I liked that the staff were very nice and helpful. It was also convenient that the hotel was next to the beach, which made pick-up and drop-off by boat more convenient.

This is one of our top locations ever! We stayed 3 nights in a premier over the water bungalow and the rest in a beachside bungalow. Both were incredible! The staff is fabulous, the views stunning, and the easy access to FREE use of kayaks, paddle boards, beach loungers and towels snorkel gear and left

Amazing stay! Comfortable and spacious room, private beach, fast access to boat rental with awesome nearby sites (coral garden, eagle ray, white sand beach). And didn’t have to request for late checkout since they offer free shower, so could take advantage of site on departure day!
Only inconvenience was that the door to the room had a seam up top (room 26) so seems like it let some mosquitos in :(
