Great value for money!
Pros:

Big spacious lovely unit with a nice view. Having full kitchen and washing machine was awesome.
Was a bit worried about the noise from the restaurant/bar onsite but it wasn’t an issue at all - in fact it was lovely sitting on the deck in the evening listening to the live music and it was all quiet by 8.30pm. To top it off the food and drinks there were excellent. Great snorkelling straight out in front of the resort too.

Cons:

Could do with a bit of a paint touch up and tidy up outside and replacing some broken outdoor furniture. Booked it to accomodate 4 adults but the sofa beds in the lounge were not comfortable and the one bathroom could only be accessed awkwardly through the main bedroom.

Super friendly manager
Pros:

The manager Loretta was amazing! Probably the best thing about the resort other than a great bar and location

Cons:

Rooms are dated, more of a backpackers style but has what you need. Mozzies are active at this resort too because of the beautiful gardens

Pros:

Excellent position, lovely quiet beach. Friendly helpful staff.

Cons:

The rooms are very dated, not worth the cost. Seaview a bit descriptive could see but tucked away in a corner at the back of the property. Hard to get a good night's sleep with dogs running around barking all night, when they finally stopped it was the turn if the roosters....waking the dogs up to start barking again.

Pros:

Tranquil with a nice pool area and beachfront.
Helpful and lovely staff
Nice bar and restaurant

Cons:

I guess optional to upgrade continental breakfast to a full breakfast should me available.
You can anyway buy eggs or groceries, cook them in the room and complete a good breakfast.
