10/10

We spent 5 nights in a Deluxe room in Feb 2025 and were pleasantly surprised by the size of the room! The bed was comfortable and we loved having the balcony to relax on. All of the staff were wonderful and so helpful. Very short walk to the beach and we appreciated that we had access to chairs at 4 beach clubs (KKO was our favourite). Short walk to Orient Village made dinners really easy. Great stay!

Beach lounge chairs provided. No charge if you use the back row. Required to pay for the lounge chairs in front rows. It appears you Treat people from other resorts better than your own guests.

Upsides...Staff is outstanding. Proximity to the beach is excellent. Parking a positive. Downsides...a bit dated particularly with modern electrical outlets ie no HDMI outlets. Had 2 different units with #1 only one available outlet, Much better with 2nd unit. Also, quite pricey. Would I stay again? Probably.

The special dinners on resort seem pricey but they were incredible. Breakfast we ate mostly at resort was delicious. Rooms are a little dated but nice. Staff on resort were very helpful. Had a couple power outages they were short it was whole area. Had trash pickup from resort next to us woke us up some night. Few minute walk to beach if you want clothing optional end about 30min walk. Really enjoyed my stay here was very quiet and relaxing.

It’s a quiet place and yet a few steps away from the beach, where there are great options for dining if you go further and explore different restaurants available at different spots.
