The hotel is very kid friendly. more on TravelPost.com

Seems to be an issue in the Islands, most good management staff come to relax and get away from their Mainland Jobs, then find out that this isn't the place to live, so get there sooner than later, before some morron comes in and ruins the place. more on VirtualTourist

Staff very accommodating. more on Expedia

The grounds and pool area are beautiful, but the crescent-shaped beach was the favorite hangout of our family of four. more on igougo
