Great relaxing holiday young children. There was a huge kids' swimming pool, great playground, kayaking, wildlife. Overall, a restful holiday. The marine suite was highly suitable apart from an impractical kitchenette, but we would fully self cater next time as eating out for dinner was expensive for young families. Mozzies can be a problem apparently but we were untroubled by them. The lagoon water level is low so it is not as picturesque as the brochures would suggest.
Not a glitzy resort but great to unwind and have days full of swimming, cycling and kayaking.

Liked: Nature, beach and pools.
Disliked: Difficult eating out with young kids - not many options.
Would you recommend this hotel: Yes
