The island was beautiful. The cabin was adequate Only feedback would be that a towel change in 3 days would have been nice. The air conditioner was vibrating the whole cabin at times, keeping that room awake. Main bed was uncomfortable mattress. Dining table was falling apart. Broom broke (rusted) first day. Staff were lovely in the restaurant and reception. Cabin number one.

I didnt like the long walk around to the cabin due to the construction going on but other than that it was a very pleasant stay. It would be nicer to have another option for somewhere to eat also as the food was below average and overly priced.

While the island and amenities are caught in a time warp from a bygone era…. It is actually what made the experience unique and quirky. A golden destination without all the glitz and expensive glam
