We loved everything about our stay. We were welcomed by Chris, one of the hosts,, who explained the island to us, recommended come activities, and even arranged, transportation and reservations. Zoe was also excellent. They treated us like VIP from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. It was an amazing experience and when we will never forget.
