    ocean views
    limited dining options

    The hotel offered beautiful views of the

    ocean, which made our mornings special. The kids loved the aquarium and outdoor activities, but the dining options were limited, leading to repetitive meals. Staff were friendly, but the service lagged during busy times.

    amazing pools
    snorkeling adventure
    diverse dining
    attentive staff

    The pools were fantastic, especially for our kids who loved splashing around all day. We particularly enjoyed snorkeling in the Living Reef—an amazing first experience for our family! The dining options were diverse, and the buffet at breakfast had fresh tropical fruits that my children devoured!

    In my wife’s opinion, the staff could improve their attentiveness during meal service.

    wildlife view
    ocean balcony

    Family with children will love it!

    Had an unforgettable experience seeing the turtles from our balcony! My kid was thrilled watching the kangaroos munching grass just outside our room, absolutely priceless!

    It wasn't exactly a bargain, though, but you get what you pay for.

    delicious breakfast
    living reef experience
    comfortable beds
    limited dining options
    disappointing food

    Diving into a buffet of breakfast delights, the Jimmy Dean sandwiches were an absolute winner! Plus, the living reef experience was a thrill for our family—so cool to interact with the fish! Comfortable beds rounded out a delightful stay.

    Only two main dining spots made food options a bit blah. The Inkstone was a letdown. the pasta tasted like a salt lick and the burger? Cold as ice! A tad pricey for basic snacks left me wanting more.

    guided snorkel
    beautiful island
    overwhelmed staff
    long wait times

    The kids loved the guided snorkel in the Living Reef, especially with Tiff's patient guidance. Despite the overwhelmed staff, the fun activities and beautiful island made our family holiday memorable.

    hard beds
    limited dining

    Beds are harder than what might be comfortable for many, potentially ruining a good night's sleep. The shower heads in the bathrooms need an upgrade as they don't provide a satisfactory water flow. Dining options are limited, with only two restaurants available, leading to a need for advanced reservations and presenting food without much care, especially for takeout. Additionally, it can get frustrating when the ocean swimming area requires stinger suits, and the lack of nearby snack service by the pool means more walking just to grab a drink.

    great views and accessibility to parks and marine life

    I enjoyed my stay here, especially with the stunning views of the Living Reef as you dine and the few steps I took to reach Lovers Cove. it truly made my weekend perfect for exploring the beauty of the island and its marine conservation efforts.

    This place suits me perfectly, with free wi-fi, a lovely outdoor swimming pool, and friendly staff. On my first stay, they even helped me with currency exchanges. I’ll be back for my business trip!

    limited dining
    missing room service

    The stay was incredibly relaxing with the perfect pools for unwinding. I especially loved the variety of breakfast options that kept us energized for our adventures. However, room service was not available, and dining options were quite limited. Overall, the friendly staff made up for some of the shortcomings, but more food choices would have been nice.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the serene atmosphere amidst beautiful surroundings, with easy access to the lagoon pool and charming dining areas. The staff were so friendly and helpful, ensuring I felt comfortable during my stay.

    More senior-friendly seating arrangements would be beneficial.

    delicious breakfast
    great seafood buffet
    slow service

    Stunning views, great food

    The place is super pretty with breathtaking views. Breakfast was a feast, and the seafood buffet was definitely the best dining option we tried. Just wish the service was a bit faster at the restaurants. it took ages to order. But overall, a fab trip!

    unique experience
    friendly staff
    limited dining options
    high food prices
    room availability delay

    The living reef and underground viewing room were standout features, offering a unique experience. However, the food options felt limited and pricey, especially for teens, and the wait for our room was unexpectedly long. Activities were somewhat restricted, particularly due to the unpredictable weather, which curtailed our experiences.
