The villas are well-appointed, roomy and comfortable. The beaches are gorgeous, as is the water. The entire island is extremely clean, everything is kept in good condition.

Service is impeccable. A polite staff member is always on hand to help. The answer to any request is "certainly" or "of course, no problem".

Food is surprisingly excellent. While the prices for both food and drinks are exorbitant - be prepared to pay upwards of $35 for a burger - the quality of the food is very good. The menu is varied and contains favorites from around the globe, all of which taste great.

Some reviewers noted the proximity to the airport. Yes, planes fly overhead when taking off or, depending on the wind, landing. However, it should be kept in mind that MLE is not exactly a busy airport. There are a handful of larger planes during the day, but it's hardly a problem. On the contrary, the short distance to the airport means not having to waste time and money on a seaplane transfer.
