The island is beautiful, the staff is multicultural and very kind and helpful in every way (shout out to Gabriel, and Maxxi). Our kids loved feeding the kangaroos and the stingray ($50 paid separately) in a immerse experience. The island also offer kayak, stand-up, catamaran and snorkelling at no extra costs any day up to 3pm. Snorkelling at lover's cove is a must-do, specially if the sea is calm....

Awesome spot for 4 nights with the family . Kids/teens loved the island and activities. All the staff we met were very friendly. Living reef was fantastic and it was fun to sit by the reef at meals. Food was all good quality, for a family style venue. Our room was great I think we were lucky with the position we stepped out to the 2 main pools.

With these improvements, the resort has the potential to become a truly family-friendly vacation destinati...

A shout out to these pe...

No explanation at check in and we did not know until we went to our rooms. Reception blamed the back office. Unable to move us as they were full! Three of the five rooms had issues with either air conditioning or tv. Multiple calls and v...
