Visiting in mid August. Love the island's relaxed atmosphere, large beach bungalow directly 3 metres from the water, corals with plenty of marine life for snorkeling right at your doorstep. Food on the Full Board could be improved with a bit of salt and more accurate cooking, especially beef which is often tough, or overcooked, though large variety of choices makes sure there's always something ok to eat. Stick to local style cooked dishes and salads, is my advice. The resort groes their own hydroponic salad, chinese cabbage, bok choy; bananitas and coconuts). Tried the Fish Market restaurant and found it expensive and disappointing ($80 for 1 grilled squid, 1 overcooked dry grilled tuna steak, 1 grilled red snapper steak, 1 bottle water & 1 beer and with 20% discount applied, works out at about double what I'd calculated from menu prices _ $4x 100grams fish /$5 squid). Staff very kind, beach and gardens pristinely clean. I would not pay the extra price to be in the water bungalows. First photo is view from our bungalow #272. There's a 10 minute walk to reception /main restaurant but it's good excercise! Would definitely return and recommend both for couples or families.
