The thatch roof was old and full of termites, thus termite dust fells from the ceiling all day and night. I woke up with it on my face, in my hair, everywhere. The lighting in in the room is very poor. The room is open so you have mosquitoes all day and night. The chair on the porch was broken. Water drains onto the floor not down the pipe. I told the (new) owner and he said they knew these problems and planned to shut down the unit and put on a new roof. But still took my $175/night fee and did not put us into a nicer room, I would not recommend this room unless you know the rooms have been upgraded.

Lovely resort for a few nights
We had a great stay at Fatboys. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was great. Our accommodation was spacious with a mosquito net (personal spray and insect spray provided) with a comfy queen bed looking towards the balcony and water, sofa area, bar fridge, jug, 2 jugs of drinking water, hanging rack for clothes as well as an open shelved stand for clothes and a safe. The balcony-2 barstool style chairs and table overlooks the water towards the restaurant and is lovely spot for coffee or an evening drink. The bathroom with slat floor has a stable door - inside was a toilet and hot water shower. The hand basin is outside the bathroom but there is no light or mirror so you are almost in darkness at night There are 2 lights above the bed but no other lighting so it is impossible to sit on the sofa to read, write etc as it gets dark. We stayed 3nights & snorkelled from the restaurant towards the green buoy and surrounds. There was a nice variety of fish and coloured coral and out towards the drop off and green buoy we saw some larger marine life such as humphead wrasse. Conditions & viz varied during our stay & the last morning snorkel presented the best conditions. To improve a guest’s stay would be lighting over the sofa/lounge area; a light and mirror next to the hand basin, repairing the broken “Roman blind” door to the balcony in order to keep the rain out, an undercover clothes line for swimwear, cordless jug, more clothing storage.
