Excellent for a family or quiet get away. Food is delicious, property is walkable with plenty of activities to do or not. 😆 The snorkeling a is fantastic as is the ride on the glass bottom boat. Guests are like family most people we met have come here for at minimum 5-20 years. Lots of repeat customers speaks for itself.

Secret gem! It was not overpacked with obnoxious, drink people that ruin your vacation - it was a true vacation of relaxing days. Food was incredible! Staff were friendly and attentive. The beaches were in a cove like area and made for perfect beach days. We didn’t need a nanny as our youngest is 16 but seeing all the Nannies with the kids it looks like an amazing free service!

Had a lovely time at this smaller low key family resort. The staff were amazing, friendly and helpful.Direct access to a long beach , water good for swimming ( more waves than Negril, so more fun for me). Very homey , good for families. Cycled every morning, beach volleyball, ping pong. The food was good if you stick to the jamaican cuisine( of course), and only buffet and grill available for most of our stay. Clean comfortable rooms, overall a great experience.

We have two under two, and this resort gave us an opportunity to relax for the first time in two(ish years). The resort is designed for kids, highchairs abound. Every person who worked there seemed to learn our kids names. We primarily used the nanny during their nap times and it was absolutely perfect. We will go back!
