The place was so clean! It felt so fancy and absolutely loved the plunge pool which also had a TV and mini fridge down stairs with it. The staff were so welcoming but also just gave us our space. Location was perfect, easy walk to restaurants and clothes shops, bottle shops and the beach. Close to the ferry terminal and bus stops to be able to access the whole island. The beds were comfortable! There were really no negatives, I can't wait to stay again!

No breakfast as it was self contained. Location was quiet but only one place to go for dinner. Really needs a small convenience store so people can self cater…..and great if there was a couple more eating venues to choose from.
