sandy beach turquoise waters house reef room cleaning bad service knees bruises

My time here was an absolute dream. I adored the fine, white sandy beach. The turquoise waters were lovely. It was easy to snorkel and discover fish right by the house reef.

The cleaning in the room could have been better. The room was not perfectly super clean. The service was not good while getting in and out of boat. My knees got bruises during transfer.

A pampered experience!

warm welcome attentive staff spacious room

Many staff members still worked there after ten years. This was quite excellent. We received a warm welcome upon arrival on the island. The staff were attentive and professional. I felt valued. The rooms were spacious and well kept. The housekeepers kept everything clean and tidy.

The bar didn't open until after 2pm. This made it difficult to get cold drinks. I thought that was quite late in the day. Service earlier would improve this.
