When we say this place has it all, we really mean it!
First of all, it is incredibly clean and has everything you could ask for but can’t fit in a suitcase like beach towels and a cooler and a first aid kit (for when you scratch yourself on the coral snorkeling), etc. The kitchen has all the essentials as well so you only need to buy fruit & veg & meat because all the seasonings and condiments are already there.
The bed is amazing and you won’t wake up with a backache.
The bathroom and the kitchen will make you want remodel your own.
It’s easy to cool down with the fans and the shades so that you can achieve just the right temperature.
Perhaps the best part of the place is the restaurant called The Beach House which is literally next-door. The happy hour at the Beach House is worth planning your day around and you won’t need dinner after a few of their amazing appetizers: our top choices were the poke tacos, sautéed green beans and the signature cocktails while sitting on the lawn chairs and watching the sun set. For dinner, the seafood linguine and filet mignon are to die for.
The only tip I would give is to do your grocery shopping at Costco or Safeway AS SOON AS you get off the plane because the local shops are incredibly expensive compared to mainland prices (2-3 times) and don’t have much variety. The big shops are closer to the airport so you’ll save yourself a trip if you do it straight away. Don’t get me wrong - we still like the local shops for the pineapple, fish and papaya but wish we had hit the Safeway first.
Be prepared to wake up early to watch the sunrise because the roosters just wouldn’t have it any other way. 😉
