A great stay — even when travel plans changed.

A January trip reviewed in May 2024 praised the beachfront, food, cocktails and staff, then showed how much local help matters when island transport changes.

Island trips sometimes require flexibility. A Tripadvisor review from May 2024 tells the story of a stay that went well even when the onward journey did not go to plan.

The couple stayed for almost a week and praised the beachfront, meals and the service around the bar. The weather was mixed, and when a boat connection could not operate, their onward itinerary had to change at short notice.

The review highlights the help they received reorganising the journey and reaching the airport. For visitors moving between islands, that kind of local assistance can matter just as much as the room or the view.

It is also a reminder to keep some flexibility in ferry and boat plans, especially when weather is unsettled. Our Getting Here page is the best place to start, but final schedules should always be checked close to travel.
