Paradise; Fantastic experience!

My family of 5 loved this resort and we had a wonderful time! The beach was great; calm, clear waters, especially in the morning. If you want to see sea turtles, go left and walk alongside the ocean, in the evening, and you will probably see them, sometimes in a group of 5 of more. Just don't touch them, (it's not allowed.)
Breakfast was excellent, lots of fabulous food to choose from, you are making a big mistake if you miss this out! Just beware of the sparrows, (although I don't mind them and think they're just really cute) because they might try to hop onto your plate to take a bit of food.
Pools are great too, there is a very shallow one for small children, with sand at the bottom instead of tiles. There is also a slide for children.
There are two other beaches nearby, Kauna and Hapuna, on the property of 2 other hotels (those hotels were closed when we went there,) and they are absolutely gorgeous. White sand, as soft as flour, great snorkeling, and completely clear, bright blue waters. Just watch out, there are big waves, not too big, but maybe too big for small children.
The hotel was clean, very nice, and yes, I would recommend this hotel to a friend. It was worth the time and money, and overall, a fantastic experience.
