This is a very nice resort and spa and the staff work hard to treat you well. Our experience was a little different due to the fact the the staff were on strike during our stay. Those who were working bent over backwards to make our stay wonderful. We stayed in a garden bungalow which was beautiful and had a very private back yard with a small pool to cool off in. The food was wonderful and the location was great. A short bike ride to the market and a little further to get to the bays. This resort had very good snorkeling right out in front of the overwater bungalows and we rented kayaks from the resort one day and had a blast.
