The hotel is beautifully located view a fantastic view of breathtaking scenery. Nice clean rooms with comfortable beds. Very good food in the restaurant although breakfast is a little bland. Decent gym. Very nice and helpful staff, some are not great at English but they make up for it with a good attitude. I definitely recommend this hotel and would be happy to come back.

Wonderful Hotel with great facilities and an excellent staff. I really enjoyed the restaurant; tasty food done well while I only ate all the cart, I peruse the buffet and it did have quite a large selection of choices. Having both a swimming pool and a beach with its own lagoon was also a treat. I highly recommend this hotel.

Probably the best place on the island. It’s a gorgeous resort. The beach is pristine. It’s really nice that all of that is Japanese style that there is no tipping necessary at all. I thought it was a wonderful value.

The location was walkable to some restaurants but don't expect to snorkel right there. The small lagoon wasn't much and there is too much boat traffic outside the buoy lines. The Blue Marlin dive shop was great though.
