9.2/10 Wonderful! (269 reviews)
Lovely location (beautiful views!) with amazing staff (shout out to Ghislaine!). It is a bit expensive and things like the bike and scooter rentals are add-ons as well, but this is what I'd expect in an isolated area like this. Do recommend!

There only reason for the four stars on the property is because there is a lot of renovations going on that will only make it better. Food was really good. I enjoyed there pool looking over the beautiful lagoon.
