It was friendly, helpful staff that made all the difference. The quality of the food was also better than expected from a 3.5 star organisation. And a 4 wheel drive bus tour we took to the south end of the island was well handled by the driver who also excelled at making it an informative, fun and safe trip

Overall very good. I'd recommend the ATV track. Nor that it's a bad thing, but it's not like North American resort where there are more food options. It's more like a food court with limited options. I'd highly recommend bringing at least some of your own food.
