We came home totally refreshed. The only decisions to be made were 'do we snorkel (which was amazing), or read or kayak?' I still feel refreshed a month later. Very relaxing.
We loved our stay.It was so uncomplicated. Snorkelling was amazing and the people so very friendly. Perfect tropical island views and I loved the 200 year old huts made of beautiful timber only metres from the beach. We snorkelled, kayaked, ate and had massages. The money from the island supports a local school.These things made it worthwhile. On the negative side the meals were expensive and there were no options. 5 pool cues in the games room, only one had a tip, no chalk and felt was ripped, movies in the cinema didn't work as I think they were pirated (but really, who wants to watch movies), bed I found too hard though my husband didn't find it so. I had to add cushions to sleep on. The fan wasn't over the bed and it was quite hot on a couple of nights. I'd still recommend it though. We loved it.
Websites and reviews do not do this resort justice. It is an absolute paradise!
