Great resort on a quiet island with hike paths around it, many beautiful beaches where you can walk around alone. Restaurant of the hotel has the same menu everyday, so after a while you have tried everything. They do a great happy hour during sunset everyday!

Idyllic stay.

Beautiful, relaxing idyllic stay. Food was good. Staff were lovely. Pool was nice. Loved the setting and nature. The hammocks were a nice touch. Lots of activities. Bush walks were fun. Bedding etc was very clean. Room 15 was very musty so had to keep aircon on at all times.

This resort was everything I wanted in a holiday. From the moment we arrived, the relaxed island vibe set in—it never felt rushed or pretentious, just easygoing and welcoming. The cabins right on the beach were picture perfect, especially at high tide, and the free use of kayaks and paddleboards was such a bonus. We also loved the hiking tracks, a great way to balance out the lazy beach days. And the food—absolutely next level and very reasonably priced! Every meal at the restaurant was a highlight. A true holiday escape.
