We were a family of 6 adults staying for 10 nights in 3 separate rooms (including a suite). After booking this holiday some time ago we became a little apprehensive after reading some of the recent mixed reviews. Let me say from the outset however that our fears were unfounded and we had an absolutely fabulous time.||All of our rooms were in the renovated section and were clean, new and lovely. Yes sometimes the showers were only warm rather than hot, and we had a couple of issues with a door lock, but these were only minor issues and were quickly rectified. The suite was very spacious with a separate sitting area and large bathroom, and came with the bonus of accessing the Warwick Club each afternoon for afternoon tea and pre-dinner drinks and canapes - which were free flowing and tasty.||We had some rain during our stay but used those days to utilise the spa or travel to Singatoka, or do other excursions. The activities staff also do a great job of keeping everyone occupied on wet days. ||Adult pool area was great (and quiet) and we had no issues getting sun lounges either around the pool or on the beach, depsite the resort being totally full due to school holidays. We never waited at any bar for drinks. Our (adult) children loved the local cats and dog which hung out there every day.||We tried every restaurant in the resort, and were not disappointed with any of them. Yes it can get expensive if you are adding bottles of wine, but most of the meals were not that much more expensive than you pay in Australia. Beef was bit more expensive ($50AUD roughly for a steak) but there are plenty of cheaper options on the menus. Even at Wicked Walu (which is a must do experience) there were mains available for around the $30-35AUD mark. We didn't have an issue booking into any of the restaurants, even if it was same day, but we did have to take later bookings if we did not get in early.||Snorkelling was fantastic and directly off the beach in front of the resort but take your own mask and snorkel - limited supplies were available at the resort and you could only have them for 30 minutes. We found we didn't need reef shoes.||So yes the resort was lovely but what will have us coming back next year are the people. The staff are just beautiful, happy and wonderful people who look after you like family. To Seriana, Wame, Ben, Wana, Ma, Iffy, Aliparte, Asela, King David, Epile and everyone else - thank you for making our stay so very special.||All in all it was one of the best family holidays we have had!
