"The resort is very nice, not to big, very well maintained and located. Our room (studio with terrace) was spacious and private. I believe it was recently refurbished and super clean. All appliances were new. Breakfast was provided in resort's restaurant. It is very basic but with option to order a la carte."

"The location was great, only a ten minute drive from the airport. It was on the sunset side of the island. The resort had two pools, one had a bar which had happy three hours, and a bar in the pool you could sit at to have your drink. The rooms were clean, tidy and had everything you needed if you wanted to self cater. The included continental breakfast was small but had three different types of muesli, a yogurt, about five different types of tropical fruits, plus three different sorts of toasts. The only comment i would make is that it would be nice to see honey and maybe a raisin toast included. We had barista made coffee each morning, it was ok, but the baristas didn't seem very experienced, however they were happy to accept suggestions eg needs to be hotter, fill cup to top with milk etc. My husband and i are very fussy about our coffee as we have owned two large cafes in New Zealand resort towns and I have been a barista for 17 years."
"I got stung by a bug in the pool while i was flicking bugs out of it, not the resorts fault, but just be warned not to flick bugs out with your hands. I went to reception to see if they had anything to stop the stinging and they told me to pick a leaf off the tree opposite reception, and press the stalk end on the sting so the sap would take the sting away, and it did. The receptionist said she would check on me in ten minutes, and she did, and bought a fresh leaf, plus some pain killing ointment, so that was fantastic service. The older receptionist was friendly, but not so helpful, I asked her a couple of questions, one being when was the high tide, and she told me to google it. I would have thought as a service she could have looked it up, and in fact it would be something good for them to know each day anyway. Also, we were so careful trying to not get bitten by mosquitos, including spraying ourselves several times a day and spraying our room with fly spray when we left it, but we returned to find the cleaner in our room cleaning with the door wide open, which the mosquitos could & did come in by."

"Had an upstairs accommodation. Next time we'll book a beachfront one."
"This resort was the perfect size. Small enough to be have that boutique feel of the staff remembering your name and peaceful beach vibes but big enough to have two great pools, an awesome little bar for happy hour and a fabulous restaurant."
"Nothing not to like but probably hire a car if you like big shops nearby."

"The bed was a bit hard we got a sore back also the chairs in the kitchen weren’t very good"
"Everything was advertised. The facilities were clean and comfortable and the food service first rate. The staff were friendly and helpful. The resort has a great location: the beach was a few steps from our room, there are good restaurants, a bakery and a brewery a short walk away, and the bus stop is at the foot of the driveway."

"Breakfast was more than we expected. The range of cereals, fruit, juices, teas, bread for toast, milk etc was more than we anticipated. The fruit was wonderfully fresh and delicious. There was certainly plenty for all tastes. the location of the breakfast food was easy to access, with a great choice of where to sit and eat both under cover outside or within the dining room."

Avis de Tanya The Black Pearl Beachside Apartments
"The staff was super friendly. The bungalows are very spacious with a living room area, kitchen, good size bathroom and nice size bedroom. Great location on the west side of the island so you are sheltered from the wind. Great location for viewing the sunsets and seeing the whales"
Avis de Bradley Crown Beach Resort & Spa
"It was great, room was ready to go; key in door, friendly greeting on a message board when I arrived. The owners were great, I enjoyed running into them for a chat and info on local advice."
Avis de Mark The Cooks Oasis
"Liked the area, it was a little quieter and the resort being smaller meant a more intimate experience. Yes a car or scooter is ideal but no issues with the busses."

All the equipment provided helps you experience life is so many enjoyable ways."
