The staff were friendly upon arrival and throughout my stay. The hotel offers a private beach, a detail not advertised enough. It includes a boat transfer to another island. You can get drinks there.
The room I was assigned faced the street. It was noisy! External noise disrupted my sleep. I was moved to another room but noise persisted.
