Are Children Welcome?
Of Course, and babies too!!! Our wedding would not be complete without the little ones! The resort is very child friendly, offering a kids club for those 4-12. They also have child friendly food in the buffet and offer free cribs.
Do I need a passport?
YES!!!!
Passports can take up to four months to receive, so PLEASE apply early if you plan on attending.
ALL CHILDREN NEED PASSPORTS ALSO! INCLUDING BABIES!!!
Can we swim at the beach?
Yes, the beach at the resort is very beautiful and there are plenty of places to swim. However, nearby is one of the largest coral reefs in the area. Because of this the sand will sometimes have broken coral in it, so aqua socks are recommended at certain spots.
Are there different rooms to choose from?
Yes! You can choose from a junior suite or a club golden junior suite. The only big difference is their location. The club section is much closer to the sea and typically has better views. You also receive a few perks such as bathrobes and slippers, free internet, and a separate check in facility.
When should I book my trip?
You can book your trip at any time. The resort is very large and is made up of 3 resorts to choose from. However, you should book as soon as possible to assure availability.
