The accommodations, cleanliness and staff are very nice. The lagoon was calm when we visited and it was fun to use the kayaks and the boat tour of the lagoon originating right from the little pier at the hotel was exemplary. The only thing that was a bit annoying was the loud sound of leaf blowers to disturb the calm of this lovely resort so maybe not doing that every day would be so much better or hand raking…
