What a fabulous place to stay; the most charming hosts in such a peaceful location. Spotlessly clean, comfortable, ADULTS ONLY, in the most beautiful position. We were three metres from the pool and 15 metres from the sea, with uninterrupted views, except for the coconut palms. I cannot recommend it enough, if you want to avoid the resort life and just relax this is the place.

Pleasant Stay

The Sunhaven is small, cute resort with great views of the beach and ocean right from your deck. The beach has quite a bit of coral so it would be a good idea to wear water shoes. You can take a short walk down to find an area with less or no coral. The bungalows are spacious and have an 80's vibe to them...pink walls and wicker floral furniture. The resort and rooms are clean. They have a barbecue, hammocks and water shoes for use. The office is only open a few hours per day so I feel it's important to notify them of your flight information so arrangements can be made for check in. They can arrange airport transport for $25 per person (the airport is 6 km away) but we decided to hire a taxi ourselves and it only cost $10 per person. They have beach towels available however they require a $25 cash deposit on them.
