Rooms good (although a mix up with agent left us with a sour taste). Facilities are excellent. Staff are superb. Spa was one of the best. Food was a complete disaster, not the actual food but waiting. We waited over 1 hour on average for food, waited on average around 15 minutes for water and drinks to the table (ended up self serving when i could). Buffet meats took ages, eggs and pancakes at breakfast were also slow with a queue everytime. On the basis of the amount of time wasted waiting for food i would probably not come again. The local band, the 5 guys was superb and throughly enjoyable. The lounge lacked atmosphere i have experienced at other resorts. The coral, the water and the feeling of paradise is undeniable - if the food had been delivered quicker then this would have rated as a top destination, food experience is so key at a resort like this and must be made better.
