    "This is the perfect place to stay if you want the things it offers. The list includes being a small resort, limited to 20 people in 10 villas, brilliant staff who constantly go above and beyond to care for you, excellent food, and peace and quiet. This is a remote island location with no shops or alternative entertainment, but a real community feel, personal relationships with staff and guests. There are good kayaks etc to go out to see the local turtles, but just the one 2k walking track up..."

    "No dramas with the hotel at all, it was clean, room was great and the pub and restaurant were good. However, we were told we would have a sea view but what we got was a view of the roof of the pub below. Also couldn’t get anywhere near the restaurant as there was live bands on so every table was reserved, surely the guests should get first refusal?"
