The whole stay was like a dream, dolphins swimming around all day, sea turtles, eagle Rays and massive Pelicans.
The garden room we stayed in was superb and the staff were friendly, helpful and full of smiles. I would recommend 4 days there to everyone.

How in the world do you rate perfection?? This piece of paradise was over and above our expectations. Accommodation and grounds were pristine throughout the entire resort. The staff were both knowledgable and professional...always a smile on their faces!!! Special thanks to Eric & Mary (gift shop) and the lovely gal (Joanna) who narrated the dolphin morning feeding experience on 2 occasions while we were there.
Truly an incredible resort for those of all ages. We would highly recommend this "gem".

What a stunning place. My only observation is that the general store doesn’t stock much if you fly in and don’t want to eat in the two restaurants. However the monkey bar food was excellent.
You really need a car to travel up and down the coast to see the secluded bays and beaches.
We did a boat excursion which was excellent. The dolphin experience was great to.

Amazing Stay
Our family had a great one-night stay. The accommodation was less than 400m away from the dolphin viewing experience area. The bed was comfortable and the kitchenette is well-equipped. The restaurant on-site served great steaks and seafood.
