I had a mixed experience at this resort. The location was stunning, tucked away and serene, just a short ferry ride from the mainland. However, I was let down by the room's cleanliness on arrival and the overall dated look of the accommodations. The staff was friendly and helpful, but the dining options left a lot to be desired considering the high prices. The resort has great potential, but it feels like some areas need more attention.
