United Kingdom
Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The gardens were well kept, the staff were very attentive and the food was ok. Bicycles were available for free and the reef walk was a pleasant break. The room was very pleasant. For those who like to dive there is dive centre attached to the hotel.
Negative: There was an abundance of crows that became very annoying, taking food when they could and generally being very noisy. They have decimated the population of other birds and have caused problems for the hotel staff who try to keep them at bay. The sun loungers on the beach did not recline. If you use a credit card here they charge 5%.
Summary: A good hotel with easy access to the beach.
