Stayed 7 nights in a very nice beachfront room in beautiful gardens and grounds. Quiet and perfect for a relaxing holiday. Staff were welcoming and very helpful. Restaurant was only average & beach loungers and chairs need cushions/sunlounge covers, as very uncomfortable.

Loved the ease of being able step out onto the beach from our room. Our room was very comfortable and spacious with everything one would need. Staff were very helpful, accomodating and friendly. The only slight draw back was the very limited inclusive Tropical breakfast.

We really enjoyed our 2br apartment at Sunset. It was clean and well presented. The pools and gardens are really well kept. But we spent most of our time on the beach, snorkelling in the lagoon and watching the whales go by, amazing! Staff were also very helpful in booking activities and transfers.

Super friendly staff

Beautiful property with super friendly staff. The only draw back was the internet signal was not good at all in the villas. We had to either sot by the pool or got to the provate beach and use 3G/4G. Also could have a bit more variety in breakfast.
