Why guests love it

Being the only resort on the island took some getting used to, no wandering off to compare menus elsewhere, but it also meant our kids' routine never got disrupted by a change of scenery. The house reef right off the beach became our default afternoon activity, and the spa gave my partner and me two evenings alone while the older kids stayed at the beach club. The seaplane arrival itself was a genuine trip highlight for our children.
