    The villa was lovely, looking out across to the beach. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was excellent. Walking in to the sea at 7am and being able to snorkel with no one else around was amazing, seeing loads of fish and coral. Private beach was just that and the staff would bring us drinks and snacks. The Island was busy from 9am until 4pm, but after that we had the place almost to ourselves. We will return.

    The villa with the private pool was beautiful and perfect for our two young children. The rooms were of good size and the facilities in the room were good too, jacuzzi bath, shower, air conditioning etc. The staff were (mostly) also excellent. Very welcoming and friendly. There were daily check ins via WhatsApp, which was a nice touch, and a portable WiFi device was provided on arrival, which worked very well.
