Our stay at Taboo Resort was truly memorable, with a beautiful setting and exceptional service. The rooms were modern and spacious, making it a comfortable retreat. The dining experience at The Boat House Restaurant, however, left room for improvement, as the quality didn't quite match the price. Overall, it's a fantastic family-friendly spot with plenty of activities for everyone, but some details could enhance the experience.
