Perfect island paradise
Truly an island paradise. La Passion is definitely the nicest resort in this area of the island (though we also liked Sara resort). It’s located about midway between the 2 ferry piers, so be sure to arrange transport with resort a couple days in advance. We tried calling/emailing earlier the same day of arrival & got no response or pickup. Thankfully another resort boat gave us a lift for $5. Otherwise you’d be stuck trapesing your luggage 20 mins down the hot sandy beach. Husband ended up getting sick while there (unrelated to our food/stay), so my experience of the island is limited, but here are some details. Between the 2 ferry piers, I think Passion is 1 of 3 resorts with a pool (others are Sara & Eden), Passion’s was the nicest - infinity pool next to the sea with lovely cabanas and loungers. More loungers on the sand. There was no race to claim loungers (as I’ve experienced in Hawaii), plenty to go around. It’s a massive property. There’s a nice bar & restaurant adjacent to the pool / loungers with western & Asian options. Fruit smoothies, espresso drinks, and cocktails were top notch (about $5 each). All of the accommodations are located well inland and slightly uphill, so it’s a bit of a walk back & forth. Our room was 100m back. It’s all paved walkways and they golf cart you there initially. Rooms share walls and lack soundproofing. Others complained of garbage on the beach, we saw one stretch of littered beach, but otherwise almost none. Overall highly recommend!
