"For a weekend getaway, it was a good experience overall. A couple of things to keep in mind though—getting to the island involves about a two-hour ride on an open boat. If the water is rough, it might not be the most enjoyable, and if the weather turns while you’re on the island, it’s unclear how flexible or reliable transportation back would be. The beach service is fairly limited, so if you’re expecting a more polished, resort-style experience, it may fall short of that atmosphere. That said, the setting is quiet and low-key, with good cellular and internet service, which is a nice plus. The accommodations are hut-style—simple, but very comfortable and peaceful. Overall, it has a lot of potential. With some improvements in service, it could be a really great spot."

"I stayed there and really liked it. Everything was lovely—the room was very clean, the staff was extremely kind, and the attention and help with everything were perfect."

"The people was awesome, really nice and attentive. The property still need improvement and the beach has a lot of seaweed, the cabana was ok not the greatest for the price The tours were cool."
