Outstanding all inclusive with great food and included wine list. Amazing friendly service from all the staff and a wonderful house reef to snorkle on to your hearts content. We stayed in both a lagoon villa and an over water villa during our week and really enjoyed both experiences. The fish feeding with plenty of rays and sharks a real highlight. The adults only area with a la carte lunch, infinity pool and cocktails to order was a favourite.

Stayed here for 5 nights, we were welcomed by the manager and other staff on arrival - they helped us with everything from arranging speedboat transfers for arriving and leaving the island to booking excursions. The hotel and rooms were nice and modern and had everything we needed, the buffet breakfast was nice and had different choices each day. The location was perfect, a 5 min walk to a beautiful quiet bikini beach, we also had transport to take us to the sandbank at the bottom of the island....

Modern and beautiful, close to the bikini beach. Pick up from the harbour by car. Special thanks to the staff from the restaurant (kuku, mojid, rayuela) there is nothing they could do better. Highly highly recommend the hotel and also the restaurant.
