Jpark Island Resort & Waterpark

Fun pools and waterslides. Great snorkelling on the private beach with a plethora of fish. We were surprised at how little attention the snorkelling was given in the brochures etc. The buffet breakfast was great with a different local dish daily among all the varied options. A very professional Guest Service who helped recover a lost swim item at the beach. A thorough report and quick recovery.

It appears that the JPark Island Resort’s 5 star status was awarded solely on amenities. There are numerous interior flaws and clear lack of upkeep around corridors, walls, ceilings, fittings, pool floors etc. I have no issues with the above except I do expect attention to finer details at an expensive 5 star hotel. I noticed a lifeguard feeding bread to fish for snorkellers who were only keen to explore near the shore. Surely not a good eco thing to do? We did not enjoy the constant high pressured tsunamis of water squirting in your face as you attempt to relax on a tube. Goodness! Why? Overall: a good place to stay and experience for maybe one night only - possibly two if you have kids aged 7-12 years old.
