own hammock spacious room good facilities early closure limited menu missing television
The beach bure was wonderful. It included my own hammock on the deck. The room was beautiful and spacious. The facilities were really good. I enjoyed disconnecting from everything.
The restaurant closed very early each day. It shut down before 9pm. The menu seemed limited. There was no television in the room.

a relaxing getaway

peaceful location beachfront villas animal wildlife excellent massages
I found the beachfront villas wonderfully located and peaceful. it was great for unwinding completely. the staff provided help whenever needed. i saw a couple of decent walks available on the island with bird and animal wildlife all around. The cockatoos were fun to watch. the spa offered excellent massages, well worth fitting into my stay.
I found that the food options were a little limited. What i received was unbelievably poor on one occasion.
