I had read some reviews and had some reservations that the experience would not meet our excited expectations? From start to finish we were delighted. What a fantastic island, its beautiful.

The staff were efficient but not overly friendly. The beach was dirty and we found water bottles, a dolls head and general debris a... more

The sunset villa rooms were large, clean and well equipped. Not to mention we had a great view from our deck and a wonderful hammock! The staff was delightful (example: we had wanted... more
