We had a fantastic stay at Crab Claw Island! We had a group of 11 friends across two of the large family cabins. The rooms were well air conditioned, clean, quiet and had comfortable beds! It was useful having the fridge and the under cover area. We used the pool a lot and the food at the pub is fantastic. the setting is incredible - if you're after a relaxing weekend away, this is the place to go!
