Overall, I had a decent stay at this resort. The comfortable garden villa provided a nice escape, though the mosquitos were a bit bothersome. While the activities were on the pricey side, the free snorkelling trips were a nice touch. On the downside, I felt some staff were unhelpful and lacked proper training, which impacted the experience. Still, the beautiful atmosphere and enjoyable meals made it a worthwhile visit.

Musket Cove is a true paradise, offering a beautiful setting with friendly staff and amazing food options. We loved our time here, especially the beach view from our bure and engaging activities like the dolphin safari. However, the Wi-Fi was very weak at the resort, which could be a downside for some guests, and we faced issues with bug bites that could have been better communicated.

I had a lovely stay at this resort, with breathtaking views and a laid-back atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The beach bure we booked was absolutely stunning, and I loved biking around the island and exploring the beautiful grounds. However, the dining experience could use some improvement, as while some dishes were fantastic, others really missed the mark. Overall, it's a great option for a relaxing getaway, but be prepared for a mixed bag when it comes to the food.

Our stay was absolutely delightful! The resort was beautifully designed and well-maintained, with stunning snorkeling options right off the island. The staff truly stood out with their friendliness and eagerness to help. While the prices for meals were on the higher side, being able to bring our own food to grill was a fantastic way to save money. We also enjoyed the great activities included in our package, but the dining experience could’ve offered more variety.
