"This is arguably the best location to stay on Pine Island. The Piscine Natural is rated the top spot to visit on the island - yet the colourful coral and fish were better in the water off this resort. This is a 4 star resort, although apart from a little aging, it is hard to fault. Not many resorts have pools - so this was an added bonus. It felt like we had the hotel and island pretty much to ourselves with only a handful of guests staying. (the recent riots have kept tourists away, although could see no evidence on the island of unrest and all was calm). Food was not cheap any where really, so be prepared to pay 'fine dining' prices at restaurants (except perhaps for pizza etc at Gite Nataiwatch next door). The only criticism/disappointment was that with only a handful of guests in the whole resort, that an upgrade to an ocean front villa, instead of the garden one we booked, might have taken our stay to a whole other level, but that said, our garden villa was only steps away from the beach and was just lovely. (they should also reduce the cost of renting a bike) I always like to know about beds when I read reviews as we love a soft bed, Oure's bed's were a happy medium - not too soft and not too hard, we had absolutely no trouble falling asleep each night :) I HIGHLY recommend going to Pine Island and staying here - truly an exceptional untouched place on this earth - with lots of sea turtles too! :) "

"A beautiful location almost surrounded by water. Service was excellent and the staff are very friendly. The problem for us was the room lighting; it was a like being in a twilight zone ! It was too dim to read a book! The other problem was that we were unable to access the Internet on our i-Pads in the room, though the phone connection was good."
