3 days in paradise !
AmazIng location, stunning views, this hotel sits on a private beach. I liked the beautiful rooms interior and private decks, 3 pools and different places as to choose for breakfast, lunch or dinner with shows and dances on occasions. Staff is friendly, trying to make you feel well all the time with a big smile on their faces, girls a nice flowers on their hair. . I just was a bit disappointed not finding a fresh coffee included for breakfast, missing a more consistent items like bread other than white, cheese, tropical fruits usually found on 4 stars hotels.

Serenity
The beauty of the white sand, the waves crashing against the shore, the clearness of the blue water, made this trip so relaxing and serene. It was off season, but the hotel and staff served us well, friendly smiles all around, Mele at the spa worked her magic with my massage and facial, food and drinks offered were tasty and we had a great stay, would definitely come back on a future trip.

David, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Return to Paradise is a truly special place. For us it was important to support the island not a large multi national which was one of the reasons for choosing here. We absolutely made the right choice and felt like one of the family. The reef directly in front of the hotel is superb, the trips were wonderful (the turtles and giant clams were a highlight for me). It was a genuine home away from home, not a flashy faceless resort. We certainly loved it.
Emma, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

really good snorkeling and quite a bit of "live coral" which we had not seen at other resort areas.. Interesting history here, staff did a great job.

Allan, 3-night trip

I liked the fact that local people are trained up to work in the resort providing important employment opportunities. The owner and her family made a real effort to make me feel welcome even though I was only staying a short stay. The Saturday night show was fabulous

We had a lovely week with great friends - however the rooms weren’t serviced as stated, we had to ask for towels and toilet paper. The spa that we booked and paid for wasn’t there and the 3 bedroom villa was 3x 1bedroom apartments and all separate.
