We have discovered paradise! You normally expect a few compromises when experiencing a great holiday but we can honestly think of nothing which requires change. The accommodation was first rate, the environment absolutely stunningly beautiful and the facilities amazing from the various boat trips for fishing, dolphin watching or the sunset cruise ,to the wonderful spa treatments , to the breathtaking dining experiences of a lagoon breakfast and fisherman’s bbq. Notwithstanding the superb dining and bar facilities. However the best experience was the fantastic care provided by all staff members from dealing with dietary requirements to supplying a wide range of first rate drinks and ensuring all possible needs were met. They are all truly amazing and a credit to the organisation. Thank you. Read less
