From the photos this hotel and island looked amazing. We were not disappointed. We had a fantastic time and an authentic experience of the local culture and island. The local people are also very warm and friendly.
When we arrived we were greeted by hotel staff who organised our trip on the speed boat. The staff are helpful, friendly, warm and accommodating. They assisted us and answered any of our questions. We went to relax...and relax we did.
The room is very clean and if you ask them to change the sheets or clean the room, they are happy to do this to make your stay better. The bed was very comfortable.The room has a TV but no cable (yet). If you want to wind down at the end of the day take a usb stick with some movies etc to watch. We streamed movies and the internet worked well most of the time. The water (at times) had a distinct smell and although it is desalinated, it is still salty. Our room did not have hot water. This did not ruin our experience.
The food was lovely and the local dishes are a real treat. There is a limited selection but it is enough for a week long stay. This is a small hotel with limited staff so ordering well before time is recommended when the hotel is full. If you have children, I would buy snacks from the mainland to take.
There is a local company hiring water recreational equipment and offers local diving and trips. The water is spectacular. You can see sharks, sting rays, reef fish, manta rays, dolphins and all other types of marine life
