I love the fact the staff was really nice and trying their best to understand our needs even though they didn't know much English.They were very accomodating and very pleasant and inviting....Unfortunately, I didn't like there wasnt enough food selections to choose from, nor was there alot of activites to do on the resort.

The entertainment staff was amazing. They new all our kids and even the adults and what days we were staying. They were genuine and warm. Almost all wait staff were wonderful. The bartenders were the least friendly. Excellent value resort. Small and family friendly.

The reef provides a barrier to the ocean waves most of the time. Could actually swim in the Caribbean Ocean. The Buffet Restaurant is absolutely spectacular, with various foods and always fresh salad fixings.
