We stayed here for 7 nights and everything was perfect. The accommodation was clean and spacious with a separate lounge, bedroom and bathroom. The food was perfect in the beach restaurant and the main restaurant and was served by very friendly and attentive staff. We never had to request anything as our needs were always anticipated. Nothing was too much trouble for them. There is no WIFI in the cottages and there are no tv’s so it is an ideal location to just relax and enjoy the sunshine and the food.

“Good stay / bad service”

Stayed over Christmas and it was a stunning place. Island is beautiful, and makes up for the generally very lazy and rude service. Would still return but bare in mind that you are paying for the islands natural beauty, not any of the hotel facilities or service.

“Bit of a disappointment”

This is a difficult review to write. Having been twice before we were expecting more of the same, but what we got was quite different. There has been a change in ownership and management which has really impacted on the island. There was a distinct lack of management and some of the staff were clearly quite demoralised. Quite a few of the staff apologised that new management was taking a little time to get things up to par and we never saw any of them around. Such a shame. The accommodation is good but the high price you pay has to cover more than just a nice cottage. Unfortunately the food is a big let down and has been dumbed down considerably. There was also a lack of people there, not something that you can say is the fault of the resort, but I wonder if the high price versus what you now get is putting people off. Breakfast has good choices and of course you can go the main restaurant gardens to eat or have it served to your room. Lunch and dinner is served at Goaties, the beach restaurant, and has an extensive menu but it doesn't change. .Previously if you went to Goaties there were always live lobsters available from the lobster well, but not this time. The only lobster that was available was in a wrap or tempura and quite frankly the pieces of lobster were grisly and chewy and inedible. The lack of people also meant that there was virtually no-one in Goaties in the evening. Clive and the staff were always pleased to see you therefore and were the friendliest staff around. The main restaurant is only open in the evenings and serves a 3 course dinner which is good and has a good atmosphere. Staff wise there should be a special mention for Gede and Primus who were always helpful and friendly and Kenroy who took care of us most days in the restaurants. I think all the staff did their best with what was going on there. The West End beaches are well looked after but the furniture is now a bit past its sell by date with tatty cushions and broken arms on loungers. Being in one of the most isolated cottages with a temperamental satellite phone, we relied on the flag system. Unfortunately for us this did not always work. When you put a note in the box outside your cottage and put the yellow flag up for service, the note is taken but not always actioned. Twice we requested evening transport and neither time did it come. Overall we were a bit disappointed with the trip.
