Beautiful quite serene island away from the hustle and bustle of city. A bit of challenge to reach the place so one needs to do a bit of research to reach there. If possible avoid private transfers, its damm cosly. Overall its a fantastic place to stay.

A really peaceful and great experience! We had a really relaxing time despite being there during the tropical storm. The staff were all so nice and attentive. The food was decent, maybe a bit overpriced for what we get but still good!

Expensive to get to if there is less than 4 of you. You have to charter an entire boat. But once you’re there it is lovely. The staff are very friendly and the food at the restaurant isn’t overpriced and it’s good quality.
