Acceptable stay with some issues
poor food noisy air conditioning
The pool and seating areas were clean and beautiful.
The food wasn't great. I expected more. The hut was fine but there was an outside shower at the back I didn't like. the air conditioning made strange noises at night. The lagoon boat ride did not include whale watching.
