Peaceful, but not boring
Pros:

Beautiful boutique hotel on the beach in a stunning garden. Very friendly, family atmosphere, kind and helpful staff. Food is very delicious. The room was big and the bed was comfortable. Very quiet area, fantastic for sleeping and relaxing. Two pools, yoga for free, daily activities, gym and sports playground are prepared for guests. Check out at 11:00a.m. My stay was a great experience.

Cons:

Nothing, even the low and high tide is interesting and something different.

Pros:

The staff was super helpful and friendly. We arrived to check in quite late and requested breakfast to go before normal breakfast time and they arranged for it without a hitch.
The location and facilities are also great - amazing restaurant, very pretty pool and garden area, access to perfect beach (though keep in mind that on this side of the island low tide basically makes the beach useless for swimming and you can do reef walks instead).
Manager is also very friendly and made a point to speak to every guest.
The room was clean and comfortable and spacious. Everything you need.

We also had lunch at the restaurant. The food was very very good, but definitely on the pricier side.

Cons:

Only point is the AC is operated with the key and on hot days it takes a while to really cool the whole room, so keep in mind that you’ll need to stay in the room for a while before it cools down.

Wunderschöner entspannender Urlaub!
Pros:

Wunderschöne Unterkunft! Tolles Abendessen und sehr leckere Drinks. Das Personal ist super freundlich und immer hilfsbereit. Strand und Lage sind auch super

Cons:

Das ist jetzt schon meckern auf hohen niveau aber das Frühstück war jetzt nicht berauschend aber auch nicht schlecht.
Und man muss etwas vorsichtig sein im Wasser am Strand da es dort viele Seeigel gibt, aber man kann sich schuhe ausleihen.

Vi afbrød vores ophold på Queen Hotel - it’s a wake-up call
Pros:

Maden var god og velsmagende. Dog var brød, croissant mv kedelige. Selve området var smukt og indbydende. Dejlige swimmingpools og gode liggestole. En del af personalet var imødekommende og smilende - særligt dem i baren.
Rigtig gode Moktails.
Dejligt med strandhåndklæder.

Cons:

Vi brød os bestemt ikke om, at rygning var tilladt næsten alle steder. Dette er ikke i overensstemmelse med den viden, man nu har om passiv rygning og rygning.
Terrassen med kig over vandet, der lå foran restauranten, var altid beskidt. Vi skulle bede personalet om at tørre bordene af. Hynderne i sofaerne og stolene var beskidte.
Den høje musik fra morgen til sen aften var ikke hyggelig. Man blev simpelthen træt i hovedet.
Liggestolene på stranden er ikke gode. Man er tvunget til at ligge på ryggen, og man kan ikke sidde op og læse en bog. Stolene mangler indstillingsmuligheder.
Restauranten gav ikke muligheder for en stille og dejlig middag. Vi følte os hensat til en spisesal på en skole. Her burde man lave opdelinger, så man fik hyggelige og intime områder i restauranten.

The perfect place for a calm, luxurious getaway.
Pros:

The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly and will help you with anything you might want, the hotel and the rooms are beautifully done and very clean, the food is great and they offer a variety of activities like swimming with the dolphins. I can truly recommend this hotel.

Cons:

The only downside might be, that it‘s a bit far away from the next town, so you will spend the most time at the hotel, but if you want they offer free bikes to cruise around.

Perfect
Pros:

Everything! The facilities are very beautiful, clean and maintained with care. Food is very delicious and there is always variety of different cuisines and options. Cocktails were professionally made, with good quality ingredients, tasty. Staff is super friendly in a nice, pleasant way. Room was clean, beautiful, spacious and had everything we needed. Beach in front of the hotel is well maintained, not crowded and very calm. There are several beds from the hotel on the beach where you can rest and enjoy the day. We stayed for a week and loved every moment.
