DK Eyewitness "The massive grounds invite strolling, and there are three pools, restaurants and bars, and spa, tennis courts, and several watersports."
Star Service "Divi's rooms are a little more rustic, though there are fewer of them, which translates into more solitude. Again, it resides on one of the island's top beaches, a sprawling golden swath of sand." Full review
