Delicious Dining Options

The food at Fire & Stone restaurant was quite enjoyable! We found the meals to be generous in portion sizes and really tasty. Although slightly pricey, it was worth it given the beautiful surroundings and the quality of the dishes. We truly savored every bite during our family meals.

Amazing Dolphin Feeding

Feeding the wild dolphins was absolutely mind-blowing! It was such a magical experience seeing these beautiful creatures up close, playing and interacting in their natural habitat. I would highly recommend not missing this activity during your stay.

Family-Friendly Activities

The playground for kids is a great feature of the resort! My toddler loved playing there, and the calm waters of the beach were perfect for him to splash around without feeling overwhelmed. There were also plenty of recreational options for the whole family.

I had a mixed experience at this resort. The location was stunning, tucked away and serene, just a short ferry ride from the mainland. However, I was let down by the room's cleanliness on arrival and the overall dated look of the accommodations. The staff was friendly and helpful, but the dining options left a lot to be desired considering the high prices. The resort has great potential, but it feels like some areas need more attention.
