Excellent

An enjoyable stay!
Date:
I stayed here with a group of friends in November 2012 - we were a little apprehensive, having seen the reviews on here after we had booked! However, we needn't have worried. We had a really enjoyable...

Avoid at all cost!
Date:
This is probably the worst place I have ever stayed in forty years of travel. One of our party called it a "pigeon nest" which is actually being kind. The first thing we tried to do when we saw our...

Very Good

Had a great time
Date:
I didn't stay anywhere else on the island, so I can't compare it to another place. Location: it's out of the way, but the walk didn't bother me. I personally would prefer to stay closer to the...

Worst hotel ever!
Date:
Do not book this hotel ahead of time. You won't get your money back because when you go there, you'll be like us and not stay a single night there. We lost our 2 night stay but it was worth not...

Very Poor Experience
Date:
Please read the reviews - we wish we had done so prior to booking this hotel! First, we had to wait on the boat dock for almost 45 mins for the staff to find a cart to haul our luggage. By the time...

Basic but clean & polite staff
Date:
You get what you pay for as they say! The place is about a 10/15 min walk from the beach but because there is no real taxi service on the island it does feel like a good walk in the heat with your...

Cheap accommodation & nothing really else

The place was fine for the price but it really is NO FRILLS. After trying to climb up half a mountain to get to the "resort" you then need to negotiate stairs that are very high. Once you have...

Our neighbours where ransacked.
Date:
The rooms are pretty much good value for money - it's a backpackers so if you're looking for a luxury stay, this isn't for you. The main reason I rate this place poorly is because on the last night...

The hotel is situated up a hill away from the main town. While this means we had to walk down to the main town, it also meant the hotel was quiet at night. As it is quite far from the beach, the hotel...
