Fodor's Review:
This resort is characterized by a sophisticated style that sets it apart from the nearby competition. The lobby, with pottery and local drums suspended from the walls, is a contemporary study in Caribbean colors with a fountain. The beach is on a point with unobstructed views to the left. Families are a good share of the market, and this resort is solid as far as the tour operators are concerned, with service and food improving each season. Many couples prefer the larger rooms (sans good ocean views, unfortunately) that surround the quiet pool. A Victorian-style wedding gazebo is popular for nuptials.
