great service nice group
the staff provided great customer service. the hotel has a convenient spot. the food was delicious and the drinks are very nice. the group of people here are the nicest. the service is what sets this place apart from other hotels.
guests must be careful crossing the street if staying on the adults only side. the restaurant and beach are located across the street. this is a slight inconvenience.

The hotel was very clean and tidy. Staff were friendly. I enjoyed the Bajan, Indian and continental cuisine offered in the two restaurants.
The beach was small and had limited sunbeds. I found the food service to be poor at times. The night time entertainment was not excellent with one exception.
