This was, without question, our best vacation as a family we have ever had. First, the resort is stunningly beautiful. The North Beach is on par with anything we saw on La Digue or Prasline. The grounds are also located in the heart of a mangrove forest, which was way more beautiful—and interesting--than I could have imagined. Second, there was plenty to do. Nada, Ruby, and Darrel took us on 3 great, moderately challenging hikes through rain forests ON THE PREMISIS, including a kayak tour of the mangrove forest. The intriguing Dr. Markus took us on a walking tour of that same forest, answering all of our questions. Tennis, racquetball, paddle, SAPs, kayaks, and paddleboats, and snorkeling – without additional cost. The in-resort zip line (12 segments through rainforest and ravines which compete with anything you’ve seen) was worth the cost. A huge advantage of this premises was our teenagers could explore around on their own without us worrying about them. Third, from the first moment Soukaina and Clara met us at the reception, the entire staff went WAY out of their way to be helpful. The only significant downside of our stay is that the meals are expensive and there is nowhere else to buy food (spare one nearby restaurant which is not much cheaper) in the entire vicinity. That said, the food itself was superb. The buffet had significant variation every night of the week and was easy for vegetarians to navigate. The restaurants were especially good and meals well plated.
