We had a wonderful experience at this Sherston. The service was exceptional, with the staff being incredibly kind and helpful. They were also very accommodating and generous, going above and beyond to fulfill our requests. The location was amazing, with a private beach and stunning views of the ocean and nearby islands. The food options were plentiful and delicious, and the breakfast was equally enjoyable. The prices for both drinks and food were reasonable, and there was a great variety to choose from. The only suggestion would be to see some modernization and updates. Overall, we would love to stay here again.
We had an amazing family vacation at Return to Paradise. The resort is situated in a stunning coastal area. Our family stayed in a three-bedroom villa, each equipped with its own bathroom and air-conditioning. The food was quite enjoyable. The rooms were decent. The pools were alright. The cultural evening was fantastic and definitely worth attending, especially with the buffet dinner.
The quaint little village and its inhabitants may seem charming at first glance, but the beach is nothing to write home about. It fails to impress and leaves much to be desired.
We spent a few days in May at a delightful and laid-back resort. The beach was fantastic, and we had access to snorkels, paddle boards, and other amenities. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. While we mostly dined at the on-site restaurant, we also ventured to nearby resorts for a change of scenery. After exploring other resorts during our stay, we were pleased with our decision to choose Coconuts and would definitely stay there again. It had the perfect balance of being upscale yet relaxed, which suited us perfectly.
We had an amazing time at Faofao Beach Fales. The hosts were fantastic, the food was delicious, the price was great, the bed was comfortable, and the snorkeling was incredible. I highly recommend it.
