Villa abuts the ocean; you wake up to the sound of crashing waves right outside. Private swimming pool offers refreshing reprieve from the hot days, and romantic hangout on evenings. In-unit washer is a great help. The villa is one of several in the complex. While we were there, the occupancy rate was very low, and we practically had the place all to ourselves. Facing the ocean means you get unobstructed view of the daily spectacle of sunsets. During low tides when the ocean front is accessible, the entire beach (quite flat out into the water) is for our enjoyment.

We stayed in Ocean Wing and the room was very spacious. In overall the food in restaurants à la carte and buffet is good. They have a really great Spa at the hotel, which is definitely worth it. The pool area at ocean wing is very nice, as well as the beach. We did the sunset morning hike which was totally worth it.

We booked one of the hillside lodges and had the private beach just in front of us. The lodge was spacy, comfortable, clean and luxurios with big windows faced to the sea. After the masses of daily tourists left the island at 4:30 pm it was quiet and calm. The staff was very friendly and polite. We would definetly recommend to go there and enjoy the cristal clear sea and sunsets.

The location is wonderful. The private beach with shaded chairs provides an excellent escape from the crowds. Snorkeling is generally pretty good. Lots of activities available of your interested. The rooms are huge and the hilltop ones have a wonderful view of the ocean from the 2nd floor bedroom balcony. The staff are all very kind and helpful when available. The food is decent.

Very beautiful hill side villa and private beach. Secluded when tourists are gone after 4 pm. Even though the corals are not that colorful, we saw a lot of different fishes. Staff members were very friendly and helpful. Walk to and sunset spot are picturesque.
