Loved this place! Easy to get to from the port, the pool was a good size, plenty of places to sit around. Super social, the reps really make an effort shoutout Nico, Paddy, Ryan & Janine, we made friends straight away and always felt looked after and safe. Showers were clean, never had any issues. Staff were lovely and kind. We extended to stay for the boat party and so glad we did. Would definitely stay again

Really pretty pool and delicious free breakfast, but there was barely any hot water (when there was, it was sporadic). The AC also was not a configurable temperature so we kept having to turn it on and off throughout the night because it would get too cold then too hot then too cold again etc. It was nice that there was AC though, and the locker space was enormous which was really nice too, along with there being drying racks set up outside each section of rooms for swimsuits and towels.
