Pros:

Excellent position, lovely quiet beach. Friendly helpful staff.

Cons:

The rooms are very dated, not worth the cost. Seaview a bit descriptive could see but tucked away in a corner at the back of the property. Hard to get a good night's sleep with dogs running around barking all night, when they finally stopped it was the turn if the roosters....waking the dogs up to start barking again.

Pros:

Tranquil with a nice pool area and beachfront.
Helpful and lovely staff
Nice bar and restaurant

Cons:

I guess optional to upgrade continental breakfast to a full breakfast should me available.
You can anyway buy eggs or groceries, cook them in the room and complete a good breakfast.

Loved the location but disappointed with the accommodation
Pros:

Breakfast was very basic and far from being presented well. Bar area was great very relaxed and lay back. Location great just a short walk to ocean, pool was excellent. Grace who is employed there was the most obliging industries hard working person I have ever met a true asset to her employer.

Cons:

We stayed in the large suite above the office. Upon arrival the outdoor furniture was best described as being well past their use by date most of which was held together with duct tape. The refrigerator and pantry were stocked with food from previous visitors much of which was out of date. The walk in wardrobe was not accessible. Honestly for the money paid I feel we could do better on the island.

Beautiful location and large spacious room.
Pros:

The location is amazing. The sea is beautiful and the fish and sea life is amazing right off the beach.

Cons:

The room had a leak in the roof in the bathroom. Hopefully it will be repaired.

Pros:

Loved the property site, the pool, the bar, the meals. The room size was amazing. The staff were so happy and welcoming which was great after a double flight getting here. Booked in the next today with a group of friends for the fire and culture show and dinner. We will definitely be back.

Cons:

To short a stay
