Staying at this hotel was a delightful experience. The individual cottages were much larger than they seemed, clean, and very comfortable. The environment was peaceful, and the quick pool nearby added to the relaxation. However, the lack of a fridge in the room was a downside as the maid left only a 1 litre bottle of water daily.

The hotel had basic but clean and comfortable rooms. The service was friendly but sometimes got out of control. The location was good with some shopping nearby, but snorkeling was challenging due to a strong rip tide. The dining experience offered many choices but had some timing issues. Overall, it was a decent stay with room for improvement.

I had a pleasant experience at the hotel. The location was fantastic, right by the beach and convenient for excursions. The rooms were cozy and located near the quiet pool, though there was some early morning noise issue. The service was excellent with helpful staff and great entertainment. The dining options were satisfying, especially the breakfast spread. However, there were ongoing constructions nearby, and the noise could be bothersome at times.

The hotel had a prime location close to popular attractions like Blue Hole and Dunns River Falls. The rooms, though slightly small, were clean and served their purpose well. The service from the Animacion crew was exceptional, creating a vibrant and social atmosphere. While the dining experience had some minor hiccups in timing, the overall facilities were satisfactory.

The hotel is located in a great spot with access to the beach and offers a spacious room. The food is good but could use some improvement in variety. The service is excellent, especially from the friendly bar staff, though there are areas that could be updated for a more relaxing stay.

The room facing the beach with steps down to a small cove was really spacious but could benefit from updating. The shared outside space with another cottage was a bit of a drawback as people would often gather nearby, affecting privacy.

I stayed in room number 45, one row back from the seafront and near the quiet pool. The location was great for venturing out of the resort, close to shops and local bars. The service was fantastic, with staff always happy to help. The dining was hit and miss, with breakfast being the better meal of the day. The rooms could use some updating, but the view of the beach and shared outside space was lovely.

The hotel rooms were comfortable and spacious, though we faced some issues with mosquito presence and non-functional air conditioning, which took a while to resolve. However, the staff members, like Tevin and the entertainment team, were genuinely friendly and respectful, enhancing our overall experience. The parking area seemed unkempt, but the greenery surrounding the location was pleasant. The dining experience had its downsides with items often running out, yet the option for custom preparation was appreciated.
