We enjoyed our time at this property and made some unforgettable memories there with our family. Paea was so kind and helpful. The surrounding landscaping is gorgeous and we loved sitting outside to soak it all in. I would definitely stay at this property again. Thank you Paea for everything!

4/5 - Good

Verified traveller

It’s a relaxing holiday everyone is friendly and welcoming. To get good swimming beaches you need to go to the outer islands but there is enough to do on the main island and can swim at the hotel.

4/5 - Good

We went for the whale swim and had an amazing experience. Otherwise not a lot of activities or dining options in town

4/5 - Good

Hire yourself a car and drive around the island - it's easy to see all the sights in a day and essentially impossible to get lost!

4/5 - Good
