I had high expectations, but Paradise Island was even better than I had hoped it would be. From the moment you arrive, the service is excellent. Nish from reception helped us plan our whole stay. We were able to check into our room early and were also given a bottle of champagne and a cake at dinner on my husband's birthday. We opted for the haven villa and loved the jacuzzi and steps to the ocean. We saw sharks, fish and stingrays in the water daily. The scuba diving center was also great and the instructor explained everything so well. We really enjoyed snorkeling too, but I would advise you bring your own snorkeling gear because the equipment from the aqua shop wasn't the best. Since we had paid for the snorkeling adventure and went out on a boat to other sites, the instructor had extra gear that he lent us. I really appreciated how prepared they were with extra gear. It was truly the dream vacation I always hoped for!
