Very poor

Definitely not worth the money you pay.

Beautiful resort located on an island. The restaurant and staff were very excellent.

The reception and hotel staff was very curt and not very helpful. They didnt allow us to wait at the lobby as claimed it can only cater to a few people. The generator turned off at 4.30 to 6.30 am. And no one answered any calls. Porters to collect luggage were late.

Toast grill was fantastic.

Exceeded our expectations. I recommend the hillside villas - spacious, comfortable, and great views.

Our hillside villa was superb - a huge sitting room, large bedroom, and a vast bathroom, plus an outdoor area with a spectacular view out over the beach and sea. It was a lot more upmarket than I had expected! We had a good dinner in the hotel's pleasant open-air restaurant (serenaded by some excellent musicians!), and the breakfast buffet the following morning was also good. The fresh-water swimming pool was large and refreshing. And we saw a lot of fish while snorkelling over the coral off the beach (but only deep enough to do that at high tide). The staff were outstandingly helpful and friendly.

There was no WiFi in the villa itself, but good connection in the reception area, and intermittent connection in the restaurant. And (no fault of the hotel of course) we got bitten by sandflies while on the beach.

Lovely visit.

Our villa was fantastic and very comfortable. Food was great but a little expensive. Lovely atmosphere in the late afternoon and evening. Snorkeling off the private lodge beach had some lovely coral and fish. Really enjoyed our stay.

Pool was a bit tired looking but good. Having day visitors gave the lodge a different feel and it was a bit uncomfortable at times in terms of respecting local sensitivities but not really a big problem. A bit peeved that we had to pay a lot extra for an earlier boat and found that the lodged used it to transport linen anyway!
