Frommer's Review

This remote, 40-hectare (99-acre) resort on Mamora Bay on two sand beaches tries for glamour, but it falls far behind Carlisle Bay, Curtain Bluff, and Jumby Bay, and it doesn't have the state-of-the-art maintenance of those properties, either. Midrange package tours from Britain and America continue to fill many of the rooms on occasions. The sports facilities are among the Caribbean's best. Some of the rooms are standard and medium-size, but others are spacious. The resort has never been able to escape the architectural curse of its former existence as a somewhat banal-looking Holiday Inn. Despite that, all units have sliding-glass doors that open onto private balconies or patios. Pricey two-bedroom villas and hillside homes are also available. If you're looking into a package all-inclusive deal, be aware that the cuisine here is merely average.

Facilities: 4 restaurants; 5 bars; 4 outdoor pools; dance club; 6 tennis courts; fitness center; spa facilities; watersports; deep-sea fishing; marina; kids' playground; room service; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
