The worst customer service I have ever experienced. Impossible to get a hold of or communicate with on needs. These islands have so many great places so make sure you avoid this one it's not worth your time.

Stayed 3 nights

Though we were in one of the cabins we were on the front sp the noise of the bars were so loud, even earplugs didnt work. Quite a bit of rain so lots of biting animals! Pool didnt look very inviting. Had a problem with the plumbing and though we were offered to move we were only there for 3 nights. Though it was Christmas time we thought it was overpriced as did not include breakfast. Everyone was very pleasant and helpful.

Stayed 6 nights

We were really hoping for a positive stay, but unfortunately this property did not meet basic comfort or maintenance standards for us. The host was friendly in communication; however, the property itself was very rundown. The bed and bedding were extremely uncomfortable and felt worn, and there was very limited seating in the room. The chairs that were provided were unstable and in poor condition. Much of the property appeared to be in disrepair, including areas of flooring that felt soft and rotting underfoot. The shower had very low water pressure and was broken, and the drain did not work properly, causing water to pool significantly during use. Our room was not serviced or cleaned at any point during our six-night stay. The air conditioner barely worked - the lowest it would get was 23C. Music was so loud from nearby bars I struggled to fall asleep every night. Some nights music went till 6am. Several advertised amenities were not available during our visit, including complimentary breakfast and kayaks. Additionally, the location is close to marshland, which resulted in a large number of insects throughout the stay. While the host was polite and responsive, the overall condition of the property and lack of functioning amenities made our stay quite uncomfortable. We would recommend significant maintenance and clearer listing information for future guests.

Stayed 4 nights

I am very positive and always find great things to address, but I failed on this one! Located in really bad and in inaccessible part of the island. There is nothing to do unless you take a boat. LOTS AND LOTS of bugs (noseeems) we couldn't even step outside without being devoured. Off didnt do anything! Food was ok nothing to rave home about I got Fish Skewers, go fish lol. Dog poo was constant annoyance in front of the room door. Pool water was very dirty we couldn't work up courage to go in. There was a small handsoap in the bathroom for toiletries. It was a real disappointment.
