Wonderful staff, very quiet during the daytime but in the evening, the restaurant fills up with guests from all over the island which we thought was very fun! The food is delicious. If you want daytime activity, you will need to go elsewhere but if you want peace and a private beach, this place is perfect!

At this time of the year totally perfect for rest and relaxation. The best room with balcony overlooking the trees and watch the waves roll in. Afternoons in the water and then out in time for Happy Hour! Food and cocktails outstanding and the gem of this place is the staff they are the 'icing on the cake' so to speak. We will definitely return and next time for longer.

I travelled with the whole fam (4x adults) We had a late flight so we arrived in the property almost midnight. We checked-in in our room (2bedroom suites) with no issues at all as prior instructions was given clearly ahead of time. Everyone’s first impression was “Wow!” Our room was so spacious and most of all clean and comfortable. We would have given it 5 stars, however, 1 room had no A/C that everyone has to sleep in one room (luckily the bed is big enough for 4 of us). Otherwise, it felt like a home away from home. Kudos to the staff for excellent service.

We loved the privacy. We loved that there was a restaurant and bar right on the beachfront - the food was delicious. The staff were wonderful, very friendly and welcoming. We loved the easy access to the beach and being able to walk from our room down to the beach to swim. The foot bowl and extra floor towels for cleaning sandy feet were great too. We would definitely choose to stay here again!
