Island recharge

Lagoon villa gorgeous. Staff friendly. Loved The Musket Cove Island Bar. Pool lovely (swim up bar, not open all the time). Breakfast ok. It lunch and dinner's were great but pizza was AMAZING and can have delivered to the Island Bar. Resort was clean and beautiful and a fantastic place to rejuvenate and soak in the island vibe. Only downside is at low tide there is NO water at beach infront of the resort. This mean no water craft or swimming for hours throughout the day pending tide times. Otherwise absolutely stunning.

Exceeded expectations.

A surprise welcome by music and singers, check in very efficient, bags taken to Bungalow. Big surprise on arrival at the bungalow the bed was decorated in a message of congratulations on our anniversary in cut pieces of palm frond quite spectacular. After a rest we ventured over to the Dining area and were welcomed by the staff who gave us all about meals. The meals were exciting and were large, the salad bar in the evening had every possible vegetable the choice was good. The breakfast omelets very filling and were just great. The whole resort was very tidy and when you consider the rain and wind thanks to the cyclone off Vanuatu the resort was very tidy in all we would recommend this resort to any one looking for a relaxing stay
