It was a place that made me feel like I was in another country even though I am only within a few minutes boat ride away from the busy noisy city. My family had a great time and its a place with good food. Great place for meetings and awesome place to relax. Staff was superb, very courteous, and area was super clean. Looking forward to book another stay for next year's vacation.

Best stay for anyone visiting from the U.S.
It was my first trip out of the country, and our stay was great. I wished we could’ve stayed another day. Staff was very friendly and attentive at all times. I have never experienced such professionalism and politeness. The staff knows how to treat their guests. The pools, the food, the beach…all 5 stars! I love this place and we will be back.

We had an amazing stay and the staff are wonderful. The facilities were topnotch. One room for improvement is the bar.Not many selection of wines and the drinks were a little to come even while we were already sitting at the bar. But otherwise, it was wonderful experience and we will come back soon.

The facility is really wonderful. From cleanliness to amenities, is awesome. My son enjoyed the water sports. But weren’t able to do jetskiiing because they were out of gasoline but not a big deal. I would give them more than ten point score especially the staff by the registration desk they went out of their way to help me fix my double booking issue. Thank you very much.
