Overall the food is not a highlight, but the main bar is the heart of the resort, and the guests on all-inclusive packages make sure it keeps busy.

"Offers a solid midmarket experience to visitors who usually come on all-inclusive deals. The beaches are narrow around most of the island...the house reef is particularly good for snorkelling" Full review

The standout is Koi, the candelit Japanese restaurant at the end of the jetty where you should request a table right by the water.
