"Great location,the island is small and cozy - you can really feel private in there. The food is very good but sometimes the meat was undercooked. Also great and polite service. Overall amazing paradise with small con being a food sometimes. But anyway I would recommend it!"
Rafał Trybus
"Lovely resort! Highly recommend their water villas! They can get quite hot during the afternoon as they get full frontal sun but you are able to enjoy beautiful sunsets so it balances out. I love how small the resort is, you truly get peace and quiet. Lovely place to relax, swim, snorkel and enjoy! Totally coming back!"
