Wonderful place, for people looking to seek a different type of experience, we stayed in the lagoon bubble lodge, lovely view of the lagoon. Monkeys jumping on top in the morning which we were lucky to see as we slept. One of the best pools to swim and relax. Staff and owners very welcoming and helpfull. Lovely facility of boat ride to take you to otherside which by road takes 50 mins. Would definitely recommend to people seeking a luxury outdoor experience.

Excellent property with superb views. The staff are extremely helpful too. The beach unfortunately is covered with sea weeds and you hardly see the sand and not ideal to walk or lie on the sun lounger. Not much choice on the menu for vegetarians either.
