Mixed Feelings About Island Stay
sea viewslow servicelimited menu
The Hillside Villa was spacious, bright, and clean. I especially liked the sofa area facing the sea.
The restaurant service was slow and disjointed. They had a very limited menu. It struggled to accommodate allergies, also meals never arrived together. This was disappointing given the accommodation costs. I checked my flight fit with the crossing times.

tropical island PARADISE!
smooth processcrystal waterslow service
The boat trip to the island was smooth, and a hotel staff member greeted me upon arrival. They quickly handled my luggage and showed me to check-in. The beach has clear water, soft sand, and manageable waves. It makes swimming pleasant.
I thought the restaurant service was a bit slow. At dinner, the beer and wine selections were limited.
