Great rum tasting experience! - The staff are amazing, the best customer service I have had on the island
We only did the rum tasting, they made it fun, we learned something and had some rum on the way. Session was just long enough to keep everyone engaged.
We had food during our stay, was very tasty and the menu was as expected for a beach bar experience
We stayed on the beach after the rum tasting and took advantage of the free sun beds. The beach is amazing, very quiet amazing view, calm blue waters. Rum cocktails
What more could u ask for !!

Brilliant day! - Brilliant day, rum tasting was interesting, informative and very tasty 😋 Atiya was so funny with her stories and history of the rums. All of the staff are super friendly and helpful, the drinks and food are great quality and very reasonably priced. The beach is beautiful, with well spaced out sunbeds and umbrellas - the beach guy is great. Personally, I think this is a much better day than Carlisle Bay, it is far less busy and much more relaxed. Real bonus having proper showers, changing rooms and lockers.

Interesting And Informative - The tour guide Ayeesha was knowledgeable and informative and the tour was interesting.
On the downside we felt that the tasting portions could have been more generous and that we should have been given the tasting glass as a souvenir, as happens in most wineries in Europe. Otherwise it was an interesting side note to the holiday.
