What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious On-Site Meals

The food at the Shipwreck Bar was consistently delightful! I particularly enjoyed the Fish and Chips, which were beautifully cooked, and the Chicken Burger that was bursting with flavor. The prices were reasonable too; my Pina Colada was only $15, which is a steal compared to other places. I loved having meals right by the beach, and it was a great spot to relax with stunning views while enjoying live music on certain nights.

Comfortable Living Space

I was thrilled with the self-contained unit that I stayed in. It had everything I needed, including a well-equipped kitchenette and clean, comfy beds. The accommodation was spacious, allowing me to relax after long days of snorkeling and exploring. Plus, the proximity to the beach was amazing as I could just step outside to enjoy the beautiful lagoon.

Spotless & Functional

The bathroom amenities in my unit were top notch. Everything was perfectly clean and functional, which made my stay much more pleasant. I had ample hot water for showers and a comfortable layout that made it easy to get ready for a day of adventures in paradise.

Great Live Music Nights

I absolutely loved the evenings at the Shipwreck Bar, where local musicians performed live music. It added such a cozy and vibrant atmosphere to the place! Enjoying a drink while listening to the tunes while watching the sunset was one of the highlights of my trip.
