Not the best place to go to for the price you pay. Over rated. We had issues with our room and dining options aren’t great only two over priced places for lunch with limited options.

The island, resort and facilities are absolutely divine. The staff were all brilliant and so helpful and friendly. We came away feeling really pampered and special. It was the perfect way to celebrate our 30th Wedding Anniversary and our Pool Room was just gorgeous. It was all beyond our wildest dreams. BamBam restaurant was amazing with big serves and even bigger smiles. The Seafood Buffet was underwhelming but our booking wasn't until 8pm so the food was a little dry and lobster had been on ice for so long that it was quite hard to get out of the shell. Other than that - it was heavenly!
