We had such high expectations for this resort as our booking agent (Audley) had convinced us it was the place to go. Maybe it was once. It is a truly picturesque location but the resort feels worn. The room we had was ok but we expected far, far more for the price. The decor is dated, our sink was cracked, the fruit plate was old (the peach had mould on it). A ventilation fan for the kitchen seems to run until the early hours so its not quite as serene as we expected. The food was ok, but unremarkable. Neither my wife or I could eat the eggs for breakfast as they were bland and swimming in oil. The tasting menu was uncreative, bland, tiny portions and generally over cooked. The place feels set up to maximise customer spend, not to make guests feel really special, as the price implies (it takes 30 mins to get there by water taxi) Its a shame because its an incredible location. The staff seemed indifferent to us (for example, we had to ask for cushions for the outdoor furniture and no one took the time to show us around the resort). To be fair, the weather was poor while we were here and that probably meant I focused on the resort more than I would have had the sun shone. So Id say there are probably better places to spend your time and money. This place needs serious TLC, far more high end touches, better leadership and more investment.

We had an outstanding experience here. We stayed for two nights as our honeymoon. The location is quite simply incredible. The apartments all feel very private whilst at the same time giving you expansive views of the bay. We paddled with SUPs and kayaks both mornings with the dolphins. The small occupancy and expansive grounds means the resort does not feel commercial at all. The food is very good, especially given the remote location. We thought that overall this offered reasonable value, and would love to come back one day.
