lovely island retreat

quick ferryrich buffetgreat beachsmall cubicle

the ferry to the island runs quickly. it took only 8 minutes to get to the town for a tour. the hotel buffet was rich with a lot of options at all times. pools and the beach are great for families.

the shower cubicle was small. it was borderline unusable, made showering difficult. there was also no pool bar, requiring a walk back to the hotel for refreshments.

wonderful island retreat

spacious groundsconvenient boat

I enjoyed the hotel's spacious public areas and the extensive grounds. There were many sun loungers near the pools and around the island's small beaches. The boat trip to and from the island was quick and convenient. Staff members were friendly and accommodating, and i appreciated their assistance.

I had to carry my bags down a flight of steps to get to reception during checkout. There was no offer to help with my luggage.
