Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Fantastic location with a nice house reef for snorkeling. Very nice dives with the on -site dive school. Good variety of food in the restaurant. Low key vibe, simplicity in style. Nice staff. No pool (a bonus for us). Quiet. Privacy.

Negative: High prices for drinks (wine but also water). Made it a bit difficult to enjoy a drink at the bar. Spa prices so high that we did not go. Coffee at breakfast not so great and limited number of nespresso capsules in room. Sometimes difficult to coordinate with cleaning staff (clean twice a day for quite a long time). All minor issues. On the whole loved our stay and would visit again.

Summary: Paradise
