I stayed at the resort for a whole week. It was a peaceful and secluded place, yet conveniently located for exploring the rest of the island. The beach was lovely and private, but you needed to wear footwear to enter the water because of the rocky bottom. There was also a fantastic tidal pool area to discover. The beach shack served delicious drinks and food, and the Razzle Dazzle frozen drink was the absolute best. The accommodations were very clean, although they had a slightly old-fashioned feel. Additionally, there was a nice pool area to enjoy.
