DK Eyewitness "Guests at this resort are stranded on a breathtaking Pacific island paradise, with a lagoon-style pool and play area, Emeril’s Tchop Chop restaurant (a must for adults), and superior service."
Rough Guide "The comfortable rooms here are decked out in bamboo to enhance the “tropical” theme, while the kids will enjoy the lagoon-style pool. $289."
