Safiya and the staff are amazing. She picked us up from the airport and had our room and atv ready. The grounds are immaculate with a nice intimate restaurant and small pool. The room we had was super comfortable and steps to the ocean. The staff will give you all of the best beaches and spots to take in.

I love feeling safe while on vacation. I don’t want to stress out about possible dangers. This place was not only stunningly beautiful, it offered me the peace, and tranquility I needed during my stay. No one bothers you, and all the people are very lovely on the island. Definitely recommend this hotel and their lovely chef. The food was delicious and a tad expensive but it was worth it! I’m definitely booking this place again soon!

Great hotel. Clean and comfortable. Staff is accommodating. They go out of their way to ensure your needs are met. They took care of the rental car, making reservations at a local restaurant, and picking us up at the airport. Great place to stay right on the water.
