Real guests • Real stays • Real opinions
We really enjoyed our stay. We especially enjoyed walking on the reef.

How accessible everything is. Staff very nice and friendly.

an amazing blend of human existence with natural surroundings

Location good - breakfast could have offered more variety

Loved the location, the snorkeling, swimming, beach

the hotel is little old and room had no conditioning , but it wasn’t very hot in the room though

The island itself is fantastic and they have done well not to disturb the environment any more than necessary. The reef is still in good shape and the turtles and birds were looked after well.

Great views, lots to do, lots of fun! Great snorkeling location! Excellent island vibes

Beautiful location and very chilled vibes Perfect for 2 nights

Clean and set up with what you need. This resort is more about experiencing the island and the wildlife that surround and inhabit it. The restaurant changed its evening menu daily, which I appreciated. The staff where approachable and friendly.
