Gave you 2 coffee pods at the beginning and they never got topped up, we had to ask for more to be delivered, the room team don’t top them up, only avail at reception. Breakfast very average, but you could find something that might stop you from being hungry. Balcony furniture falling apart and had been stuck with chewing gum at one point! Good to hear about the living reef, that was a free talk. Lovers Cove lovely and relaxing and sheltered from the wind. Takeaway lunchtime pizza was very expensive $30 for a 10” - greasy and really not nice, way too sickly, seems one step up from a frozen one. Intensity restaurant - tried to make it upper class but fail miserably with it being full of screaming kids, tables / cutlery not properly cleaned and over powering food / fish smells. 3 days maximum there I would say, we stayed 5 nights and found it to be too long, but it is personal preferences. Take food for lunches / dinner etc to help out. You can’t even buy a sandwich anywhere for lunch. The room has a fridge kettle and coffee pod machine. We also took paper plates and reusable cutlery as there’s nothin
