Ocean sports were a hit!

Geoffrey-Ashley V (Rosedale) on Apr 18, 2026

We love the ocean and this stay filled that to the brim. Surf boards, boogie boards, snorkeling right from shore was all amazing. Maybe a closer bathroom by the beach would be nice since it was a bit of a walk to get up to the top bathrooms. The beach was fantastic!

Great stay

Phuong N T on Apr 14, 2026

We had a wonderful stay at this resort and were very impressed with the level of service. The staff worked closely with Expedia and made our experience feel extra special from the moment we arrived. Michelle from Expedia was especially helpful in coordinating everything and ensuring our stay went smoothly. At check-in, we were welcomed with drinks, which was a lovely touch after traveling. Even better, they surprised us with a complimentary upgrade to a larger room, which made our stay much more comfortable. The staff were also incredibly helpful with recommendations and reservations. They helped us book some great restaurants, making it easy to enjoy the local dining without the stress of planning. One of the most beautiful parts of the resort is the natural setting. The property is filled with lush trees and greenery, almost like a small forest, which makes the atmosphere peaceful and relaxing. The food at the resort itself was also very good, with plenty of options. As a thoughtful gesture, they even gave us souvenirs when we checked out, which was a really nice way to end the trip. The only small downside was that there was no chocolate ice cream available for the kids, which they were hoping for—but honestly, that’s a very minor issue compared to everything else the resort offered. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would definitely recommend this resort to anyone looking for great service, beautiful surroundings, and a relaxing stay.

Great resort for family

amthqng on Apr 14, 2026

Nice and beautiful resort. There’s easy access to the pools and beach, and the kids really loved it. It wasn’t too crowded while we were there. It's easy to get around the property and there is lots of shade along the paths, which we appreciated. The staff are very friendly. We got an upgrade, so our room was a bit larger than usual—very clean and neat. The rooms aren't brand new or updated with modern decor, but they are well-kept. Very family-friendly overall. We loved the buffet since there are so many choices; honestly, the specialty restaurants were just average, so we preferred sticking with the buffet.

Nice vacation spot

travellermc20000789 (Burlington, Canada) on Apr 14, 2026

Beautiful lush green resort. Clean rooms and excellent customer service. Food was average at the à la cart restaurants. Buffet was the best place to eat for variety to avoid crowd. We had to change rooms due to the noise as music and DJ played loud every night until 2am in the lobby /theater however staff were very accommodating and facilitated a room change quickly without issue. The beach was amazing and lots to explore. Great well kept sports facilities like tennis courts and equipment. There’s is a decent kids club for kids up to 12yo but my 10 year old thought it was a a bit babyish and they wouldn’t let him into the teenage club for 13 yo and up which was more his style with Xbox and pool tables and better activities for his age. It would’ve been way more entertaining for my son if he could’ve accessed the teenage club which was always empty.
