"Wow! Vale Sekula looked too good to be true- it was as amazing if not better than advertised! Tony (the owner) was an excellent communicator and Robert and Vinna (the caretakers) were amazing people, good at communicating and helping us arrange rides and activities, and Vinna’s cooking was top notch and fresh from her garden! Our family is a land-locked bunch that rarely has or likes fish, but Vinna made 3 fish dishes for us, and we were all licking our bowls and enjoying leftovers!The property was beautiful, the 3 kayaks were perfect, the grounds were well maintained!We LOVED everything about this place!"

"The staff at Garden Island Resort are all so lovely and caring. The gardens at the front of the building are beautiful. The location is not great for snorkeling right from the resort though amazing diving and snorkelling is available close by. The pool is directly underneath a cauldron of bats, not 1-2 bats but close to 100. The bats are screeching constantly throughout the day and there are bat droppings on the pool deck. There are few close amenities and not much within walking distance. No airport shuttle was provided despite being listed as an amenity. This property appears to need some tender loving care. Our shower head did not work correctly and leaked, our ceiling fan did not work and our safe was not bolted down."

"Excellent place to stay. Walking distance to the grocery store and several restaurants. The house itself was clean. Each room has an air-conditioning unit that kept us nice and cool. Jason, the host was very helpful and accessible. Highly recommend."

"The staff are very good, but this property is very tired and in need of a major update. The pictures DO NOT look anything like what we stayed in. The air conditioning did not work, the toilet leaks (from the bowl), cleaning staff did not clean the room, ants are everywhere in the room. "

"Great place to stay, hosts are great. The food is great can’t recommend more highly. Clean rooms and very friendly staff. Will revisit in the future for sure"

"beautiful site on spectacular rainbow reef well-appointed rooms terrific meals attentive, kind and very hospitable staff "

"Bure was great, staff and owners are great and go extra step to make sure everything is going well. Super wonderful stay and the lovely people really make this place shine. I've stayed here in the past several times with previous owners and it was wonderful then and its has not drop off at all. Loved the room, loved the restaurant and chef was very able to adopt to my allergy requirements. Food was excellent. Birds in the morning, stars at night, waves all the time. Fantastic. Can't wait to come back!"

"Great place to rest, swim and dive"

"This was an amazing place! The staff was unbelievably helpful and friendly and the setting is spectacular and the rooms themselves are comfortable but they need new beds we had a hard time sleeping on the old metal box spring together waking each other up every time we moved It would be 100% great if they got new beds "
