10/10 Excellent
"The staff were all absolutely fabulous, there was nothing they wouldn't do for us. The room we had was the premium beach front bungalow, plenty of room for 3 people. The reastraunt had plenty of choice's on the menu for food and drinks. The one thing that made it pleasant was that the staff new your names which makes it more personal.
The only down side was the prices of the wine which I found to be quite expensive. Overall a fantastic resort to stay and relax at."
