Tasty Breakfast!

The breakfast selection at the Holiday Inn was good, featuring everything from freshly cooked eggs to delicious bacon and fruit. I truly enjoyed indulging in the omelette station, and the fresh coconut water was a refreshing touch. It’s a great way to start the day before exploring the resort’s activities.

Kids Club Fun

During my stay, my kids absolutely loved the Kids Club. It was fantastic to have a space open from 8 AM to 9 PM that engaged them with activities while I enjoyed some relaxation time by the pool. The staff were enthusiastic, making it a highlight of our trip.

Refreshing Spa Day

I treated myself to a 'mother-daughter pamper package' at the spa, which was excellent! The ambiance was inviting, and the treatments rejuvenated both of us. It was a lovely way to take a break from our busy days of activities.

Water Sports Galore

I was thrilled with the range of complimentary water sports available! We spent hours kayaking and sailing catamarans on the lagoon, with life jackets provided, ensuring safety while having fun. The experience truly made our stay lovely!

I had a pleasant stay at the resort, enjoying the beautiful lagoon and pool areas that were well-kept. The staff were lovely and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. However, the dining options could be improved, as the breakfast variety was limited and repetitive. Additionally, the accommodation had some issues with dampness, which was a significant downside for my stay.

The Holiday Inn offers a great family-friendly experience with attentive service and a beautiful lagoon setting. Kids eat free and there are plenty of activities to keep them entertained, like the kids club and movie nights. However, some areas, such as room cleanliness and dining service, could use improvement, particularly during busy times.

6.6/10

My stay at the resort was quite mixed. While the surroundings were beautiful and the overwater bungalows spacious and clean, the outdated rooms and disappointing food left me wanting more. The service is friendly, but there were times when it felt insufficient for the number of guests. If you're looking for a picturesque location and a relaxing time, it might be worth a visit, but don't expect top-notch amenities.

Rooms

The overwater bungalow was spacious and clean but definitely in need of an update. It felt tired and outdated, with appliances and fixtures that showed their age.

Service

While the staff were generally friendly and made me feel welcome, the service could be inconsistent at times, especially when it came to assisting with requests.

The resort is in a beautiful location, right over the water, which was remarkable. It’s a lovely spot for relaxation, but not exactly near the main town.

Dining

5.0

The dining experience was somewhat disappointing, with limited local food options and meals that were not always hot. Breakfast had promise but could use a bit more variety.

Facilities

The facilities included lovely pools and a tranquil beach area, perfect for lounging. However, they felt a bit underutilized as the overall upkeep could be improved.
