The people and location make this resort. The staff and owners are really really fantastic and the beach is second to none. The villa was really good. The downside was the private garden-view bedroom. This was very mouldy and lots of mildew which was quite difficult for my partner with asthma.

One of the best beaches we saw with a natural lagoon and great snorkelling. The sea was fairly tumultuous at times. Rooms are large and well equipped. Overall the resort needs a bit of TLC and some new beach chairs! Staff were fabulous and the cultural shows great fun.

The beach is beautiful and the staff are friendly enough. However, the service and amenities are a work-on. Meals took a long time to come out once ordered. We did raise this at the time and received complimentary cocktails as a result but unfortunately it was not a one-off experience. The quality of the food was good. We did not have internet or tv in our room and raised this with staff but never received an update or resolution.
