fantastic facilities

water activitiesincluded breakfastairport transportefficient luggage storage
The room overlooked the water, just like the photos on the website showed. breakfast was a treat, running from 6 until 10:30 am. this add-on proved valuable because the island has fewer breakfast spots. accessing most water activities for free, like sup boards and kayaks, was great. We didn't even need a golf buggy since the main resort was nearby! the hotel managed airport transfers and luggage storage on departure day efficiently.
the evening dining restaurant was not at the same level as other establishments. it was a very slight disappointment, though
