Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: This place is absolutely amazing. Location in the marine park makes for the most beautiful scenery, with lots of space, beautiful grounds, and quiet beach. The scuba diving and snorkelling are absolutely pristine, the food and drinks were perfect, and the staff could not have been friendlier. We were absolutely gutted to leave!
Negative: Nothing
Summary: Slice of paradise - I want to live there full time
