Life's a Beach
According to countless reviews, this is the island's
best beach. With remarkable views and a water sports programme unaffected by
changing tides, you can sleep on a sumptuous sun lounger, stroll on soft, white
sands, cool off in crystal clear-waters, and make new friends around the
firepit.

Negative Reviews
negative:
Chaotic Breakfast Buffet
A number of reviewers express disappointment regarding the breakfast buffet. Some staff seemingly aren't morning people, accused on occasion of apathetic attitudes, disorganisation and slow service. The restaurant can become extremely chaotic and reviewers are routinely annoyed that offerings are not readily replenished.
negative:
Trouble in Paradise
Occasionally, a guest has their stay sullied by disturbances from noise. Clanging service carts and sound from a nearby highway annoy some, while the din of ongoing construction work disappoints others. Loud music from private parties can play long into the night and spoil the serenity.
negative:
Luke-Warm Welcome
A handful of arrivals are underwhelmed by what they deem a less-than-5-star welcome. A warm beer at the airport followed by an uncomfortable two-hour journey by bus gets things off to a bad start. Problems with the self-check-in tablets and unready rooms have perplexed some arriving guests.
