Horrible from the start. Arrived ant 9am and no towels were provided despite it being an island meant to enjoy water activities. Room was ready at 3 and walked into a horror movie. From bugs to a moldy shower and an odor of furniture more than 20 years old. The air vents around the property were swimming in dust and the fans at FOXYS were rusted to the point of almost falling on guests. For the resort to charge almost 900$ for a room is absolutely ridiculous and insulting. We attempted to eat dinner at their “fine dining” restaurant which was far from “fine dining” as a local from Miami we know what fine dining is. You have to order a minimum of two dishes coming out to 68$ minimum evening if you’re just feeling peckish and order a dish they’ll try to charge you the 68$. Mind you the furniture at this “fine dining” establishment is rusted using plastic chairs never mind the servers are rude and dressed in Tshirts. Will definitely NOT be returning and will be spreading the word internationally.

Great resort on island. Read mixed reviews before booking but was happy with my stay in early May. On days I was there the Conditions were not great for snorkelling but there are daily activities you can do and I hiked all available trails. The lighthouse/summit track is very steep so was challenging but rewarding at top. Wifi was good but dropped one day so just asked reception for a new code and that worked. Friendly and helpful staff. Did turtle recovery centre tour and nature walk. Lovely pool area. Decent food at the bar area further away (forget the name). Beach was nice but beware scraping yourself on (dead or alive) coral! I agree with some reviews that they didn’t seem to advocate much environmental awareness (no recycling for example). A unique experience in a picturesque setting.

I was very happy about the staff, very thoughtful. Special mention to Rodney and Rachel. I did overhear a conversation in Foxy’s, with a worker and tourist-unpleasant. Apart from that, everyone was amazing and the Electrician was very helpful too. Thank you -my son will not forget his birthday in a hurry. The Up-Grade was Really Appreciated.

The location was good being close to areas to snorkle and close to the lighthouse and summit. The food at the restaurant was good but there needs to be one or two more food outlets. Checkin would be much better at 10am. 3pm is way too late ! If there is a late check in there needs to be free lockers for luggage and wet snorkling and wetsuits hangers rather than carrying wet gear until 3pm. A ferry at 3pm in addition to the morning one and 12:15 and 5pm ferry would be very much appreciated. Also the rooms have no reading bedside lights. The rooms also face a rock wall, rather than the ocean which is a big shame being on an island.

Overall, the place was beautiful. Our room was mediocre - didn't realize we had reserved one without windows. The snorkeling was great across from the turtle center. Nudey beach is beautiful but the snorkeling there is not nearly as good.

The property was remote and beautiful. It is a small, unpopulated tropical island that is a national park. There were very little food options at the two restaurants and no option to buy snacks or food. It was interesting that there was a full kitchen in the suite but no where to buy food to cook.

The experience was fine - definitely not the most hospitable experience, but it had the basics. I suppose the accommodation was inexpensive so you’re paying for what you’re getting. The island itself is beautiful and is worth visiting, especially to swim, snorkel, and hike.

This place is a very casual, family friendly place to stay and explore, staff are very welcoming and love teaching the kids about the reef, And the surrounds, excellent hike up to the summit of the island, "7 and 10 year old got up" albeit, pack some water. Had a great stay and explored the island over 3 days and loved the experience.... Definitely coming back!

One bedroom with attached dungeon.

The "two bedroom suite" was a beautiful one bedroom suite with an adjacent (but securely connected) dungeon that faced a walkway. You could not open the curtains without full exposure to all. Ok to put the kids to sleep in, but that's it. Don't go there with another couple. Also should mention the way overpriced Zephyr restaurant. Save your money and get a burger at Foxy's. Having said all that, and knowing what I know now, I'd still go back. Lots of great people in a beautiful setting. Oh, andca shout out to the glass bottom boat tour guide with the big eyebrows.
