Delicious Dining Experience

I dined at the Infinity restaurant during my stay, and the experience was truly nice. The atmosphere was lovely, and the food was delicious, with generous portions that didn't disappoint. The vibrant flavors and presentation were a delight, making it a fantastic choice for dinner.

Unique Relaxation at Living Reef

Visiting the Living Reef was one of the highlights of my trip. I was able to enjoy guided snorkel tours and interact with marine life, including the amazing Lou-Ann the giant stingray. Participating in underwater yoga and meditation was a unique experience that added a spiritual touch to my stay. It's not just a hotel; it offers an immersive experience with nature that I thoroughly enjoyed.

Comfortable Ocean View

My ocean view superior room was perfect for relaxation. The spacious layout made it easy for us to unwind after a day of exploring. While the balcony was a bit small, the views from the room were uplifting, and the amenities provided all the comforts I needed for a pleasant stay. It felt like a true retreat.

Family-Friendly Fun

As a family, we loved the free activities offered around the resort. The kids had a fantastic time with stand-up paddleboarding and fishing feeding sessions. They even had a blast feeding the stingrays under the guidance of passionate marine biologists. The kids' club provided excellent entertainment, making this a perfect vacation spot for families with young children.

While the staff were friendly and my kids enjoyed the activities, the resort feels underprepared for guests.
