This hotel is like a dream come true! The rooms blend the best of a hotel room with the amenities of a villa, making it easy to live in. Unpacking was a breeze, and the front porch overlooking the bay with a small yard was a delightful touch. The cooler equipped golf cart added a fun and convenient touch to the stay.

The location was a paradise on Earth! Situated on the former Club Med land just north of Governor's Harbour, it was an ideal base for exploring. The view of the bay was breathtaking, and the resort's position for snorkeling and kayaking was just perfect.

The dining experience was superb! The food was top-notch, and the wine selection was impressive. I only wish there were a few more tools in the kitchen for a self-prepared meal.
