Our Opinion
A beautiful island with a little something for everybody
Atmosphere: Well maintained inside and out - the buildings are clean and the beaches and pathways frequently swept. The staff are warm and extremely helpful
Rooms: The rooms are spacious and comfortable and the decor has recently been upgraded.
Dining: The dining here is offered on a buffet basis but is widely varied, rarely repeated and of excellent quality.
Activities: A well run dive centre accommodates all abilities. Boat trips are required to access the house reef for snorkelling and there are also many day trips available. There is good surfing on the ocean side of the island and the evening entertainment in the main bar is varied and offers such activities as crab racing, quizzes and dive shows presentations.
