Our family of 5 ate at this restaurant one night and it catered for all tastes. It had a bustling atmosphere and was fine for a quick meal. It was slightly more expensive than a similar restaurant you might find in the city but I guess it takes a bit of effort to get the produce out that far. A... More

You have an issue in the resort that everything is owned by Voyages, so they have you as a captive audience. We chose Geko's for a cheaper dinner - burgers and similar, and we totally happy with the food. There is also a takeway attached to the cafe that offers limited Chinese and Indian food, again reasonable quality and quite... More

The hot chips are great, and the staff are so friendly. They are closed from 2:30 - 5:30 though, so make sure you get there on time. Also, the burger was amazing. More

This was the temporary breakfast location for our Sails hotel. The breakfast was a very ordinary buffet with a few hot and cold choices. It was about 2* in quality, hence the 2 rating here. More
