The facilities need a new build with high ceilings and character. The food is average and needs urgent attention. The staff are great.
Had a wonderful stay, could not fault it - stunning property
We celebrated a wedding anniversary here - just a handful of nights - which felt about right to enjoy what the island had to offer. It's stunningly beautiful, especially in the morning and at sunset. We hiked the island and explored the beaches, only rarely encountering other people (which was surreal). The coral snorkelling was impressive (more vibrant in parts than I expected) and immediately accessible. We even saw a huge turtle - just the two of us, snorkelling around by ourselves (again... surreal)
The hotel is an impressive building - but somewhat feels like it's run by a very well-meaning crew of travellers and backpackers themselves passing through. This meant the service has a... friendly authenticity perhaps... rather than being a superb well-run machine. For the price point, and the impending establishment of the island that was totally fine.
Would certainly recommend!
