This is the fifth year staying at this hotel. It is a lush, quiet and very relaxing resort. It is suitable for adults or older families and ideal to just remove yourself from the stresses of everyday life. The service is unobtrusive but always available with well trained and long term friendly staff. It is immaculately maintained with stunning gardens. The rooms are well proportioned but traditional rather than modern. The only slight negative is that the beach area is a little tight for space but the pools are well designed and not busy and the beach itself is soft sand and beautiful Caribbean blue.
