The location was good being close to areas to snorkle and close to the lighthouse and summit. The food at the restaurant was good but there needs to be one or two more food outlets. Checkin would be much better at 10am. 3pm is way too late ! If there is a late check in there needs to be free lockers for luggage and wet snorkling and wetsuits hangers rather than carrying wet gear until 3pm. A ferry at 3pm in addition to the morning one and 12:15 and 5pm ferry would be very much appreciated. Also the rooms have no reading bedside lights. The rooms also face a rock wall, rather than the ocean which is a big shame being on an island.

Overall, the place was beautiful. Our room was mediocre - didn't realize we had reserved one without windows. The snorkeling was great across from the turtle center. Nudey beach is beautiful but the snorkeling there is not nearly as good.

The property was remote and beautiful. It is a small, unpopulated tropical island that is a national park. There were very little food options at the two restaurants and no option to buy snacks or food. It was interesting that there was a full kitchen in the suite but no where to buy food to cook.

The experience was fine - definitely not the most hospitable experience, but it had the basics. I suppose the accommodation was inexpensive so you’re paying for what you’re getting. The island itself is beautiful and is worth visiting, especially to swim, snorkel, and hike.

The "two bedroom suite" was a beautiful one bedroom suite with an adjacent (but securely connected) dungeon that faced a walkway. You could not open the curtains without full exposure to all. Ok to put the kids to sleep in, but that's it. Don't go there with another couple. Also should mention the way overpriced Zephyr restaurant. Save your money and get a burger at Foxy's. Having said all that, and knowing what I know now, I'd still go back. Lots of great people in a beautiful setting. Oh, andca shout out to the glass bottom boat tour guide with the big eyebrows.

Lovely island and snorkelling especially to the left of the bar/food area. Limited selection of menu options in bar. Must walk round to nudey beach. Guided snorkel trip - saw more from the shore. Snorkelling guide insisted you jump off side of boat into sea, not suitable for novice or new snorkellers. Should be allowed to use steps going down slowly and back wards. Would not recommend. You are not supposed to take alchohol onto island yet we were on holiday and the bar was closing at 8pm and restaurant bar 8.30 - very disappointing. Island shop a joke - not very good selection only muffins, sausage rolls, crisps, ice cream, refreshments, good range of fresh sandwiches though. As many nic naks as food items. We left the island a night early because we wanted to go on a snorkelling outer reef tour.
