“This place is a relaxed haven where you can easily spend a week. The staff's genuine warmth stood out, as did the clever design of the dorms and private huts nestled amidst palms. With Horseshoe Bay a short walk away, and the island accessible by bus from right outside, it's a nature-filled escape with a social heart.”
