6/10 Good

Great location for snorkeling. Facilities good, food lovely & large portions. Resort needs some updating as now 50 years old.
Lynne, 7-night trip

6/10 Good

A family resort.

The hotel hasn't changed much since I first stayed there in the 90s. The staff on the whole are helpful and friendly. There are some great shows to watch. Our favourite was the fire dance. It's definitely a great place to stay with kids, although this time they stayed at home. A few of the waitstaff are a little dishonest with their drinks charges as we caught them out twice, which spoiled part of our stay here, as did the housekeeping staff with their attention to detail. Overall though a relaxing place to stay.
