Had an amazing time, stunning and amazing staffHad an amazing time, stunning and amazing staff
Had an amazing time here with my partner for a romantic getaway! The island is stunning with some of the best beaches I've been to, amazing friendly staff who were very accommodating to our needs. The food and drink selection is great and very reasonable priced. Snorkelling from the island was absolutely amazing! I recommend getting a bottle of wine and watching the sunset on putney beach then heading to the bistro for some dinnerHad an amazing time here with my partner for a romantic getaway!

Wanted to stay longer ! Wanted to stay longer !
We just spent 4 glorious days here - we all wanted to stay longer! The resort staff were very accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. We stayed I Putney Place 1brm which was perfect for our family of 3. We took our own snacks, cheese platter and wine in the afternoon overlooking the bay was fabulous. Most meals at the restaurant were good. Happy Hour was great value. The snorkelling at Shelving Beach was perfect. We will check out the other spots on our next trip.

Absolutely fantastic, staff were friendly Absolutely fantastic, staff were friendly
Absolutely fantastic, the island doesn’t need anything fancy to make it incredible Mother Nature has done the heavy lifting! Our room was basic but lovely and clean. The staff were friendly and the food was great. Only critique would be a new shower head wouldn’t go astray.

Super welcoming, highly recommend ! Super welcoming, highly recommend !
Jordy was an absolute superstar! We decided to stay on the island last minute and she sorted everything out for us, gave us a lovely room and even gave us a phone charger. She was super welcoming and friendly, as were all the other staff. Would highly recommend the Hideaway as it is right on the beach so you can step out of your room and watch sunrise and sunset.Jordy was an absolute superstar!
