We had such a wonderful week in paradise! The view from our beachfront suite was absolutely worth the upgrade, and the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly throughout our stay. However, there was a hiccup at the beginning with my booking being changed without communication, and despite this, the fantastic restaurant staff made up for it. Overall, it was an amazing experience, just a few food options could improve.

We had an amazing 7-day holiday at the Sanctuary, where the staff was incredibly helpful and the accommodation was fantastic. Our room had a lovely view of the lagoon, and the daily continental breakfast was one of the best we've ever had. We enjoyed the delicious dinners too, although our peaceful experience was slightly disrupted by loud guests. Overall, the location is perfect for a relaxing getaway, but make sure to keep an eye out for rowdy visitors.
