The staff were friendly and welcoming and we were able to get an early check-in to our room which was greatly appreciated. We had a lagoon facing room and the view was stunning. Room for improvement would include the wifi signal as it drops in the bedroom and the common areas, and we also picked up a couple of snorkels where the straps needed some maintenance. The continental breakfast included was ok, quite sweet tooth heavy though.
