The closest thing to paradise possible - it was incredible.
Pros:

The staff are incredible! They are friendly and helpful. The place is the most beautiful place I've ever stayed, and the food delicious.

Cons:

The entire key is the resort, and some of the more removed beach areas had a lot of trash on the beach. I think there should be more of an effort to remove it all, but maybe it is too much. Also some of the tables in the water need to be cleaned of algae.

Great experience, highly recommended!
Pros:

Awesome place, I booked the cheapest room and it had AC and was sealed very well from bugs. Their own beach is great and on the sheltered side. Restaurant is open certain hours whether I went or not which was perfect for me, I brought my own kayak and snorkeling gear with me so I was doing day trips to different reefs, and really enjoyed that they could do breakfast until 9:30, dinner until 8, and lunch in my Tupperware container, it worked perfectly for my needs. Really friendly and helpful staff, and good communication through the booking site leading up to me coming. Oct 2025 had enough sandflies that I wore long pants and long sleeves when I was at the restaurant or any time not in the water, but with those thin layers on it wasn't bad at all, didn't impact my trip much. Bring bug spray if you don't like wearing layers though. There's excellent reef around if you look for it. The wind was fairly strong for most of my stay so be aware kayaking may not be possible, or only for experienced ocean kayakers. Highly recommend only paddling into the wind on the way out to cruise home with the wind. Water visibility was good when I arrived, 50-70', but got a lot worse over the next 10 days and stayed at 30-40', and 20-40' on the north side of the island.

Cons:

See other comment about wind and bugs.

A great private island, you will feel refreshed and wanting to come back to this piece of heaven
Pros:

I enjoyed being secluded. The quiet and peacefulness of the island. The cleanliness. The staff was attentive, helpful and friendly. The sunrise and sunset are breathtaking. The breakfast was tasty. The food overall at their restaurant was all tasty and well made.

Cons:

It was quite expensive to leave Graham and do other activities. Perhaps more affordable prices more people would would want to sign up for snorkelling and other activities. No wifi or TV in the rooms.wifi only at bar. More entertainment would be a (+)

Overall it was fine. The only thing that we will recommend is to have some type of entertainment and to have a bar open
Pros:

The cleaning and the staff services.

Cons:

They don’t have any type of entertainment. The restaurant and the bar are closed very early.

Excellent
Pros:

Excellent staff!

Cons:

Disappointed in the trash on backside of the island. There are plastics and bottles, roof shingles...etc. One of the nearby islands was full of trash on it's shoreline...noted to be a problem elsewhere...does not seem to be a problem for the locals but it is for us value our environment and goes to these beautiful places and except the locals to care.

If you're interested GO. No matter what, it's amazing. I think new ownership is working on it.
Pros:

Overall this place is incredible. You wake up to pristine water and are on a private Cay in paradise. When you exit your water taxi, which is included in the price, the dock staff are super helpful. The welcome drink is delicious. It's magic.

Cons:

I don't like that around the walking path, where theboriginalnowner used to have animals before he passed, they are tossing their trash. There were mounds of trash once you went to the back which was sad. Mr Graham wouldn't approve and would be rolling in his grave. Additionally, it took about 40 minutes to get our lunch tab correct I think the staff needed additional training on the pos and manners since they didn't make eye contact. The woman at the register refused to acknowledge our existence. We've been coming to grahams for 20 years and since his passing this is the first I've experienced this.

Its not what it used to be. It can improve and uphold the legacy of its former owner and manager.
Pros:

Secluded and remote location. Great views and great beach. The premises are well kept and maintained. Had some wine bottles I ordered ready upon arrival. The boat guy (John) was a great help. Props for him.

Cons:

Staff were not so accommodating, service at the beach not great. Had to walk up every time to the bar everytime I needed something. Frequent power outages (I understand it's a problem in general in Guanaja). I'm sure the hotel can work to do better to upkeep the name and prestige its had for years.
