Crocodile Bay Resort is a true gem for anyone looking to unwind in nature while having a fantastic time with family and friends. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and cherished by the staff, who genuinely make you feel at home. The activities offered, whether it was fishing, relaxing by the pool, or going on a chocolate tour, provided a perfect balance of relaxation and adventure. The rooms, while simple, were spotlessly clean and quite comfortable, but I felt there could be more variety in the dining menu. Overall, this resort absolutely offers great value for a family vacation, but improvements to the menu would enhance the dining experience even further.

I had mixed feelings about my stay at the resort. The staff was friendly and eager to help, which made the experience more pleasant despite some challenges. While the fishing wasn't as fruitful as I'd hoped, the eco tours were top-notch and the attention to our needs was appreciated. However, the dilapidated fishing boats and disconnect in management left a bitter taste. It's a beautiful location, but I recommend caution when it comes to trusting the fishing services.
