Nev & Deb made us feel really welcome. The huge deck made it easy to enjoy our holiday even with the range of weather we experienced. Loved the opportunity to catch up on some old favourites on TV at night - especially the IT Crowd. The bed was really comfortable and having breakfast & some grocery essentials in the fridge was a god send after an overnight flight.

Location is wonderful. I like the west side of the island. Less touristy. The beaches are beautiful and with tropical fish to see close to shore. The convenience of a well stoked store nearby and a range of quality restaurants in the area.

Amazing location, right in front of a perfect, almost private beach. You don’t need to leave the hotel for anything, unless you want to visit other beaches, but we stayed most of the trip there. Very friendly staff, always smiling and welcoming! The food is delicious and for a fair price, we tried almost every meal in the menu. There are snorkel equipment and kayaks available for free use. There’s nothing very special about the room, but the view is breathtaking. This hotel was highly recommended by our friends and we do recommend it to everyone.
