The resort became an obvious choice being ranked 1 at trip advisor. I would say it was a touch expensive for this time of the year. Well if you are looking for a peaceful quite time and relaxation, its a good place. Its away from the main town and has an access by boat, so in a way you're cut... More

The rooms were extremely clean and the sheets were soft. In the bathroom, your shower faced a small enclosed outdoor area which made it feel like you were showering outside.... More
