Fabulous spot with wide verity of wild life. Amazing snorkeling spot and bird watching. Food variety was a problem but you could hop on the ferry for free and drop down to the restaurant at Moselle Bay and have great food!

The staff went out of their way to help us. The Spa with Ocean views and fresh air was So relaxing....especially after multiple airline and taxi delays. Snorkeling within the shark net did allow me to see some good fish.

The hotel is located in a remarkable spot just on the other side of beach in Lemon Bay. Just cross the two lane street (pay attention to the first lane - they drive on the right side) and voila “the beach”. With perfect weather you can spend all day there and then return to your hotel room to freshen ...
