We stayed in Ocean Wing and the room was very spacious. In overall the food in restaurants à la carte and buffet is good. They have a really great Spa at the hotel, which is definitely worth it. The pool area at ocean wing is very nice, as well as the beach. We did the sunset morning hike which was totally worth it.

We booked one of the hillside lodges and had the private beach just in front of us. The lodge was spacy, comfortable, clean and luxurios with big windows faced to the sea. After the masses of daily tourists left the island at 4:30 pm it was quiet and calm. The staff was very friendly and polite. We would definetly recommend to go there and enjoy the cristal clear sea and sunsets.

The location is wonderful. The private beach with shaded chairs provides an excellent escape from the crowds. Snorkeling is generally pretty good. Lots of activities available of your interested. The rooms are huge and the hilltop ones have a wonderful view of the ocean from the 2nd floor bedroom balcony. The staff are all very kind and helpful when available. The food is decent.

The breakfast buffet is great. The poolside service is fantastic. Our children loved the mini splash zone/ water slides and access to the private beach.

It has its own private beach, the marina place is conveniently located in the hotel and they're very organised with the islands trips. Breakfast buffet is big and has everything for everyone. Excellent WiFi. The spa is beautiful and they have sunset tai chi classes.

Very beautiful hill side villa and private beach. Secluded when tourists are gone after 4 pm. Even though the corals are not that colorful, we saw a lot of different fishes. Staff members were very friendly and helpful. Walk to and sunset spot are picturesque.
