Island life
Pros:

For me , my first introduction to a Pacific island was a dream.
The beaches, were magnificent not a tourist trap and the local people were genuinely friendly.
I'm Irish and it appeared a bit of a rarity there . But made very welcome indeed.
The fish was superb and the weather unbelievable.
If you like a wonderful but simple break ,this is it ...

Cons:

I genuinely cannot think of anything... The airstrip ,I suppose but it's necessary...
