Had a week on Doini and had the best rest I've had for nearly two years, great food from Mathew the chef and great service from Anna and staff, room was always clean and fresh towels everyday, the kids swam and swam and dived all day so wore them out. For me going over on the boat was a bit rough but coming back was great, can't control the weather. We will be back.
