Courtney, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

For a relatively remote island, the facilities met and exceeded all my expectations. The hotel is located very close to some popular eating destinations, and the locals provide an electric tram service that can take you pretty much anywhere on the island you want to go that you don't feel like walking to. We will definitely stay here again.
