Lovely small boutique hotel-style residence. They have 6 rooms in total, each newly renovated, clean, modern, and full of high-quality amenities (toiletries, slippers, tea etc.). Comfy bed and large rain-shower. Staff were wonderful and helpful: we booked last minute and they were able to help us immediately! Location close to good seafood restaurants and quite central.

Amazing resort at a really affordable price. Having a resort, in the middle of nowhere, facing a private beach but enjoining 4 different restaurants/menus, 10-15 different activities and a Spa is priceless. We did activities like kayaking in the mangrove, snorkeling in a different island, massage in the spa, Omakase dinner, fine dinning... everything was great! Staff is amazing, always willing to help and making things easy!

    Excellent location within walking distance to eateries, malls and the jetty for island-hopping. Staff were exceptionally warm and hospitable - 5 stars to them! The pool was a great place to unwind on a humid afternoon. The view from the café was just perfect, overlooking the sea. Would definitely return the next time I'm in KK.
