"Very busy with tourists from 9am to 4pm, but even then you can find quiet areas of beach around the back of the island. Outside those hours it's a quiet, secluded paradise. All the staff are fantastic and go beyond to make you feel welcomed and comfortable, food is good quality and reasonably priced. ..."
