We were welcomed with flowers and a beautiful tropical fruit platter.
The room was as pictured, very clean and right on the beach. Great swimming beach and we snorkelled.
Nice and quiet we cooked most of our meals
Thank you for a relaxing holiday my husband and I really needed.
Absolutely loved this accommodation, spent 12 days there as a solo traveller. Perfect beachfront location , quiet part of the Island. With perfect amenities closeby supermarket etc.
Swimming, Snorkelling and just enjoying the vibe of the Island.
Accommodation had everything I needed for my stay. There is a restaurant very closeby, only open in the evenings. I had cocktails takeaways! But also dined.
Dvd store plus pizza .
If you are after solitude, well this is the perfect spot.
Absolutely fantastic location. The Bach is roomy and has all you can ask for. The deck is large and new and fitted with very comfortable furniture. You can sit there all day listening to the waves and taking in the stunning view.
Great king size bed with cotton bed linen. Plenty of towels are provided and there was beautiful flowers and a fruit platter on our arrival. The kitchen has all you can need and the bathroom is nice too.
Cannot fault this fantastic Bach - we will definitely be back.
Really great place, awesome location, all you need.
Was kicking myself when we arrived, because i never realized it has no AC. I thought we were destined to a few days of sweating ahead. BUT... the ocean breezes did a wonderful job of cooling the place down. I was worried that a restaurant so close might bring unwanted noise and smells... but there again, not at all. It was really actually pretty great have a good restaurant so close.
Would stay again in a heartbeat!!
