The resort is located across the beach and has all the amenities one can think of. The staff are friendly barring one or two buggy drivers who are burnt out driving around.

Top destination
5/5 - Excellent
Verified traveller
Very relaxing and good option for travel if you are looking to enjoy the beach environment.
5/5 - Excellent
Verified traveller
This island is quiet and still unspoiled by tourism. Even as tourists ourselves we could appreciate life going on regardless. We rode motorbikes around the island and enjoyed a quiet lunch overlooking fishing activities. Well worth a visit.
3/5 - Okay
Verified traveller
Minus the resorts, it is quite an isolated island with not much happening.
