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.

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.
