The resort was simply fabulous, and the staff really excelled themselves. We had a dedicated person to contact in case we needed anything. We had a Water Villa, which was absolutely fantastic, large room, bath on the deck overlooking the ocean. The Water Villas have the added benefit of access to Riviera Restaurant which was much better than the main buffet restaurant. There is plenty to do on Villa Nautica Paradise Island whether you’re in your 20s or getting on a bit! What was so nice about the Island even at 100% occupancy is that it never feels busy.
