Wonderful experience!!!!
Pros:

If you are looking to escape the real world and submerge your family in raw nature without sacrificing soulful hospitality, this small, charming boutique hotel is it.
We traveled as a family of four in August 2026, and the surrounding environment is nothing short of breathtaking—a lush, vibrant paradise where the jungle meets the crystal-clear water.
We checked into the 4-person suite, and it was stunning. The highlight was undoubtedly our private terrace overlooking the pier, complete with a hammock. Spending afternoons swinging there with that view was pure bliss for everyone. The entire property has an intimate vibe that instantly makes you feel at home rather than just a guest in a hotel.
One of the standout aspects of the service is their genuine care for safety and local knowledge. They provide complimentary snorkel gear, which is fantastic because the marine life right around the island is beautiful. However, if the weather takes a turn and conditions aren’t safe, the staff is proactive and advises you honestly against heading out. They also help seamlessly coordinate custom boat trips around the area whenever you want to explore.

The Culinary Journey: A word of advice for future travelers: leave your rushing mindset at the mainland dock. The food here is completely homemade, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The true magic is that everything is cooked to order and takes its time. Embrace the slow-food philosophy. We enjoyed incredible fresh fruit, great drinks, superb shareable platters, fantastic cocktails, and authentic desserts that left us wanting more every single night

The entire staff works tirelessly, but a few individuals deserve a special mention. Luana is an absolute powerhouse—she manages absolutely everything at the hotel with flawless grace and efficiency.
This place is worth every single penny. A flawless 10/10 family stay that we will never forget.

Relax al mare in mezzo alla natura rigogliosa dell’isola
Pros:

Il posto è bellissimo e paradisiaco, perfetto per chi vuole rilassarsi qualche giorno. L’atmosfera è molto rilassante, le stanze affacciano direttamente sul mare e anche il ristorante ha una posizione fantastica.
La ragazza che faceva i massaggi e lezione di yoga era molto preparata e gentile.

Cons:

Ristorante è molto buono, unica pecca ha dei tempi di attesa molto molto lunghi. È l’unico posto dove puoi mangiare dato che l’hotel è isolato, ma hanno un menu molto ampio che ti permette di mangiare sempre cose diverse. Ci sarebbe piaciuto solo che l’attesa fosse più breve

heel rustig en ideaal na een rondreis
Pros:

lekker eten en restaurant was goed. personeel heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam. ligging aan mooi en rustig strandje. Je moet wel boot (transfers per boot zijn niet goedkoop) nemen om iets te bezichtigen. Je kan wel wandelen vanaf het hotel naar ander strandje. Paadjes door mooie natuur langs kust.

Retraite tranquille dans un paysage incroyable.
Pros:

Les paysages,la plage privée, les couchers et levers de soleil,la proximité du lagon bleu en font une destination d’une rare beauté. Les hamacs sur les balcons et l’ameublement extérieur de bois très joli.

Cons:

Ne pas avoir accès à du café avant l’ouverture du restaurant à 8h le matin, pas de miroir long dans les chambres, très petit espace salle de bain et surtout le fait qu’il faut payer très cher pour les déplacements en bateau taxi ailleurs sur l’île si non, on doit prendre tous ses repas au seul restaurant de l’hôtel.
