Great hotel, from the warm welcome to last farewell everything was smooth and highly enjoyable. We loved the fact the whole island is set in lush greenery and i feels very private despite full occupancy. Staff is extremely friendly and helpfull. We stayed on half board basis and there was always something to choose from. I am sure there are better resorts for snorkeling but if you you are patient you find some good marine life as well (we did snorkel on the surf beach behind the reception) which we later discovered we were not supposed to do but it was the best. One thing I’d consider a downside is the restrictions that may feel ovewhelming, like the kids club that only allows playstation for kids only between noon and 2pm, swimming pool opened only till 6pm and the use or only certain beaches for snorkeling.

The food was good and rooms nice and clean (if you got what you expected), however the resort is not what it is being advertised as, this more of a super expencive Hotel and not a reasonable Resort (under staffed, 1 pool not 2, No "waterslide" and so on...) No issues paying for what we get, but not getting what you payed for is so disappointing. Kinda false advertising. I suggest asking for a map prior to booking.

The place was nice, food was good, but expensive and the staff very helpful and friendly, overall the resort was good. The things i did not like was to surf you need to book through the perfect wave travel which doubles the price of the room. To be fair the team at perfect wave at the resort did a good job and put on nice surf trips. But for value for money stay at the neighoring island, quarter the cost and organize your own surf trips, specially if theres a few of you surfing
