What an absolute gem. From the second you're greeted off the plane by the team who help you on the boat to the island until the moment you leave, everyone is super friendly including the dogs! Comfy giant beds, powerful showers, refreshing pool with lots of shady lounging spots, gorgeous vistas, delicious food, punchy cocktails and a long stretch of pristine beach. Great location for day trips or just unwinding on site. We will be back.

There is hardly a single thing to not like about this unique boutique hotel. The setting is perfect and the rooms all with a great view of the water. From the minute you land until you leave you are well taken care of by the friendly staff. Food is superb. Walking on the beach or town,great. This place just exudes charm and class.
