I chose this hotel for the convenience of snorking . Out standing dives every day new location and diversity in coral and sea creatures. Dive master really knew his stuff and took excellent care and safety. The food and accommodation were excellent. Very nice large rooms and modern and large bathroom. The staff was so nice.

We loved staying here. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. We were always taken care of. Make sure to check your bill. If you are traveling with others they may charge food or drinks to the other room. Just stay on top of what is being charged to which room. Other than that it was a great experience.

I loved the rooms and the service. Everyone was very pleasant and the environment was tranquil and pristine....until the bats made their presence known. There were no less than 300-400 bats in the trees on the property. It wasn't terrible because they are nocturnal and just stayed in the trees. However, if you have a fear of bats I would advise against staying here. The food was phenomenal and the service was impeccable. Very convenient location. The concierge set up everything for us, from diving to hiking to meals. You have to tell the concierge the day prior what you want for dinner because all of the food is bespoke.

The place is infested by bats. The noise was so bad that we couldn't sleep for the 2 nights of our stay. Never again.

Nice hotel with friendly service. The restaurant did have a very limited menu for lunch or dinner. To insure the availability of your meal choices, you had to make a reservation and choose your appetizer, entree and desert, no later than 11:00 a.m. that morning. If you didn't, you choices might not be available.

Not a bad spot
This place is fine if you’re looking for some average accommodation. Staff were pleasant and the view is great. Right near the date line and ferry, however a fair drive to the fall etc.

Would happily go back
Overall the place is very nice and fairly clean. We had a couple of issues but the staff are exceptionally friendly and sorted out our issues quite quickly. The main thing that wasn't great was the blinds aren't black out at all and at night if the room lights are on inside you can see straight through them from outside/ anyone walking along the beach.

Wonderful place with friendly and attentive staff. Everyone there knew my name and i felt very at home! Good food, clean rooms, great dive trips, i would happily recommend this place to friends and would return in a heart beat! It was hard to leave! Only down side was paid wifi that was pretty spotty, but that is an issue everywhere on the island i guess.

Great staff
I stayed a week for diving & had an extremely pleasant experience. The entire staff was friendly, attentive, & very professional. The dive operation was the same. Very safe & professional dive masters. Service & food was also great at the onsite bar/restaurant. Rooms were Ocean Front & very reasonably priced. Great access to the Rainbow Reef Dive sites. Overall a great value & vacation.
