8/10 Good
"Great views which was exceptional. The food was good but was not always hot. The toilets smelled in the room and there was building work taking place outside the hotel. That said, the people were lovely. Please also note there is no alcoholic drinks served on the atol and there is a separate beach for tourists and you must cover up as a female when going to the beach."
