Really nice one week in a beautiful hotel
Pros:

We liked the room very much, it was really nice. The few beaches which are belong to the hotel was okay, but nothing special. It worth to walk a few minutes to Turtle Bay which is much better for snorkeling. It belongs to another resort, but on the public beach part nobody cared that we are there. Obviously we couldn't use their facilities.
All the restaurants we tried were nice, the staff was really kind and very friendly. The selection of food was quite good, both for breakfast and dinner we could find something which are not too spicy.

Cons:

On the first day we arrived there were a lot of mosquitoes in the room, maybe somebody left the door open. After few days we found all of them and we watched the doors keeping them outside.

Pentru mine a fost exact ce aveam nevoie, cu un plus pe partea de frumusete si eleganta a amenajarii
Pros:

Am apreciat amplasarea hotelului, care permitea accesul facil pe plaja indiferent de locul cazarii. Chiar daca este o plaja stancoasa, este deosebit de frumoasa, iar amenajarea hotelului pune in valoare aceasta frumusete. Laguna este ca un acvariu natural. Personalul este amabil fara a fi intruziv. Cat priveste mesele, mi-a placut faptul ca am avut optiuni alternative de restaurant pentru micul dejun, cu stiluri si oferta diferita, precum si intervalul generos incepand cu o ora matinala, in care a putut fi luat micul dejun. Un decor minunat si la restaurantul amplasat in vecinatatea plajei (Noble House).

Overall a lovely experience where you can relax and let your hair down
Pros:

Sugar island and the sun beds along the beach as well as the buffet and restaurants on the property were all amazing. Really enjoyed our stay and time at the spa and pool. Enjoyed the music entertainment each night as well as the disco nights. Staff are also lovely and attentive.

Cons:

You can’t really kayak or paddle boat. There’s only about a 10m x 10m area where you can kayak.
The bar wasn’t consistent with the drinks but they were still good. The pools also weren’t deep at all so you can’t really swim but still great to relax and sit at the pool bar.

Please change or upskill your reception
Pros:

The territory is enough spacious, though the beach is with lots of stones, still can find an occupation at pool or ping-pong or volleyball/tennis. Place looks great for snorkling and diving as lagune is finishing very close.

Cons:

Reception ladies look to not be very professional: extremely slow, not speaking French, despite notification to not disturb during baby day nap they decided to call us to room several times with unclear reasons

Comfortable but disappointing.
Pros:

The pool area, for there is not really a beach or sea to swim in.

Cons:

The food (especially dinner) does not compare to some of the other resorts. Very little choice of salads and fresh products.
