relaxing beach escape
efficient transfer private beach friendly staff
The boat transfer to the island was efficient. Hotel staff greeted me at the boat and handled my luggage. The beach felt clean and private. I also liked the monitor lizard that often roamed the beach in the morning.
I thought the restaurant service could be slow during peak times

Excellent stay on the island
comfortable bed great pillow private beach
The Hillside Villa was fabulous. The bed was very comfortable. The pillows were great. I slept well. The private beach of the hotel was close to our Villa.
There are lots of Moskito and sun flies that bites you.

power outages inconvenient wi-fi
The room was bright and airy with plenty of room for two people. It was a pleasant walk to the restaurant, which served breakfast, lunch and dinner.
I found the power outages at 10:00 AM and 10:00 PM to be a real nuisance. The free Wi-Fi was only available in the reception area, very inconvenient. I expected better connectivity in the rooms, especially given the price.
