Lovely location (beautiful views!) with amazing staff (shout out to Ghislaine!). It is a bit expensive and things like the bike and scooter rentals are add-ons as well, but this is what I'd expect in an isolated area like this. Do recommend!

Stayed 5 nights

Let me preface, I’m not one to rate any stay. We have been around the world and seen many properties in our day. The 5 nights we were there were good. Just good. The staff was friendly but not very accommodating. It happened to be a stay where the hotel appeared to running only 20% full occupancy which was amazing to feel like we had the whole place to ourselves. The Bad: The property is a bit run down and needs some upgrades. The pillows were shot and lumpy. Ice to the room was not an option and we had to get it from the bar every day. We asked for an umbrella on our deck and was told no. The Good: The restaurant was one of the most phenomenal and most delicious meals we have tasted ever tasted. Whoever is the chef, hats off to an amazing menu and staff. The dive center was also amazing and got to try scuba diving for the first time. Overall, glad we make the trip to this island and happy to experience the property but it’s a one and done.

Nice grounds and nice rooms - restaurant left alot to be desired as far as selection and service. Beds were also quite uncomfortable.
