Average and expensive on-site food
Although you will be spoilt for choice when it comes to on-site dining, you will be quite disappointed with the prices. The on-site restaurants are heavily expensive and offer average quality food. There are no other restaurants within walking distance from this hotel.

Expensive boat transfer
Even though most guests thoroughly enjoyed their stay at this hotel, there have been many complaints regarding the boat fee to get on and off the island. You are made to take this journey as there are no roads from the main land to the island.
