Breakfast Bliss

The breakfast at Carlisle Bay is genuinely fantastic, with a wide range of options and the ambiance of being seated right in front of the stunning beach. The staff were happy to adapt our meal selections to our preferences, and they even provided food containers so we could take our breakfast to the beach!

Water Sports Fun

The water sports activities were an absolute highlight! I had a blast on the water bikes-an experience unlike any other resort I've visited. The non-motorized water sports available were free, and the beach staff were eager to help, ensuring we had an very nice time out on the water.

Spacious Ocean Suites

I was thrilled with our Ocean Suite, which was large and beautifully equipped with a private balcony. Every detail in the room was well thought out, making it very comfortable for our family. The complimentary mini-bar was a good bonus, with everything replenished regularly!

The location is stunning, right by the beach, but the service felt lacking, with some staff not quite matching the expectations. The dining options were decent, but I wished for more attention to detail in the food service. Overall, while there were highlights, it's clear there's room for improvement.
