What a beautiful little gem! After being so pleasantly greeted by Heaven at the check in desk, we headed to our room which was beautifully presented and so clean! Absolutely gutted to not be staying here for longer than one night but we will be recommending to all of our friends and family. Unfortunately we didn’t get to use the pool or the kayak/bike hire due to a lack of time, but if I had known how incredible this place was, I definitely would’ve made an effort to stay a few more nights. The private beach is beautiful and the included breakfast was delicious! Thank you for a wonderful stay, it was one of the highlights of my whole trip!
