This is like a bucket list location and can highly recommend the resort
Pros:

I think the location of Arajilla is the best on the island , its on the West side of the Island so it was great when it was windy, as it was not windy at Settlement Beach, whereas it was at Neds, plus it’s a super easy bike ride to the town and all the restaurants/cafes. The beach it is on is excellent for snorkelling and nice to sit and watch the sunset. We stayed in a suite so it was amazing accommodation. They no longer have a restaurant but there is frozen preprepared meals which are delicious and excellent BBQ and cooking facilities. We didn’t miss the absence of the restaurant.

Great location, terrific staff, wonderful facilities
Pros:

Breakfast was supplied every day and was very nice and filling, and more than I could eat. It was always fresh.

Cons:

I would have appreciated more butter, as the two small packets was not enough for the bread supplied. When I did get a spare packet they often took it away when cleaning!

very nice place to stay.
Pros:

An excellent location

Cons:

Breakfast could have been better. It was White bread and cheap yogurt. A banana and some nicer quality yogurt with protein in it rather than the Farmers Union would have been great. A bit more milk.
The shearwater birds were really noisy at night
