We loved the family running this place. We felt blown away by the hospitality we were greeted with. The location is amazing and the food was wonderful. Our one year old enjoyed her stay too, and played with the family's kids. The snorkeling was some of the best in all the five different islands we went to. We can only give our highest recommendations for this place. It was our favorite, it even beat the five star resort we later stayed at.
