I'm giving my opinion on the bay because the hotel seems abandoned today. Sheltered from the prevailing winds, it's a feast for the eyes, especially since there were very few boats. Fine sand, coconut palms, turquoise water, a few colorful houses—magnificent.

The Island was tragically hit by the hurican 4 months ago. The buildings are partly rebuild. The hotel itself looks like an aboned ruin. Close a new areal with bungalows will be build. The island convinces with a nice view, beautiful beach and clear water. Also tasty food like ribs, chicken, lobster till to the catch of the day is available.
