We who have been practitioners and managers of national golf enjoyed for years from the moment of the stay in this Hotel, Divi Links Golf Resort , the beauty of golf , 18 holes, beachfront - own - links , the clubhouse and the facilities for the golfer and tourists. But we must confess, I know very well the island, by the amount of times we have visited this Resort is one of the most complete and modern which is currently the Island which is also known as the successful slogan " One Happy Island" .
