About

All-inclusive, beachfront resort with airy quarters & a dive centre, plus 12 restaurants & bars.

Big Mama Mercie runs this place like she's hosting family, and the all-inclusive food spread is exceptional at the buffet and grill—just skip the Italian restaurant, which needs work. The beach is clean, uncrowded, and feels private even though it's not, and Sofi on staff will make sure you feel taken care of.
