The style and vibrant colour of the buildings are inspired by the local culture and feature some wonderful architecture. It is so amazing that it reminds me of the colonial era I have seen on TV and in magazines.

The cool start is when you are checking-in at reception, you can just take your clothes off and slides down the bar to get your welcome drinks (ensure you have your swimsuit on). They have built an amazing waterslide that leads down from reception straight to the pool below. The pool is a fun place to hang with regular pool activities such as water aerobics. The pool is a generous size and is located directly on the beach, with stunning views of the lagoon.
