MANA Island - the deluxe ocean view Bure perfect for a couple or parents with 1 child... The new dbl story ocean suites ideal for bigger family. The Lovo feast buffet dinner is a must and the food was very tasty and much better than other on the island. The Southbeach restaurant was average, room service pizza was ideal for a night in. Mana was perfect for the snorkeling, the beautiful clear blue water and white sand....

The villas open onto the big lagoon pool in the centre
Westin - trendy with not many kids
"Steakhouse" restaurant is a must

Sofitel - great pool area for kids with a slippery slide, beach access but black sand
