Good Breakfast Options

I thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast at Poppy's On The Lagoon. Each morning, I was treated to delicious warmed croissants, tropical fruit, and pancakes. The breakfast was delivered right to my room, which made it feel extra special. Starting my day with that view and those tasty options was a highlight of my stay!

Comfortable and Spacious

The two-bedroom apartment I stayed in was perfect for my family of five. It offered a great lagoon view and was well-equipped with a full-sized fridge and kitchenette, making it easy to prepare light meals. The comfort of the beds and the spacious layout certainly enhanced our overall experience!

Relaxing Pool Area

I loved the three pools at Poppy's. They were clean and provided a lovely escape for relaxation. There was even an adults-only pool, which offered a serene atmosphere. It was a great spot to unwind after a day of exploring.

Great for Families

Poppy's was fantastic for our kids! There were plenty of fun activities like the tree swing and pool toys. My children especially enjoyed using the free kayaks in the lagoon. The kids' pool and family-friendly facilities made for a wonderful family holiday.

Reviews and Ratings

Feedback from previous guests about their experience.

7.4/10

I had a pleasant stay at this mid-level resort. The location is beautiful and quiet, right by the lagoon, and the staff's friendliness made a difference. However, some facilities feel a bit dated, and the meal service can be slow at times. The price felt a bit high for what was offered, especially compared to other options in the area.

I recently enjoyed a week at this resort with my family, and overall, it was a wonderful experience. The accommodations were spacious and comfortable, with a lovely breakfast by the lagoon every morning. The staff was available around the clock to assist us with everything we needed. However, the dinners were a bit pricey and the noise from kids at the family pool could be heard in our rooms, which might not be ideal for those seeking peace and quiet.

I had a mixed experience at this resort. On one hand, the boutique style made for a more personal atmosphere, and I loved the excellent food and fun island night. On the other hand, the check-in process was frustrating, as they misplaced our booking and the service was lacking at times, which left us feeling quite disappointed. Overall, while the resort has great potential and a lovely environment, some operational issues really affected our stay.

Rooms

Our stay at Poppy's was a delightful experience overall. The views from the adult and infinity pools were stunning, and the kayaking in the lagoon was a highlight of our trip. The staff were attentive and helpful with our needs. However, the dining service could improve as some orders took longer than expected, and the lagoon is not suitable for swimming, which was a bit disappointing.
