The food was awful. Many of the breakfast items at the buffet were cold. The coffee was warm or cold if you didn’t get there when the pots were freshly put out. The food at the two restaurants were below average and they were both a true disappointment especially for the cost. I expect to pay more for food at a resort, but it should be tasty.

The staff make it, they are exceptional especially the marine biologists. Can’t thank them enough and the island has just enough to do for a 4 night stay to keep the kids busy. We willl be back.

Room was neglected- we had ants and cockroaches. The bath was so warn there was a black patch that we covered with a face washer (preventing the water draining through) Food was expensive, kids only eat for free if you dine in-but the restaurants (only two options) were booked out for in house dining and the buffet was terrible (my 8 year old could cook better)
