Fantastic Island Getaway!

special islandfriendly greetingpolite staff
The island is special right from the short ferry crossing. The ferry operator carefully guides you onto the boat. I found the reception greeting friendly and cute. Staff were friendly and polite. Nathan were great!!!
The swimming pool is a bit dated, and a few tiles are missing on the steps.

The location had a beautiful setting. The island was peaceful.
The chalet felt outdated and quite basic. the beds were uncomfortable and the linens seemed very cheap. It seemed like minimal investment has been made.
