I had an incredible experience at the resort! The staff truly made my stay memorable with their warm hospitality and willingness to help. My room was absolutely fantastic, boasting a beautiful sea view that made waking up a joy. While the beach and pool areas were enjoyable, the dining options could use some improvement. Overall, it was a luxurious getaway with great amenities, but dining didn't quite meet my expectations.

My stay at the hotel was filled with mixed emotions. While the service and attention to detail were commendable, particularly for children, some significant issues arose, including unexpected beach access restrictions and disappointing dining experiences. The location on Banana Island is breathtaking, providing a paradise feel. Overall, there were highlights like the cake and decorations for my daughter’s birthday, but the lack of proper dining service and unavailability of activities detracted from our experience.

While the island offers various facilities, the closure of the beach was a major letdown. Access to pool and recreational areas is good.

My stay at the hotel was absolutely delightful! The service impressed me right from the moment I arrived on a speedboat, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. The location is simply beautiful, situated on Banana Island with gorgeous views. The food was outstanding, although a bit pricey for some meals. Overall, it was a luxurious experience that I'd love to repeat, though I'd recommend considering dining options carefully to get the best value.

My stay at the hotel was truly wonderful. The staff went above and beyond to make our experience special. The island's beauty is remarkable, and the food was delicious, although a bit pricey. One downside was the absence of alcoholic beverages to pair with meals, which made it tough to extend our stay comfortably. Overall, a fabulous place but a few tweaks could make it perfect.
