Excellent location as it sits on the Caribbean but has a lagoon in the back of the property that is perfect for snorkeling. Across the lagoon from resort is Mambo beach which has a 2 floored mall with lots of shops and restaurants. All within walking distance!!

Our children loved the pools and beach. Snorkeling was great just at our lagoon. Most of the staff was friendly. They helped with ordering taxis and when we needed an extra blanket. The pool bar was nice to have and the restaurant next door is excellent! We ate there several times. Close to mambo beach and many other restaurants and shops. Would definitely stay again.

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful property that’s clearly well cared for—everything felt clean, fresh, and inviting from the moment we arrived. The staff were consistently friendly and helpful, always ready with a smile or a quick assist. The snorkeling was a highlight—crystal-clear water and plenty to see just steps away. Having the pools, hot tub, and ocean all in one place made it easy to relax or switch things up throughout the day without going far. Location is another big win—it’s an easy walk to a great mix of shops and restaurants, so you can explore without needing to plan much. Overall, a seamless, relaxing stay with just the right balance of convenience and beauty.
