8.2/10 Very Good! (792 reviews)

Hotel ground is beautifully located along the black sand beach. Hotel room is spacious with an ocean view; furniture is outdated and draperies were dirty. There was not enough electrical outlets that conveniently located near bed to charge cellular devices. Appreciate the tiny fridge to keep few bottles of water chill. Parking spaces were available on site. Staffs were not answering emails when messages sent through Expedia website for inquiries prior to travel.

8.8/10 Excellent! (1,001 reviews)

We got an overwater bungalow and it did not disappoint. We could view the fish (and even an octopus!) under our bungalow through a glass panel in the floor. We could also climb down into the water directly from the deck in front. The water is very clear and shallow close to the property, and it's easy to snorkel. We got the breakfast package when offered, and the food was decent, although like everything else on the island, expensive for what you get. We also had lunch and dinner at the hotel a few times and it was pretty good. Staff was lovely, grounds were beautiful.
