    “Great location on the private island and love that it is adults only as well. We booked pretty far out and the only thing available was the lowest category room (obviously very popular resort) and we didn’t have availability to get into one of the premium bungalows which we felt would have been a bit better value for money as they had more of a beach feel and hammocks. The room was large and the bed was a really nice size. Air con was great and worked really well for those hot days. Outdoor shower was good but water pressure was very light. The lightest pressure we have experienced at any resort. Ferry drivers were the loveliest and Illy (hope I wrote that right) was absolutely incredible in her customer service and you felt she was actually being genuine. The bikes were a nice touch but you could see how the higher spec rooms were given ones with well kept seats and well maintained and the beach bungalow had ripped seats and looked battered. Day showers nice touch for people that are checking out and have a bit of time before they leave.”

    “What an incredibly beautiful place. The ocean is right at your doorstep and it is consistently the most magical turquoise colour!!! Such an easy comfortable place to relax in the warmth and sunshine or do any number of activities from swimming and snorkeling to paddling SUPs and kayaks over to nearby islands. The bikes were super handy and easy to ride. The staff were all so lovely friendly and welcoming. Just a magical place!!”
