The hotel offers huge and very comfortable rooms but shouldn't be sold as Ocean-view rooms since they all look onto the Bar. The service was welcoming and very polite, with staff showing great hospitality. The location is relatively near the airport and 20 minutes from the center of Kralendijk, but there were some beer caps on the floor. The dining experience was one of the best at an all-inclusive resort. Overall, a pleasant stay with some room for improvement.

My stay at the hotel was delightful! The rooms, although a bit outdated, were generously spacious and always kept clean. I loved being on the lagoon side with daily visits from local iguanas, but there were quite a lot of mosquitoes around. The service was top-notch, with a professional and welcoming staff that made our dive experience truly enjoyable. The location, close to the Tucan Diving Centre and with the opportunity for shore diving, was a diver's paradise. However, the dining experience was a bit disorganized, requiring guests to handle their own water and cutlery. Overall, a great value for money stay with a few minor drawbacks.
