We stayed at Return to Paradise Resort as a family of 2 adults and 2 young children (1 and 4 years old). The room was very spacious, and the surroundings were beautiful. 🌴🌺 We attended the buffet dinner and show, which was okay, but the food was mostly Western-style. We were hoping for more traditional island dishes, especially pork. We arrived around 7pm, and some food trays were empty, with long waits for refills. This is something they could improve. The beach was quite rough for our little ones, so we had to find safer spots to enjoy the water apart from the pool. Would we visit again? Probably not, but it was still a family experience and a memory we will treasure for a lifetime. ❤️

Beautiful spot. Rooms are clean and all so close to the beach. Our toddler loved the pool and the rock pools in the ocean. Service was hit and miss a times but was so relaxing to be there.

We loved our stay at Return to Paradise Resort. They upgraded our room to an Ocean front and that was a lovely surprise. We did feel that the meals and tours were overpriced but other than that we would recommend this property to anyone. The day spa is nice and it was a very tidy well cared for resort. Highly recommend the Fiafia night. My Spa therapist kept falling asleep through the massage, but the massage she did do was good. A lot of noise with the Ocean and breaking waves so if you want quiet choose a garden room they are more peaceful.

We loved our room which had cooking facilities. Marble floors and marble bathroom. Very luxurious. On closer inspection some maintenance issues emerged. Nothing happened when we asked for a seat to be fixed. It took nearly 24 hrs to get the TV working. We would have loved breakfast but unfortunately it wasn't included in our very expensive room rate. In future I will try to get a package deal. Loved the buffet evening with the brilliant string band. Amazing voices. Lovely staff.

Be prepared for an instable wifi if you want to connect with outside families and friends or colleagues. Customer service can be challenging. Spa was the highlight and the food was the best of the three hotels we stayed prior to Return to Paradise. Breakfast was delicious and always fresh local fruits. The beach was an icon to capitalise on.

Beautiful location with little beach and rock pools for exploring. Pool was dated and unappealing. Great bar on the waters edge with sunset views. Buffet dinner and show was overpriced and boring. Did offer some free activities like crab racing, movies and church excursions. Room was ok but had no ambience and was dated with some things needing replacing like our rusty clothes airer. Food and room expensive for what we got and that was without breakfast included. Did get a small welcome drink on arrival.

Breakfast was delicious, however not included if you booked through Expedia. Barista made coffee was amazing. Great coffee art. Location, unbeatable 10/10. Picturesque views. 4 pools to swim and the beach. Stayed in the 3 bedroom villa. So spacious, clean and tidy. Three bathrooms as well. No laundry, hotel can do your laundry for you at 35tala per bag or you can use laundromat on main road for 10tala and dry for 12 tala. Overall had a pleasant experience, very relaxing atmosphere. Return to Paradise is definitely Paradise. Recommend for all, you wont be disappointed.

Staff was excellent. Room was very nice, location was terrific. Very clean, very professional. Very nice stay overall. Beach was beautiful. Only issues we had were with our air conditioning unit having a broken fan that made a loud grating noise on every start stop (blades hitting casing) and they started roofing work at 8am.
