I had a wonderful holiday at Plantation Island Resort, with pristine beaches and several activities for the whole family. The rooms were modern and clean, which added to our overall comfort, though I believe the food options could use improvement. The service from the restaurant staff was exceptional, making our experience memorable. The resort has potential for even more with upcoming developments, but some issues with food quality and staff morale were noticeable.
