Free breakfast and taxi to the pier made this great value! We missed the scheduled shuttle to the pier but they made an exception and were able to bring us no extra charge. The market with the hotel was cheapest we found on the island even better than 7 Eleven.

    We had a fabulous stay with this hotel. It offered a complimentary (and hassle free) transfer service to and from the pier which was a small luxury and a genuine treat. The complimentary breakfast was decent and you were provided several options for your choice. The beds were comfy and the room overall was spacious, clean and private. Notably, the staff were kind and eager to help in anyway.

    It was beautifully set on the hill, great snorkelling out front and amazing sunsets. Good exploring around the property, you can walk to town if you’re up for a bit of a hike and will see abandoned hotels along the way and a stunning beach. The food was delicious and the staff like family, the rooms were lovely with great views and relaxing. I’d come here every year!

    The resort is very quiet and lovely designed with lots of nature around the villas and facilities. The breakfast was fantastic and the dining area had a beautiful view towards the sea and town. The staff was very responsive and helpful. The place is wonderful maintained and very clean. The shuttle service several times a day in and out of town is a big plus. We enjoyed our stay, the resort is a wonderful place to relax.
