Went recently for a wedding and although the views and beaches are amazing, the place is overshadowed by the terrible service and lack of attention from the employees at the hotel. We were promised a couple of expeditions that never happened and there was hardly a waiter serving the beach. As other reviewers have said, the food is appalling and... More

It's a great place! Amazing island and a very cozy hotel. The food it is not sofisticated but is very good. The staff are perfect and the beach very nice. Negative points: old fashioned bedroom, no hot water and the desserts are definetely terrible. Since the we have to pay for internet, we forgot the world and relax a lot.

The food was of canteen quality (deserts from the box - dilute fruit juice -daily the same breakfast composition with queezing cheese and tasteless ham). Everything has to be paid extra e.g. internet connection, drinking water in room minibar (self-made by desalination plant), canoeing etc). Our room was very simply furnished e. g. no wardrobe) and badly lighted. No warm... More

My wife and I spent 7 nights on the island. Stunning location with a beautiful beach. Our room was located close to the water and it was very large and comfortable, although no hot shower. Hotel offers quite a bit of leisure activities, such as laser sailing, kayaks etc., but everything is charged extra, including internet. For the price we... More

My girlfriend and I spent three nights at the resort and loved it. We couldn't make the Monday morning boat but they kept in touch with us and finally put on a Tuesday boat to take us and two other couples out to the island. The place was fantastic, a real island fantasy. There's no pool and the island is... More
