Hideaway Island Resort is a perfect location for quiet relaxation
We enjoyed our stay. The Bungalows were a bit outdated, the island is beautiful the staff are happy amazing people very accommodating and helpful. It isn't a busy Island for tourists so it's quiet perfect for privacy to kick back and relax.
Highly recommend

Amazing resort with the best snorkelling
Villa living within steps of the best snorkelling in the world. The meals were so fresh and delicious. The staff were so happy and couldn't do enough for us. We loved every minute. They have had a tough time reopening after covid and two cyclones so there may still be a few things not quite perfect in the accommodation however if you can look past that, you'll have the best time at Hideaway Island Resort.
